For those of you unfamiliar with The Firecracker event, here are the elements:
In rotating order, Player A tees from the Red tees on Hole 1 (and 5 and 9 and 13 and 17), the other 3 from the Whites.
Player A’s score + 1 the best score of the 3 from the whites is the total for that hole.
On the 2nd hole, the 2nd man on the scorecard hits from the Red tees and his score with the best of the then remaining 3 is the score for that hole.
3rd man plays Red tees on hole 3 (and 7 and 11 and 15) and
The 4th man then tees off on the 4th (8th. 12th and 16th) hole(s)
The round is Non-postable.
We would use 20% of each player's h/c.

Chaps: Virtually all the Mondays immediately after a month with 5 Wednesdays - when we've typically played an Away event - have HOLIDAYS those Mondays.
So the best date/private club opportunity I can arrange for 2022 is the 5/23 set for this event. I recognize that there is a 2-man Combined score event at Bal2 days later but , heck, how often can we get to play a course as nice as Lomas Santa Fe??
BUT I NEED TO HAVE AN IDEA AS TO WHO WILL BE PLAYING THERE, so please sign up soon.
No drop-outs accepted afer 4/30 and the possibility of drop-ins after that date would be only the 1 or 2 openings I may have from incomplete pairings.
Our Annual Men’s Club 64 to 32 to 16 to 8 to 4 to 2 to 1 Match Play
Exemptions include but are not limited to past Match Play Champions, last year's Semifinalists, all 2022 Saturday Team Play participants, and current Board Members. The field of 64 will be filled by the next eligible entrants in the order of entry into the event. All others will be placed on a wait list, based on order of entry.

What is a SHAMBLE?
When it's said that a shamble tournament "feels more like a regular game of golf," it means that on every shot (except the second one) the golfers are, in fact, just playing regular golf. That is, they are hitting their own golf ball from its own position. That second shot exception is the scramble element that gives the twist to the shamble format.
Off the Tee
Like in a scramble, all members of a team tee off and the best drive of the tee shots is selected. All players move their balls to the location of that best drive. That is the location from which each golfer plays his or her second stroke. Therefore, if Golfer B hits the best drive, Golfer A picks up their drive, walks over to the location of B's ball, and all play their next strokes from that location.
Into the Hole
Once each golfer in a shamble plays his second stroke, he continues playing his own golf ball into the hole, in each case from wherever it lies. No more choosing the best of the second shots, best of the third shots, etc., as you'd do in a scramble tournament. That scramble element is only used after the tee balls. After that, each golfer on a team plays his or her own ball into the hole. They play "real golf," in other words.

Our 1st event of the year was adversely affected by the weather (and probably the level of Covid concern). We had the smallest number of attendees EVER.
Let's try again!
Outdoor seating, amply spaced. Good eats!
What say you
a) indicate you intend to come or
b) tell me to wait setting these up until 2024 or something like that...

We have so many players under a 3 handicap that I am going to give a try to a Big Game Hunter Match --> GROSS ONLY and WINNER TAKE ALL. The entry fee will be $20 Venmo to $daryx by Tuesday at 5:00 pm.
WHAT WE ARE PLAYING FOR
1. Normal Entry - 5 Flights 2 Gross 6 Net - $15 (Included)
2. Closest To Pin - $5 (Included/opted out)
3. Gross Skins - $20 (Optional via Venmo daryx)
4. Big Game Hunter - $20 (Optional via Venmo daryx)
2 Man Team Event - Pinehurst Format
Estimated Payouts: 4 Flights 6 Net (55, 40, 30, 25, 20, 15)
(Payouts subject to changes based on entry.)
Here's how Pinehurst works.
It's a two-person team format, and every hole begins with both players playing drives. The two partners walk forward to the golf balls, then they switch golf balls. Golfer A hits Golfer B's ball, from where B's drive came to rest. And Golfer B plays Golfer A's ball, from A's drive came to rest. (MAKE SURE TO KEEP A BALL IN YOUR POCKET TO PLAY SECOND SHOT ---- SO WE AREN'T RUNNING AROUND)
After their second shots, the partners compare the results. Which golf ball is in the best position? They select that ball and pick up the other.
From the third stroke on, they play alternate shot until the ball is holed.
And that's Pinehurst: Hit drives, switch balls for the second strokes, pick up the worse of the balls after the second stroke, play alternate shot into the hole from there.
Handicaps In Pinehurst System
Handicap allowances for Pinehurst competitions can be found in the USGA Handicap Manual, Section 9-4 (www.usga.com). But to summarize, on a team where Golfer A is the lower-handicapped partner and Golfer B the higher-handicapped:
Stroke play: Take 60-percent of Golfer A's course handicap and add it to 40-percent of Golfer B's course handicap for the team's Pinehurst handicap.
