<p>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! <br>

are used for scratch golfers. Slope ratings are used for
bogey golfers. Based on these definitions it's pretty
clear that slope rating is what we should look at if we

with what tees we hit from <span><span

<p>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. <br>
</p>
<p>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!)</p>
<p>It was also pointed out how quickly we got around... Having
people hit fairways... will definitely speed things up.<br>
</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.<br>
</p>
<p>My two cents.</p>
