ok guys, Now that the first tournament is over I have some house cleaning to take care of before we start training for the second tourney. Plus, we are getting 2 new golfers for the tour...

Don Jailey and Chucky Dawson

and I need to make sure I get them completely configured. We'll pick this up next week...

[Young Drachma]

Unfortunate to fall, but I'll take the cash.

[chesapeake]

I'm pleased with the tie for third, but a little disappointed that a moribund 3rd round left me too far off the lead to truly compete. Thanks for starting this up, Breeze.

[vex]

(Will Brown)


By round:

+1 (It could be worse)
-3 (Good)
+3 (WTF, it got worse)
-3 (Good, but too late)

Beachfront Pro-Am - Training

It is time to submit your training schedule for week 2. As usually you can submit in the thread or you can PM me.

One note on training - if you miss the cut you may play a total of 4 rounds between practice rounds and gambling rather than the usual limitation of 3 rounds.

The following golfers have elected to take Week 2 off:

Des Courtney

John Puller
Tommy Phan
Jason Bly

If you'd like to take the second week off just let me know.

We also have two additional FOFC golfers:

Don Jaily
Chucky Dawson

Financials

No one is in bad shape with financials at this point, and the money leaders should be obvious so I'm not planning to distribute financial information at this time.

training update

appears we are only waiting on

Ches O'Peake
Brian Babson
Saku Koekela

I could be wrong about this from either side (more of you haven't submitted, or 1 of these 3 did and I overlooked it). Sorry, a bit scattered today - had a scan this afternoon.

If I have something wrong just let me know. When I have these 3 I'll run training, and I should have the course description out no later than tomorrow morning.

[Breeze]

Beach Front Pro-Am - Course Overview

1. Par 5 : 577 Yards - Normal Difficulty

Long par 5 that most attempt to reach it two due to open layout, but tricky slopes and lies can really stress a short game to get up and down for birdie. OB can come into play if the player gets loose with the driver.

2. Par 4 : 489 Yards - Normal Difficulty

A long drive here sets up the hole nicely for birdie opportunities. However golfers need to be good with their irons because a bad approach can find a very deep bunker in front that has caused problems for many golfers through the years.

3. Par 3 : 235 Yards - Hard Hole

Long par 3 that requires a good long iron shot to get birdie. A bunker looms on the right, and the green has some major undulations which are difficult to read.

4. Par 4 : 444 Yards - Easy Hole

Players need to be smart on this hole. It can be easy but it is deceptive as well – a bad line or poor strategy can easily cost a stroke. Pin placement makes a big difference on this hole. Some areas are very difficult to get close to while others are pretty flat and straight, meaning a putter can always save you here.

5. Par 5 : 571 Yards - Normal Difficulty

Par 5 that has many different opportunities, but be wise in how you attack, loose drives can find trees very easily which will leave a player scrambling.

6. Par 4 : 455 Yards - Normal Difficulty

Wide landing area for the drive means this hole typically comes down to the short iron approach.

7. Par 3 : 212 Yards - Normal Difficulty

Tough green with lots of subtle breaks – to get birdie you must be confident in your putting stroke. Sand can grab poorly executed tee balls and with the tough green it can easily lead to bogey.

8. Par 4 : 429 Yards - Easy Hole

Long drives help here, but the approach is key. Green is tough so putting skills are stressed. Lose focus here even for just 1 shot and you’re likely staring at bogey.

9. Par 4 : 466 Yards - Hard Hole

Small green is tough to hit, so short game will certainly be a factor on this hole, and lies can get so tricky that creativity is often necessary to keep the ball close to the hole.

10. Par 4 : 478 Yards - Hard Hole

Very difficult hole to birdie, long par 4 with a small target green that slopes off back and left. Hard to keep the ball on the green and short game gets a workout here.

11. Par 4 : 459 Yards - Normal Difficulty

If drive is in a good spot, attack the green with a short iron and birdie is possible. But poor course management might force a player to scramble out of trouble as there are trees and bushes all long the right side and mounds down the left that make golfers play from some seriously uneven lies.

12. Par 3 : 199 Yards - Easy Hole

A par three that seems to feed every short towards the hole as long as the player hits the green. Consistency and focus can be key here, and even though the ball feeds to the hole, players still have to make the putt, and the breaks are very subtle on this green.

13. Par 4 : 469 Yards - Normal Difficulty

Style of play is very important on this hole – aggressive play can lead to birdies, but get too aggressive and you are staring at bogey.

14. Par 5 : 570 Yards - Normal Difficulty

This par 5 basically requires solid shots throughout the hole to get birdie. Nothing fancy is needed, but play the hole smart or you’ll find yourself dropping at least 1 stroke to the field and probably 2 strokes from the leaders.

15. Par 3 : 162 Yards - Normal Difficulty

Good putting is the biggest key on this hole. Players must have confidence in their line to stroke the putt firm enough to keep the line, and they need to be able to make the clutch shot.

16. Par 4 : 450 Yards - Easy Hole

A pretty easy hole, with just a few bunkers protecting the green. This makes putting once again the primary focus. While the hole is easy, the bunkers are not, so avoid them at all costs.

17. Par 5 : 554 Yards - Normal Difficulty

A number of ways to attack this hole. It can be reached in two with a great long iron play, or the third shot can be a 9 iron in allowing golfers to take dead aim. But a bad drive can find the trees and force players to scramble.

18. Par 4 : 471 Yards - Normal Difficulty

A good drive can set up birdie here, but confidence will be required because the fairway is tight. A huge fairway bunker with a high lip down the left is death to all but the best sand players in the game, and protecting against going into the bunker has found numerous players in the trees right forced to scramble to try and save par.

Screw it, I'm going big or going home, literally. Aggressive all around. All out.

Forgot to mention, these instructions are for Mike Schaplowsky.

[AnalBumCover]

Wow. 5 straight birdies on the back 9.

Can you give me a quick commentary on those holes? 13 through 17. If it's too much work, don't worry about it.

Jimmy Fujita's style of play will remain the same for round 2

13 - Aggressive play sets up birdie
14 - solid play from tee to hole leads to birdie
15 - confident birdie
16 - 11 foot birdie putt drops
17 - long iron reaches front edge in two, up and down for birdie

[ntndeacon]

Same instructions for Palmer except for hole 15. Normal on that one.

[DavidCorperial]

Same instructions as last round.

[JonInMiddleGA]
