Thank you, Bob. And as usual, you're being too gracious. I missed that birdie putt on 16.

Oh...by the way guys.

Whatever Huckaby tells you his handicap is, lower it by about 5 strokes before agreeing to play against him.

He's a veritable machine.  

I was when I was with you at Sand Hills, Mike... but those days are sadly few and far between.

 :'(

I will attest for Rick though for sure - the man can play nearly as well as he can write.  Well, check that, he'd have to shoot 65 at MPCC to match that standard.  But the man can play.

All the others jive with my memory also.  But I'll also say that those who say CPC is an easy course must play a game with which I am unfamiliar.  Bob is gracious to list me among those who've played to their handicaps there... I believe I have once or twice.. but I've also been WAY above several other times... And I sure have witnessed many others going above their handicaps there...

BTW lest I forget, Ash Towe is the real machine.  After a shaky awe-filled start at CPC, he played the last 14 holes in about even par.

Mike,

Agreed, TH is a very dangerous man... ;)

Anyway, I'm more avid than my ability to play allows, currently 5.2.

12.8 last I looked, but you may not want me as a partner. Not that I'm not competitive, but I really, really just enjoy being on a course more than I ever have at any point in my life.  ;)

Grant, I didn't read the posts, but I'll take my guess.  Before I do, are you weighting for the number of posts?  I see "the average handicap of the person that posted" a comment as being different than "the average handicap of the 1500 site members" because guys like Pat Mucci and Tom Paul post so much.

If it is the former, I'll take the average handicap of those two guys.  4?  I'm not sure.  I think they are both strong players.

If it is the latter I'll go with 8.

If I'm right, is there a prize?

Golf nut case....

10.8 at the moment, down from 15.1 in June, and up from 6.8 in July of 2004.

It's been interesting

Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta
