It's time to say farewell to the Duffers for 2024. Another great year for sure. And a BIG THANKS to Duffers Gahan and Pier who helped us say goodbye by celebrating their birthdays at Arrowood last week.
Our final week (next two weeks are off weeks due to Christmas and New Year's) is an odd situation. We have 10 Duffers on the grid but only two foursomes booked. Jeff has been working his magic at Talega and he's been assured we're good for all 10, but we won't know the exact configuration until we get to the course. SO, EVERYONE NEEDS TO BE AT THE COURSE BEFORE 9:00, CHECKED IN, AND PAIRED UP WITH SOMEONE ELSE. Once we find out how the course wants us to tee off, we'll just wing it and head on out.
Here's this week's groups/time:
**9:09** & **9:18**
Barkovitz 14
Beaupre 17/24
Brienen 2-3=-1/7-3=4
Connor 20
Derman 18
Gahan 20
Pier 8/13
Wolcher 7/12
Delabar 16/22
The first person in each group is responsible for (1) keeping theirgroup on a 4-hour/round pace, (2) reminding everyone to help fellow Duffers find lost balls, navigate bunkers and difficult terrain (often requires violation of cart path only rules), and (3) collecting for the 19th hole.
A reminder to all Duffers . . . Starting times are made/confirmed with each of the courses one week in advance. Pairings and specific tee times are usually made several days in advance. Whenever possible, a minimum of eight days notice of your intent to play or not is helpful to our scheduling effort. Of course things come up on short notice that require dropouts and no one should feel any obligation to play. The greater amount of notice you can give allows us to notify the course(s) so that they can fill cancelled spots, also minimizes multiple late changes to the Duffers grid and website, and avoids possible penalties levied by the courses.
