Hoorah, I'm planning to play Wednesday.
However, thunderstorms predicted for every day of the next 7, so fingers crossed.

Win-Win for Seamus and I actually because if we lose it was obviously due to us not playing.
I hear that. 2iron and I had a particularly great 1st round.  Speaking of whom, his lady dropped the sprog, so he might not get out, so keep scores.  |

I played 9 Saturday, and I'm playing 18 tomorrow, and hopefully more before June 3. I plan on turning in my best 9 hole score (or best front 9 if 18 is played), I don't remember seeing anything in the rules that prohibits this am I correct? I'm going back over the rules Clive posted in round 1 now. |

I'm going back over the rules Clive posted in round 1 now. First nine played = scoring nine. Just to be clear. If I play 9 on Monday, and 18 on Tuesday, and 9 on Thursday, and 18 on Saturday. The GHRC scoring 9 is the first 9 I played on Monday, Si?. |

Sorry for my ambiguity. I meant that if you play a full round, I take the front nine. I did this to be fair to those who go out for nine holes only -- a lot of players get warmed up over that first nine and shoot better coming in, so I'm trying to have everyone use their "cold" first nine score. Obviously, what one cannot do is cherry-pick a nine-hole score out of a group of such scores. For example, you cannot play 9 on Monday, then decide to discard that nine (e.g. based on poor performance) and play 18 Tuesday. Or play 18 Tuesday and cherry-pick the better nine of that day. You decide before you tee it up whether that day's golf is Golfhos Ryder Cup golf, then play the first nine accordingly. Clear as mud now?   |

However, tornado forecast and my clubs are in the trunk of a friend's car and he's away on bidness. I have other clubs I can use though if the weather allows, it might only be 25-30 mph winds. |

Locked into the "I played like steaming dog *feces*" round? Not to look hypocritical, but ... I decided in advance that I wasn't going to mar a fun outing by trying to graft a competitive aspect onto my play that day. (Personally, golf had become so not-fun for me that I quit it last year, so I wasn't keen on doing anything that would spoil a "golf might be fun after all" day. Baby steps, and all that.) |

So if I play with the grumpy old men in Tuesday at a course I don't play particularly well, I have to use that round as opposed to deciding that my front on the 27th or 28th would be a better deal? I can live with that, but I'm not sure Capt. Foreskin can... |

I got stood up and didn't play today, Hefner seems to be the course for that.... Thursday, fingers crossed. |

I can live with that, but I'm not sure Capt. Foreskin can... You said to me that day that "you didn't want this to be your GHRC round", and I think I told you something in error not fully understanding Clive's post until we returned from golf and I had a chance to read his latest. If you ask me, if you decide on the 27th or 28th that one of those rounds is your GHRC round I think you are allowed. Per Clive: You decide before you tee it up whether that day's golf is Golfhos Ryder Cup golf, then play the first nine accordingly. |

Perhaps it's these Internets and the fact that we're separated and can't see/hear one another, but this can't be as complicated as it's turning out.
When they arrive at the first tee, Ryder Cuppers know whether they're playing their match or just practicing. The tipoff usually is the presence of an opponent.
You arrive at the first tee. You don your special Golfhos spectacles and look around. If your Virtual Opponent is on that first tee with you, it's your GHRC round! If s/he isn't there, then it's not your GHRC round.
