I saw Don this morning... I don't think he remembered saying that... But 
for the record... he now playing at Hidden Creek on Monday mornings... 
from the  whites. Plus he is doing well... very well!

Obviously you did not read Brian's email... Passaconaway's green tees 
are the third highest slope of all the courses around with the 
Passcconaway whites being the highest. The green slops are equal to NCC 
and higher that Overlook.

Looking at the scores you sent me this morning only 6 people out 34 
people that played had a positive score... Mostly +1 or +2 with the 
exception of Jack who had a +5 (Nice round Jack!)

It was also pointed out how quickly we got around... Having people hit 
fairways... will definitely speed things up.

Lets face it... What is the average age of our league, including subs? 
50 or 55+? Some in their 60s and some in their 70s.

All I'm trying to do make more enjoyable for everyone... not just the 
big hitters. If that is deemed "everyone gets a trophy"... so be it.

My two cents.
