How did that end up playing out, TB?
[/quote]

Ended up splitting it up of course... Which annoys me.

. Our pro shot 71-68 and ended up winning the pro event ($10,000) in his pocket. I also shot 71-68 and won a goose egg. The way I look at it is like playing skins in a publinx match and then skin winners have to split with their partner which NEVER happenes. That's $450 in other guys pockets that had zero contribution to me making eagle but whatever, it is what it is.

We also won the team best ball event so each of us got $250 pro shop credit. It wasn't all bad I guess.

That sucks. Was the "suggestion" from your boss the type of suggestion Kim Jong-IL would make to his North Korean people? A job preservation move to agree to the split? What did the pro say when you split the money? Are the pro and your boss buddies? (Sorry if you mentioned that earlier).

Got the Srixon Z U45 3 iron all shafted up with a nice shiny Modus 120x ready to hit the range this afternoon. Excited to test it out! Also excited to pick up a golf club for only the first time since August 23rd!

Welcome to parenthood. Hopefully, your son takes up the sport and you will have a permanent playing partner in 10 years.

Yea that has certainly been part of it. Combined with a lot of work travel and a bathroom remodel that took up the past two weekends. Excited to play again!

Suggestion was more like "we are spitting it because..." Not really an option. I am too laid back to get up in arms over it face to face but I wish I would have in hindsight. The money was given to my boss too which I thought was interesting and then I was the last one paid out if my own skin, even more interesting. The pro didn't say anything about it at all and I wasn't there when he was given his cut. The pro and my boss are kind of pals but not friends I wouldn't say

Hey man, just turn pro, and then all your winnings will be yours, and I won't have to worry about you in any of the amateur events. Its a win-win for us.

Hmmm. I bumped into a pro at our club last night who spent about 4 years in Tampa on the mini tour circuit, etc. I asked him about your situation. He said that it was not uncommon to split a skin, so long as it was agreed upon upfront, otherwise, it's your skin. He also said that, especially given the fact he won the overall prize, it was a d!ck move for the pro to keep his cut. Word of doing that would get around real quick, and the other pros would shun him for doing that. The "respectful to the pro" part was a load of crap, from what I gathered.

He agrees with most everyone here you were dealing with some real pr!cks.

Random question for guys that have played Battle Creek Country Club recently. Is this the most up to date scorecard? http://www.oobgolf.com/courses/scorecard.php?id=7444

They don't have one available on their website. We have an outing there next Saturday for 44 guys and I am responsible for scorecards and skins. I want to make sure I am using the most up to date information.

Thanks!

I'm not a BCC expert, but played the Fall Medal there last Sept and a few other times. This looks correct to me.

Have fun on the 18th green, takes a really good shot to get to the top of it, you'll know what I'm talking about when you see it.

I cant think of anywhere else to post this soooooo....


Does anybody plan on going to Bellaire area or play "The Chief" THIS season. I bought 2 18 hole with cart rounds because I usually do a couple Traverse City trips, but just wont make it again this year. PM me address and I send the to you if you'll ACTUALLY use them. Expire at the end of this year. I'll cut and paste this into Detroit Area golfers thread as well. Just PM me and go play.I love that place.

[/quote]got fitted. If you dont get fitted theres not point in getting it. If you dont get fitted its basically a little better than a scotty, but if you get fitted it allows you to aim.

I couldn't jump on with the nike grind. I tried the scratch on a course and had a lot of success with it. Hard to argue with results..

That sounds like fun. Is that tournament invite only or can anyone put together a team?
