can i buy generic Lyrica When my friends and I play on Sunday mornings, we use our Sunday Morning Group scorecard, which Jim created for us with a desktop publishing program that he uses in his job. Among other features, it lists our local rules, such as “You get an extra stroke if you wear shorts after November 1” and “No one gets a stroke on a par 3.” Some of the older guys complain about the par-3 rule, but what can we do? It’s printed right on the card.
This year, Hacker (real name) had the idea of celebrating golf’s four majors, on each major’s final day, by using not our own Sunday scorecard but the scorecard from whatever course the major was being played on. So during our regular game this weekend we used the scorecard of the Ocean Course at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort, where the PGA Championship was held. (You can download the Ocean Course card yourself, from either of the links in this paragraph.)
The main effect of using another course’s scorecard on your own course is that most of the handicap strokes fall in unfamiliar places. This impacts one of our local rules, because (for example) although our sixteenth hole is ordinarily a par 3 (meaning that no one gets a stroke on it), on the Ocean Course it’s a par 5 with a stroke index of 4 (meaning that anyone receiving 4 or more strokes that day gets a pop).
We compounded the impact by using a best-ball feature that I introduced a few years ago, called All Birdies. In All Birdies, all under-par scores on any hole count. On the sixteenth hole, for example, I had a 2 and my three teammates had net 2s. Since Kiawah’s sixteenth is a par 5, our four 2s counted as albatrosses and our team went -12 on that hole alone. That wasn’t enough to win, unfortunately, but we felt pretty tough for a while. (The winning team was Tim’s, at -31. Theirs is the top card on the pile in the photo below.)

Why is this an article? You should just go play Monoply or Risk. If you want to “play” the Ocean Course, book your group in at Kiawah Island. Playing fantasy golf just doesn’t cut it. Surely you can come up with a better game than this?! What’s next, Bingle, Bangle, Bongle?
you can also play with the Risiko’s rules, or blinded with a lemon in your mouth…
At our club we have tournaments on major weekends. It is a four-ball with the pros. Say 25 players enter the tournament we select the top 25 PGA pros on the leader board and have a blind draw for partners. Some times, like the Masters, our 11th is a par 3 and there 12 is a par three, we have to adjust the layout of holes on the card. After you play your round then you sit and watch the tournament with your buddies and see who wins. It’s fun and you care about some guy that isn’t on TV but playing well as he can help win the money.
This is a great idea, and it could possibly be adapted to the Ryder Cup as well.
