Icrontic LAN'08 Golf Scramble

So RyderOCZ and I were talking about having a golf event during the next Lan. Then I mentioned it to the_technocrat and we're all for it. So...without further delay I would like to announce:

ICRONTIC LAN'08 FIRST ANNUAL GOLFING EVENT!

What we would like to do is find out who would like to go play golf one morning during the LAN. This would be at a local course near IcronticHQ and would be in the morning hours like either on Friday or Saturday as to not interfere with the gaming events.

So if anyone is interested please post in this thread. As I am just trying to get a general idea if there would be an interest, so we can arrange a tee time(s) etc. More info will be posted as it gets closer to LAN'08.

    We haven't decided the type of play yet. Depends on the amount of people that will play if we do a Scramble, Shamble, or Team vs Team etc.

    I shoot anywhere from 80-95, I have no consistancy. I'd say my avg is around 88/89

    Well if we could get at least 6 people I think I scramble (I am assuming you mean best ball?) would be fun. Individual score would matter as much and those are always fun. Plus they usually go by quicker.

    I haven't played in a couple of months but back when I was playing I was shooting ~90. I'll make sure and brush off the rust before the LAN :D

    If you fly just check your clubs on the plane. I saw a hard case bag for clubs at Academy on sale for ~35 bucks. Perfect for shipping or checking your clubs.

    cheers

    Note: No way is Icrontic paying to ship forgotten clubs! ;D

    If it is Friday I bet that I can make it. This has to be business related some how.....

    Haha...well see

    Yea I would love to get 6/8 people to participate in this event so we could do a 3vs3/4vs4 scramble with the teams being picked out of a hat.

    I'll play if we get up early to do it, and I have my own clubs, but I can't promise to contribute to my team in any real way. :/

    Excellent!

    Yes I plan to have a tee time in the morning. A normal round takes about 4 hours. I'm pretty sure the game events were like 2pm and later, so we should be back to IcronticHQ just about the time everyone wakes up ;)

    This does not mean we have filled the teams. If more want to play please post here. We can easily have 3 tee times, since most tee times are 8-10mins apart.

    honestly, in a scramble chipping and putting are the best way to help your team. Lord knows I need to practice them. Driving 280 yds is the easy part.

    the 85-120 yd shots are quite important too.

    as is being able to direct the 280 towards the greed.

    I wish I knew how to play golf. I hate missing out. This is why I play in gaming events even though I'm an overall drain on the team :-D

    Have fun oh green-seeking ones!

    I consider anything under 100yds a chip shot, either 54, 56 or 60 degree wedge. On a good day I hit my pitching wedge 115-125yds. Sometimes I prefer flop shots, but they are very hard to control on hard greens. Bump-n-run chips work well then.

    AND OF COURSE ALCOHOL WILL BE INVOLVED COMON JARED :beer:

    Driving the cart is what makes most golf trips worthwhile. I strongly recommend it, particularly if your insults are carrying further than most of the shots are.

    um, This golf event is during the IC LAN.

    If you are NOT at the IC LAN, there is no other event going on! (and why would you not be at the LAN?)

    So, hop in the car with DogDragon and go to the LAN ;)

    Detroit is nice in June.
