    BeechFL:

    I too would like to become a member of another country club.  The club that I am currently a member of is trying to come up with some sort of handicap system to enable the players that shoot 85 to have a chance at beating players that shoot 62.  That's the problem with this world, everybody feels like they are entitled to win without putting forth any effort.  I play real golf and I know giving strokes is all part of the game, I carry a 7 handicap and I usually have to give strokes to my buddies but that is real golf.  We play from the same tees and I can hit it further than them so I don't mind it.  But I will not give 21 strokes on a computer game to someone that is a level 80 tour pro with a driver that outperforms my driver by over 20 yds as well as the other clubs in their bag.  I mean is it really fair to make Kiawah a par 64 for me and a par 85 to someone else with better equipment?

    Here it is, point it out?  What did I say that is badmouthing ur club?  

    That's the problem with this world, everybody feel like they are entitled to win without putting forth any effort?   

    Is that the sentence you are saying I went BALLISTIC?  LOL

    I mean really, where in here am I going ballistic?  

    Educate me please!

    This thread reminds me of the Marvin Gaye song, " What's going on ?"

    Maybe try Stableford scoring system, 1 bad hole cant hurt you that much.

    He kicked me out because his reading skills are similar to yours.

    Wow, I really appreciate that, Beech.  In my opinion, I've been nothing but respectful...even in my response response to you once you had disparaged what we were trying to do.

    Here is what you wrote, my friend:

    In my opinion, that was not just a neutral opinion, that was disparaging and extremely negative about our club.  We were in the middle of building a robust system for some tourneys, as you now admit (1 out of 5 tourneys then; 1 out of 5 tourneys right now as I write this).  But here, while the system was still being developed, you went onto the main forums and blasted the philosophy as if it was pre-decided and happening for every tournament. 

    Don't like my opinion, or my reading skills?  Here is a response from a completely neutral person who has never "met" me here or elsewhere:

    Lashe:

    Beech.  For what its worth, you did call out the CC whilst you were still a member there.  Not much of a leap for anyone here to check out your profile and see what CC you were referring to.

    LOL, again, you cannot come up with what started this entire mess.  You accused me of badmouthing your club and cannot come up with anything.  I'm not a sore loser, I lose all the time and have no problems at all.  That single tournament has nothing to do with me wanting to leave, it was the ASSUMPTION on my part that ALL the tourneys were going to be handicapped.  I ASSUMED WRONGLY , I openly admit that.  You just continue to try and construe it in another direction.

    You still haven't pointed out how I was badmouthing ur club.

    I just have to say we are going to have to agree to disagree.  My purpose of posting in this thread was to find another country club and not to Blast your country club.  I'm sorry that you feel this way and it wasn't my intention to blast your club Jay.  I'm done commenting on this and I wish you well!

    I hereby complete the total hijacking of this thread!

     

    From now on it's devoted to song titles describing it!...Maybe this will get them to close it.
