mike henderson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament"Excellent thinking Rich. Probably the only way to “fix” this issue is for there to be 2 Divisions.

Richard Schmidt replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament"Hey Jay
I've read and re read your post, and wanted to share a couple of things with everyone on my thought process. I'm going to use you as an example - I trust you won't mind, or otherwise take offense.
The last several…"
mike henderson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament"There is a reason the MAJORITY of golf tournaments are doing this. It is fair and equitable. Another is to arbitrarily hand out handicaps based on recent scores. You have mentioned several needed changes Rich and good on ya’ for acknowledging…"
Jay Mickle replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament" A 2 handicap at 80% would lose1.6 strokes which rounds to 2. No Reduction. I on the other hand I lose 4 strokes. At 50% the 2 handicap loses 1, I lose 11. Sounds great. Count me out."
Bob Georgiade replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament"Let's see, your modern handicap is a 2? and they take away a stroke. Is that correct? "
Lang Willie Engelson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament"We tried to minimize that impact by scheduling it later in October.
Far and Sure,
Lang Willie"
mike henderson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion Hickory Haggis Tournament"All great ideas Rich! Especially using only a percentage of a players handicap. I play in quite a few golf tournaments and the larger better run ones only give a percentage of the handicap, some as low as 30% but usually it is 50%-75%. I appreciate…"
mike henderson replied to Richard Schmidt's discussion I love Bernard Darwin!!! Any other Bernard Darwin observations - please add!!!"Truer words were never written!"

Hello all and thank you for accepting me into this organization. I have just recently discovered and acquired some hickory golf clubs and have found a new spark for the game of golf with these. Looking for any information and direction as I am in the midst of putting together my first set. Any information and help would be greatly appreciated. I look forward to hopefully be involved in future events and getting to know some of you.

Equipment Help
Hello, I just joined the group last night and am looking forward to playing. I love the tradition and history of the game. Does anyone know of a good source of hickory clubs other than the bay? Swap meets etc.. possibly in NC?
Thanks

I am overwhelmed by the response to our tragic loss. The outpouring of wishes, food, labor, contributions,etc is beyond comprehension. Thank you all.

An anvil too soon silenced. My son Evan died today. The son any parent would wish for, the husband and father too good to be true, the dedicated farrier all horses dream of, went out to work around his new farm and for no apparent reason just died.
To lose a parent is to lose touch with…

Roaring Gap a Hit Again
Jay Harris once again hosted a wonderful Hickory event at Roaring Gap CC. The course is a treat to pay using hickories and the greens are terrific. Weather was perfect for the 24 players and this is something you should not miss next September. Thanks to Jay for all his efforts.
