FRIDAY COURSE SCHEDULE

NOTE: We all know that in our lives there comes a time where things come to an end. That being said, this Friday, December 6 2024, will be my last day at managing Troopes Group.

I have been at the helm of this group for about five years and find that my time to end this adventure has arrived. I no longer have the desire to provide the time and effort required of this position and to continue would be an injustice to all golfers who have supported me and the group.

I know of no heir apparent to this position. If anyone would like to continue this golf journey please contact me and I will gladly transfer all pertinent materials and information to keep this group active.

I have enjoyed the comaraderie and friendship of every golfer that I've met and associated with in the past sixteen years that I've been associated with Troopes Group. God bless Walt Troope who started this group in 1991.

I thank all of you who have been supportive of my efforts and I consider all of you personal friends. I wish you all Godspeed in your golfing endeavors as well as throughout your life's journey.

THANK YOU ALL.

HANDICAP CORNER

LISTED BELOW ARE THE WEEKLY HANDICAP ADJUSTMENTS FOR ALL TROOPES GOLFERS:

_____________________________

WORLD HANDICAP SYSTEM (WHS)

Old System (25/113x108) =24 handicap

Joe's expected score = (65+24) = 89

New System (25/113x108)-(72-65) = 17 handicap

Joe's expected score = (72+17) = 89

NOTE: Joe's expected score does not change, only how it is figured. Also note that if Joe were tto play from tees rated 72, his handicaap would not change.

CONCLUSION:

To be clear, there are many changes involved in the WHS system. Some of those differences include the concept of Net Double Bogie, ESR, PVP, the playing handicap and more. The example above demonstrates just one of these changes, but a significant one to Troopes group participants based on the more forward tee that we typically play.

In the end, everyone should expect to see little change in their golf index, but a significant change in their handicap. For more detailed information go to

www.whs.com.

Essentially, that means that the golf ball may be rolled over the fairway as well as the "rough" not more than one club length (not closer to the hole). THE BALL MAY NOT BE PICKED UP AND DROPPED OR PLACED. USGA RULES WILL APPLY TO BALLS RESTING IN WET AREAS.

b. To clarify a rule that is often ignored, the following applies to ALL TroopeS Group golfers at all courses at all times:

ALL PUTTS MUST BE HOLED BY ALL GOLFERS ON ALL HOLES.

THIS IS A RULE THAT IS INTENDED TO MAINTAIN THE INTEGRITY OF THE GOLF GAME AND FAIRNESS TO ALL GOLFERS.
