How does a 968 rated PRO player who just won Wednesday doubles at Morley get only 2 alternate holes assessed while a 928 rated INT player gets 4 alternate holes assessed at the Friday Morley doubles? Not a great way to start the doubles season at Morley.
The doubles fiasco is very simple to fix.
1. “A” players who are PRO throw 4 of the same holes alternate.
2. Eliminate the 3 birdies in a row rule.
Now can we play real doubles?
I’m only a Friday doubles level B, but I think both of those ideas sound great, especially the part where the alternate holes are the same holes, not just the ones they happen to start on.
The 3 birdie rule is unique; I love it and hate it, great.
An idea that was brought up during the last doubles was a double ace; can we chage the rules so they say when two players on a team both throw an ace, on the same hole, they record a zero for stokes on that hole since they are way too cool.
I don’t know if that has happened, but it sounds like something that is worth rewarding.
I noticed that the June 2011 Monthly is scheduled for a Friday, 6/10/11. Is it really happening on Saturday 6/11/11? Does anyone have any advice on how I can place for my first time? Any random comments welcome.

I just called and confirmed that the monthly is actually on Saturday 6/11/2011, the post here is wrong. Also, to answer a question above, the course is not closed during monthly tournaments. The course only closes a few times a year for the big tournaments (Spring Fling, Course Championship, Team Championship).
Just noticed the Course Championship is the same weekend as the Shark Tooth PDGA sanctioned event up in Bakersfield on Nov. 12-13. Guess I won’t be playing the CC this year.

My buddies and I are coming down from Vegas 6/11. I see a tourney 6/10. Does that mean the course is closed to outside players?

How do you sign up for the course championships? I couldn’t even find a link to the schedule on the main page here.
