Nice looking group so far!  Don't forget that groups will be formed in November, so be sure to sign up as soon as possible.

Sometimes it's good to get back in the swing of things.  Don't want your skills to putter off.

If anyone hasn't picked up Neo Turf Masters yet, it's on sale on GOG right now. $2.99, so 50% off.

Alright, we are nearing mid-November and it's almost time to draw our teams for the golf tournament in December.  Right now, we have 10 participants signed up and I'd like to get at least two more to have four teams of 3 players.  If you have not signed up yet and want to participate, let me know.

Rules have been added to the initial post. Please look over them and make any suggestions if you feel that are necessary or need clarification. Thank you!

No cheating, where's the fun in that 😁

Are team scores averaged? We are allowed to replay the course over the whole 10 days or just once?

Great questions. Team scores will not be averaged. I will take the lowest course score from each participant and add them all together. For instance if a team of three has the following scores on a course: -3, -6, and + 7, their team course score would be -2. I will then take the scores from all three courses at the end of the month and do them the same way.

During the 10 days that you play each course, you can play that course as many times as you want and continue to submit your lowest score until the 10 days are up.

I hope this answers your questions and please let me know if I need to clarify, or answer anything else. Thanks

You answered everything clearly. Thanks!

Just a REMINDER, the official cut off for signing up for the golf tournament is NOVEMBER 23RD.

While I'm at it, here are a few updates:

1. Prizes - Yep, I'm at it again and just picked up an item today in hopes of fabricating some prizes.  This year, each member of the winning team will get a prize to display in their game room/gaming area, and I will also give out a special prize to the participant with the overall lowest score for the month.

2. Team Selection - As a means of keeping it interesting (in terms of s#$t talking), Shawn and I have decided to captain opposing teams, and we have invited bickman2k to captain a third, since he was the Punch-out champion from last year.  This means that after the 23rd, I will draw names (videoed of course) and place each participant on a team.  So far we have 10 people signed up, so if these numbers hold, there will be two teams of 3 and one team of 4.  In this instance, what will happen is that the third place score from the team of four will be dropped at the end of the month. Here's an example:

Let's say that myself, Fokakis, FRO, and Crabby are on the 4 person team.  Crabby's overall score is a -14, Fokakis is -10, FRO is -9, and I (banana) am at -6.  FRO's score would be dropped for an overall team score of -30.  Don't worry, if you are on the four person team and your team wins, you will still receive the team prize.

If other people join before the 23rd, then we will adjust accordingly, but I would like for teams to be comprised of at least 3-4 members.

If you have any questions or concerns, please let me know.  I'm kind of winging it here, but I want to make sure that the competition is as fair as possible and would appreciate any input you guys may have to make this event as fun as possible. I will be posting this information in the initial post as well.

This scenario is not outside the realm of possibility. In fact, it's a really real possibility

Sorry bud, at least I put myself last

You have high hopes for my golf skills. Other than Turf Masters it's been a decade since I played the other two...

I think that all of us will be saying the same thing. Should be a lot of fun this year, especially with teams involved.  I think we should come up with team names as well.
