We are supposed to have a full group allready... but you know how that usually works...

We will check with you if somebody can't make it.

Hopefully you will be able to connect tonight.

k good to know its not just me... at this point i am starting to go crazy.....

Ming · July 19, 2003, 18:45

Well... It's good to see you around now. Hopefully rah won't be all that much longer, and won't pass out on the couch when he gets home. It's key we get started as soon as he gets there... can't give him the chance.

With any kind of luck, barano should be around soon too... and if he doesn't, or rah does pass out, HH said he would be around.

rah · July 19, 2003, 20:05

I'm here, and not passed out.

Ming · July 19, 2003, 20:09

Now where did war go... he just dropped off line... it doesn't bode well...

Ming · July 20, 2003, 03:37

Bummer that war lost his connection... and HH never responded... At least we got a three person game in.

War4ever · July 21, 2003, 00:14

gr....... i can't waiiiiiiiiiiit to move....... new provider, new connetion, a new round of Civ....

Ming · July 21, 2003, 00:39

move... damn it

rah · July 21, 2003, 08:01

Yep another lost weekend. I really need the competition.

Ming · July 21, 2003, 10:22

What really sucked was that War was on line and ready to go until about 2 minutes before you showed up. One minute he's there and you aren't home yet... and the next time I looked, you were home, and he was off line...

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

rah · July 21, 2003, 10:27

Well it's probably better that he had already dropped vs. dropping 10 minutes into the game.

Ming · July 21, 2003, 10:29

Good point...

Berzerker · July 21, 2003, 14:48

How did the scramble go, Rah?

Ming · July 21, 2003, 15:08

He wasn't too drunk, so they couldn't have done that bad

Ming · July 21, 2003, 16:41

Hmmm... as is my standard tradition...

20,000 it is. I predicted a long time ago it would probably be late July. Not a bad guess back then

War4ever · July 21, 2003, 23:00

DD Ming, see, even at your age you get them

Hydey · July 22, 2003, 06:25

Our host hadn't played since May. It showed. One other player has been playing bad, so it ended up almost a two man effort. We finished 6 under in 4th place. Which was respectable. There were two stacked teams (all players under 10 handicap) that finished at 12 under. They were heading to a playoff when I bailed.

"Only" 12 under to win? 6 under has a shot at 3rd??

Wow. The cheaters in my events are even worse than the cheaters in your events...

rah · July 22, 2003, 09:48

The prize fund is calculated after the bar bill is settled. So there was no real incentive to cheat. (in fact, this year, they had to take up a donation after the round to pay the winners) It's mostly a family tournament, (every family member puts together a team) so I would be shocked if there was ANY cheating at all.

I have not and never will cheat in a scramble. If you're going to do that, why bother playing?

RAH
Which is probably why I don't win many scrambles.

Berzerker · July 22, 2003, 23:50

A scramble is cheating

but fun nonetheless

Berzerker · July 22, 2003, 23:53

Btw u guys, this coming Monday night is another of those "Battle at Little Bighorn", but this time it's "Battle at the Bridges" or something like that. Tiger and Ernie Els v Phil Mickelson and Sergio I think. I loved watching the pros start hacking the last time they played with artifical lighting.

Berzerker · July 22, 2003, 23:59

Oh yeah, I was afraid Ming thought I was cheating at...ah hell...was it the second course we played? Anyway, we both pulled our drives to the left (is there any other way to pull a drive?) and we pulled up in the cart to start looking for our balls (no, not those balls). I stumbled around a while looking as he wandered off and found his ball. He found his and I was heading back to the cart to get a ball to drop and found mine maybe 15 feet from the cart in plain view.

But when I called out to him about my discovery, I felt like he was mumbling, "BS"

I am sure it must have been "Berz" or something similar

Ming · July 23, 2003, 00:19

Gee Berz... I'm sorry you felt paranoid... I don't even remember that incident... and never once thought you were cheating at all. You don't cheat at Civ, so it never crossed my mind that you might cheat at golf.

If I was mumbling "BS" it was probably in regards to how I played the entire the time you were here

Berzerker · July 23, 2003, 00:58

I know I should say I don't cheat because it's wrong, but I don't cheat at civ because it would take too much effort to learn how. Dropping a ball in the grass doesn't take hours of reading up on computers.

My paranoia really had nothing to do with you, just how I feel if I'm competing with someone and their lost ball appears out of nowhere just a few feet away from where I just walked. On second thought, it was on ~#7 at Kemper and I was riding with Rah.

It's all coming back now. I duffed my next shot leaving me a wedge to the green, but that damn wind was ripping through and changing direction so my next shot sailed high and right to the front right edge of the green. I had a long putt up a ridge and didn't make it so my ball rolled back down - I 4 putted

Rah used his knock down shot and avoided the wind and got a bogey I think after hitting his drive into the trees short of where my drive was. Yup, that was it, we were looking for the balls along that road going thru the course near the clubhouse, so maybe it was the 8th or 9th hole. Nevermind, I'm just babbling...

Ming · July 23, 2003, 01:56

Well that would explain why I don't remember it

rah · July 23, 2003, 08:30

Nice to know I'm not the only one that has senior moments.

The 8th hole was where you where you 4 putted.
You pulled your drive and had to pitch out.

The 9th hole is where we were both searching for our balls along the road.
