Ace,
Thanks for the fantastic day on the mountain!
Congrats/condolences to the newbies. KD, recommend some Ace juice for the leg,
but would avoid any blood testing sites. Rules, your games were a blast, and
will be stealing your format for a couple’s league event. Ace, I'm available
for a witness deposition this week if Kay doesn't believe you won the long
drive with that Bryson bomb, but wouldn't mention that it was hit with a
driver from Chi Chi labs Inc.
Heard that XO’s team winning performance from the back tees was even hotter
than the weather, but never did see the blind guy either. Congrats to Swamp
for skinning us and can’t wait to chase it around with the Four Snowmen
again.

Subject: [sogagg] Thank You!!!
Ace,
Thank you so much for an absolutely fantastic day on the links today. What
great fun it was to see the SOGAGGers out floundering, fanning, flailing, and
frolicking (any other “f’ words that might be used here??) So much
appreciated all of your generosity and orchestration of today’s entire
enterprise.
As a sidelight, it seemed that (almost) everyone exhibited pretty good
behavior (you know who you are…). So we MAY be able to return (probably
best in disguise), some time in the future.
All in all – an OUTSTANDING DAY!!!!
You are the best!!!
Warmest wishes,
KD

SOGAGG COLLEAGUES,
The time is nigh for Mountain High III on Friday, July 31 at Mount Woodson
Golf Course…! We have three foursomes locked and loaded with the first tee
time at 0942. This hosted day for the Society consists of:
* The round of golf (no check-in required)
* A hearty breakfast (starting around 0830-0845 or whenever you can make
it)
* Drinks and snacks at the turn
* Lunch
* Note (1): The password to provide when you order is “SOGAGG.” Pretty
original don’t you think?
* Note (2): *** White shirts with red hat. ***
(Bring $15 for prize money and a couple of bucks for other games.
Just for fun, the 12 players are grouped in four flights based on handicap
indexes and will play from the Blue (2), White (6), Gold (2), or Red (1) tees.
All foursomes are playing the same game for honors and prize $, while each
foursome plays a different game to add a bit more revelry during the round.
Here’s the lineup:

Bounceback
Keep your eyes peeled for the four course proximity contests (Longest Putt on
3; Closest-to-the-pin on 6 & 16; and Longest Drive on 12).
The three foursomes will compete against each other for prize money. Each
player will contribute $15 to the pot, yielding a pot of $15x12= $180. The
pot will be awarded as:
* 1st $80 ($20 per player)
* 2nd $40 ($10 per player)
* 3rd $20 ($5 per player)
* Each of 4 proximity contest winners: $10.
With thanks to Rules and sHank: The competition for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place
will be the team game of “Best 2 of 4.” That is, the lowest 2 net scores
of each foursome’s 4 net scores will be recorded and summed for the team’s
score. Lowest team score wins.
In addition, each foursome will compete internally, each playing a different
game as follows: See the definitions below:
Team 1: Net Skins. $5 each player for the pot. (Usually, we don’t do
“net” skins, but it should work for one foursome.)
Team 2: Four Ball. $1 Front Nine, $1 Back Nine, & $1 18 holes for the
pot.
Team 3: Match Play. $1 Front Nine, $1 Back Nine, & $1 18 holes for the
pot.
Skins definition: Holes one through 16 are assigned one skin each. Holes 17
and 18 are assigned two skins each, for a total of 20 skins. Each player
contributes $5 for the pot.
Toss a coin to determine who tees off first. Each player tees off in turn,
and normal stroke play continues until each player holes out. The player with
the lowest score on the first hole wins the skin for that hole. If there is
no lowest player – because two or more of the golfers are tied for the
lowest score on the hole – the skin is rolled over to the next hole. Tee off
and play the next hole and continue through the remaining holes until the
round is finished. Keep track of who wins the skins for each hole as you
play. Total the number of skins. If the total number of skins won is less
than 20, conduct a closest-to-the-hole putting contest from about 40 feet.
The winner of the putting contest wins the remaining skins. Award each player
$1.00 from the pot for each skin won.
Four Ball Definition: So how does scorekeeping work in a four ball match?
We'll call our two teams White Team, consisting of Golfers A and B (partners);
and Green Team, consisting of Golfers C and D (partners).
On the first hole, all four golfers tee off, and all four golfers in the match
play their own golf balls until holed. The partners compare NET scores: Which
of them made the better score on the hole? If Golfer A scores net 4 and
Golfer B scores net 6 on the first hole, then White Team’s score on that
hole is 4. If Green Team gets a net 3 from Golfer C and a net 6 from Golfer
D, the Green Team's score is 3. And Green Team, in this example, has the
lowest score on the first hole, 3 to 4. Play continues and after 18 holes,
the team with the overall lowest score is the winning team. If the teams are
tied after 18 holes, the game ends with a tie.
Match Play Definition: So how does scorekeeping work in a match? We'll call
our two teams Green Team, consisting of Golfers A and C; and White Team,
consisting of Golfers B and D. Golfer A (Green Team) competes against Golfer
B (White Team) while Golfer C (Green Team) competes against Golfer D (White
Team).
On the first hole, all four golfers tee off, and all four golfers in the match
play their own golf balls until holed. The competitors compare NET scores:
Which of them made the better score on the hole? If Golfer A (Green Team)
scores net 4 and Golfer B (White Team) scores net 6 on the first hole, then
Green Team’s win is recorded as two points and White Team records zero
points. If Golfer A and Golfer B net scores are the same, each team records
one point. If Golfer B’s net score is less than Golfer A’s net score,
White Team records 2 points and Green Team records zero points. Golfers C and
D conduct a similar competition and scoring. Play continues and after 18
holes, the team with the greater number of points is the winning team. If the
teams are tied after 18 holes, the game ends with a tie.
Best to all,
/Ace
