2023 Opening Quotas and Rules

 

KRAKOW OLDTIMERS GOLF GROUP

Our Motto

To competitively golf with friends.

 

Tee times:  Tuesday/Thursday at Noon.  Saturday at 11:00.  Arrive 15 minutes early for the draw.

 

Purse:  Each player will pay $3.50.  $3.00 for the game, $.50 for greenies.  Exact change please.

 

Scoring:  Stableford-based.  Double Eagle, +8.  Eagle, +5.  Birdie, +3.  Par, +2. Bogey, +1.  Double Bogey, 0.   

                Triple Bogey or worse, –1.

 

Individual Quota:  Each player will earn a quota based on the scores recorded for his last, five rounds  Each new round will replace the oldest.  

 A player's score will consist of the actual scores recorded on the front, back and total, however, any score worse than –3 total will be recorded 

as -3.  No player will have a 5-round-quota greater than 36 (Even Par,) or lower than 20 (87, or 16 over par.)  We will have two seasons.  The 

Primary Season will be April 1^st through October 31^st.  The Winter Season will be November 1^st through March 31^st at which time quotas will 

revert to what they were at the end of the Primary Season.

 

Playing Rules:  Each player may either play the ball up (improving lie but not position) or down as he chooses.  But, the player must ALWAYS 

play the ball the same way.  Given the maintenance of the bunkers, players may rake and place the ball as they see fit.  Gimme putts can be 

conceded if properly measured to insure that any part of the ball lies within 24-inches from the cup.  Players are encouraged to mark their putters 

with a piece of tape that begins 24-inches from the edge of the HANDLE to the edge of the tape.  The flagsticks are marked, but using them to 

measure can be awkward and destructive to the green and cup.  Of great importance, turn your score cards and money in before you put your 

equipment away.  It speeds up calculation and payout at the end.

 

Each player will "Select his Tee Box" based on one of the two following methods: Age or Driving Distance.

 

Age                                                  Tee                                        Driving Distance Recommendations

49 and below                                     Blue                                        230 yards plus              6,200 – 6,400

50 to 69                                            White                                      200 yards                     5,800 – 6,000

70 to 79                                            Gold                                        175 yards                     5,200 – 5,400

80 to 89                                            Red                                         160 yards                     4,400 – 4,600

90 and up                                         Orange                                    >150 yards                    2,800 – 4,200

 

The primary purpose of the Oldtimers is to have everyone enjoy the competition and everyone to have the opportunity to be a champion.   

We all age at different rates and whatever tees we play, we are basically competing against ourselves.  FCCC will be moving some of the tees 

throughout  this year and the next.  The objective of theses new tees is to give greater enjoyment to us all … based on our own ability and based 

on what our capabilities are.  Take a look at the two “Select Tee Box" methods identified above and if you wish to move based on the acceptable 

criteria, contact Dave Dister and he will give you your adjusted quota. However, once you move, you must stay there.  Moving back and forth is

too confusing.

 

Charlie Johnson writes a blog containing your latest, up-to-date quota, plus results from the latest contests and anecdotes from the matches.   

So, if you have something you’d like to share, contact him with the background and he’ll include it in his write-ups.  Thanks to Charlie, the blogs 

give us even more enjoyment from our competitions.  You’ll find the blog … and, to repeat, your updated quota ... when you log in to Google or 

Bing or Yahoo and type Krakowoldtimersgolfgroupblog.  Charlie will also tell you which Par 3s are greenie holes.  One on the front and one on 

the back.  Changed monthly!

 

You won’t get rich.  You won't go broke.  You'll be an integral part of the fairest, every-stroke-you-make-counts golf competition you’ll ever play.

Mush you huskies

After 3 & 1/2 inches of rain those who brought extra shoes and socks(no one) were in control. With 11 players all three teams tied total with -8.

Cold to warm is better than warm to wet cold.

The auctioneer and the land baron ran away and hid Thursday. Tying total, each winning a side, and each getting a greenie. They swept total with Leroy n CJ expressing their gratitude with lots of "good shot boys". They were comfortably in the clubhouse munching cheese balls and drinking beer while the "second group" finished up in the spitting rain and a cold north wind......................Leroy Eggert +1 to 29. Mike Clark +1 to 35. Rich Purschke -1 to 22. Tom Dunlavy -1 to 24.

Fame is fleeting

Of the six oldtimers who braved the threatening rain Thurday only the hearty souls Charlie V and Mac were plus for the day. Tuesdays supernova CJ, with his eagle and +7 was late to the dance and promptly crashed and burned. Mike and Mac got the greenie's.........................Bill Hall +1. Winter Quotas Aholt 30 * Baer 29 * Blackwell 29 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Cozzo 27 * Crow 35 * Curran 28 * Curtis 30 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 25 * Ecklekamp 36 * Eggert 28 * Eichelberger 35 * Fortner 29 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 29 * Herrick 27 * Johnson 29 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 21 * Miller 22 * Mitchell 27 * Moosmann 29 * Morris 23 * Nealis 22 * Purschke 23 * Sharma 28 * Stoehner 23 * Triplett 30 * Viox 27 * Voss, Chas 26 * Voss, Colby 32 * Voss, Dean 35 * Zastrow 35 *

Tuesday

One quota change. Charlie Johnson +1 to 29.

They chose poorly

Charlie V and Greg were the top of the class Tuesday winning 1st n 2nd on total plus a side. Their deadbeat partners(who shall remain nameless), however, were a combined -21. Leroy's partners Tom(second on front) n Mike were much more helpful and they swept the team game. Mike was closest on 5(but no hole-in-one). Greg benevolently split closest on 11 with loghead, who may or may not have been in the ragged edge of the fringe......................In the most volatile of seasons and on a day when only 30% of the 10 combatants posted positive scores, there were only two quota changes. Greg Curran +1 to 28. Charlie Johnson -1 to 28. Winter Quotas Aholt 30 * Baer 29 * Blackwell 29 * Clark 34 * Coleman 33 * Cozzo 27 * Crow 35 * Curran 28 * Curtis 30 * Dister 27 * Dunlavy 25 * Ecklekamp 36 * Eggert 28 * Eichelberger 35 * Fortner 29 * Gildehaus 29 * Hall 28 * Herrick 27 * Johnson 28 * Kavanaugh 28 * Kossmann 25 * Loyd 21 * Miller 22 * Mitchell 27 * Moosmann 29 * Morris 23 * Nealis 22 * Purschke 23 * Sharma 28 * Stoehner 23 * Triplett 30 * Viox 27 * Voss, Chas 26 * Voss, Colby 32 * Voss, Dean 35 * Zastrow 35 *

Most struggled but not the dragon slayer. Mike fired off a +4, +6, +10 with a hole-in-one on 5 to win going away. He carried his team of Leroy, Ray, and Ryan E to a trifecta win.
