Topp's Travels 2013 - Destroying GCA'ers $1 at a time
« on: September 06, 2013, 11:47:18 AM »
I have not done as much travelling this year as my travel budget is being donated to a new house and to Southern Methodist University.  However, I have a great lineup of courses scheduled over the next two weeks and will be attempting to destroy many GCA folks along the way.  The plan is to play $1 matches.  The schedule includes the following:

     Today - Midland Hills - teamed up with Rose Kelly against Dan Kelly and Shane Wright
     Tomorrow - Windsong Farm - the course closes in the afternoon to host the Gopher Invitational.  No GCA'ers involved but    participants in the Barley Cup will remember Chad Hartman and Jon Bishop who I intent to punish.
     Sunday - Interlachen.  Opponents still being determined but no GCA'ers involved
     Wednesday - a day long beating of Cory Lewis at Greensboro CC and Old Town.
     Thursday - Southern Pines and Dormie - other victims lined up
     Friday - Tobacco Road - other victims
     Saturday - Mid Pines/Pine Needles for the famed Hatala Cup
     Sunday - Pinehurst Number 2 unless Hart Huffines is too intimidated by that point.

I am really looking forward to connecting with old friends and seeing some great golf courses.  Anyone in the Pinehurst area looking for a beer in the evening before dinner Thursday, Friday or Saturday (which will be at 8:30 each night) should let me know.  However, I could be so full of myself and so wealthy by that point I might not be the best company.

I assume Rose is going to carry your game for, oh, 18 holes or so.....

We're playing for $1 huh?  So how many strokes do I have to give you and are we playing two separate matches or one match across 36 holes.

You also forgot to mention you will have the assistance of the best caddie at The Dormie Club for your destruction  ;D

$1 per round and my current index is 6.2 so I expect you will be giving me a stroke per hole.

I have no idea how Jason plays, but, I'll take Mr. Lewis and give 2;1. Unless Ran negotiates the strokes for Cory on how many he has to give, then it's 10;1.

Probably wise.  According to the USGA I get 4 a side. 

Cory - have you had your swing analyzed by Golf Tec?  Could you please do so in the next week?

All that golf with Topp I would have enough 1's to spend a month in a strip club.

I feel honored to have the opportunity to give future GCA'ers over the next week the chance to match up against a very humbled opponent.  Operation Humility starts this afternoon  ;D

Enjoy the great week ahead. 

Are you sure you can't make it to the Mashie?  You can take your pick of opponents who can contribute to the house and tuition fund.

I prefer hand-picked weak opponents.

Give this to Mr. Topp:

He was smart enough to grab Rose instead of me.

If I'm following this, and I think I am, I'm pretty sure that makes me one of the hand-picked weak opponents.

According to my GHIN App

Dan and I cancel each other out at 7
Rose is a 5 and Shane a 2

Format could be key to the outcome.

What is truly disturbing is that I just spent the last 10 minutes varying this and Yes you are right.  Based on the slope ratings of the tees and your current index and mine, I have to give you 4 a side.  Stupid plus handicap!!!

I think the Lee Trevino approach will be appropriate today.  I won't have a dollar in my pocket.

Don't worry about it, Shane.

I'll have two ... and, later, three.
