2009 Schedule

The Bda Tour 09 takes its band of merry hackers to Scottsdale, Arizona for the second time.

Here's the play schedule for the 2009 tour. Last year, the slope rating for the tees we played averaged 131 / 6,476 yds. This year we will all play the same tees and the slope / yardage will average 130 / 6,350 yds. Let me know if anyone thinks single digit handicappers should play from different tees.

Everyone is expected to be arriving on Friday, Oct 30th, and we're off on Rancho Manana on Saturday at 9:33 & 9:41am. Sleep well girls!

Wade "Great Guy" Jerrett

Brett describes Wade as a Sandbagger and favourite to win the Wobbly Fat Man trophy. That's a pretty serious claim considering Brett is the Sultan of Sandbagging. I've been trying to dig up some dirt on Wade and although I've spoken to several people who know him, they have all told me what a great guy he is. I'm still a little suspicious of these claims, especially since everyone I've spoken to was a Mid-Oceanite, like Wade. It makes me nauseous to think how the upper classes are always looking out for each other, Urgh, there we go again, I just vomited on my pants. In 2007, a nasty sudden illness tied to the consumption of alcohol brought Wade to his knees. Everyone on tour learned that Wade is a very reserved guy but when he does let loose... LOOK OUT! Maybe he will let loose on his golf game after finishing 8th in his first (hopefully not last) tour.

Tour Attendance: 2007 (8th)

Polls

The winner of the 2009 BDA Tour will be

	GAY!!! (aka Nick)
	a sandbagging bastard (Brett)
	have no elbows (Rich)
	an ugly fat man (Jamie not Nick)
	finally able to beat Brett
	pleasantly intoxicated (Andrew or Shane)

Brett ‘Tiger’ Marshall will "four-peat"....

	because he is the best sandbagging bastard out there
	unless Mike Jones actually grows some balls and shows up
	unless Jamie gets as lucky at golf as he is at poker
	unless the group forces him to carry an honest handicap
	unless the guilt gets to him and he corrects his handicap

Shane may not show up because...

	he is planning his life as a new dad... good luck with that!
	his wife owns him
	his balls have shrunk to the size of raisins
	he realizes his first win was God helping the retards
	he isn't sober enough to find the airport

Tour Rules

Strokeplay Tournament Rules

The main tournament is a strokeplay tournament over 7 rounds. The scoring format will be a stableford format which is then converted to a net score. Stableford format is based on 0 points for net double bogey or worse, 1 point for net bogey, 2 for net par, 3 for net birdie and soon. The reason we use stableford is so that anyone failing to finish ahole will get 0 points on that hole rather than being DQed as in medal play. In order to convert the stableford score to a format similar to the scoring format used on the PGA tour we will take the player's stableford score away from a base 36 (ie 18 net pars). Therefore someone scoring 42 points will have scored -6, someone scoring 30 will be +6 and someone scoring 36 will be even par. The winner will be the player with the lowest score after taking the best 6 scores from the 7 rounds played. If there is a tie, then the winner will be the player with best score from the discarded round. If the scores are still tied then the score of the final round will be used (regardless of whether it was a discarded round), if still tied then use round 6 and so on down the rounds. The winner of the strokeplay tournament gets to keep the BDA Strokeplay Plate for 1 year and also receives the coveted Wobbly Fat Man Trophy which he gets to keep.
