Just wondering, the talk of challenges got me wondering who the best
players are out there? Any scratch or better players posting
regularly on here? Which players are legitimate single-digit players?

Now I have this vague recollection that many years ago we had a pro
posting here - who was on the 2nd tier tour had may have eventually
made it onto the PGA tour. I thought it may have been O'Hair but a
google search shows no RSG posting by that name.
Does that ring a bell with any of you old timers, or am I imagining
it?

THere was a guy years ago whose nick was "Threejake." Claimed to be a
pro. He said some stuff about trajectory and spin that made a lot of sense.

I know what you mean. I've hardly put stellar rounds together. I had
Bill-O 5 down with 6 to go and tied him. Newell mentioned I beat him
on his home course. Truth is, he beat himself. I was awful...he was
awfuller. Rider beat me the last time I played him...after I took a
lesson. It goes on and on. That's golf.....er RSG golf.

It aint me. And I have a history of playing even worse in RSG events
than
I normally do. There's golf, then there's club tournament golf, and
then
there's RSG tournament golf. It's a whole different level of pressure.

When you say sandbaggers don't report their high rounds what do you

They did pull the system for a while after the initial launch. However
it eventually went back online with some small modifications. As it
stands you stilll can do as you said and find anyone by name and see
when and where they played, and their card.

This describes me as well. I'm a legit single digit in that my index
is < 10, usually in the 8s and 9s. I can get hot and play well; not
very consistently but often enough to keep my handicap down. I think
there are probably two categories of single digit players: decent
players like me in the 5-9 range, and those with an index < 5 who can
really play.

Question for you guys: Are your scores a matter of public record?
In New Zealand, the NZGA run a website and centrally process all
handicap cards as entered by the clubs' handicappers. You can search
any player, verify their handicap and the cards they have entered. The
idea is to prevent 'sandbaggers' who don't submit their high rounds.
It's all at golf co.nz under the 'Search' tab.
Is this done in the US and other countries?
Cheers,
JohnO

Yes, you can look the handicaps for members of most State Golf
Associations in the US.

Usually.
The majority of clubs here use GHIN (http://www.ghin.com) and you can
search through the scores if you know the person's last name and the
state they live in.
There are a number of different handicapping organizations that are
state specific but I can't comment if those are publicly available.

Australia has a national system at www.golflink.com.au.
However due to "privacy considerations" the system does not allow
searching on names, only numbers. So if you don't know a person's
GolfLink number, there is no way to find them. No name is ever
displayed, whereas the NZ system even allows a full searchable listing
of each club's members. (I thought you guys got into trouble a while
back when someone's employer looked them up and worked out they were
playing golf when they were supposed to be sick in bed?)
If you click on a competition in your Australian GolfLink record, you
can see all the scores for that competition and your placing within it,
but only if you have registered with a password.
Currently about half the clubs in Australia are on the GolfLink system,
the rest still do manual handicapping.

Just wondering, the talk of challenges got me wondering who the best
players are out there? Any scratch or better players posting
regularly on here? Which players are legitimate single-digit players?
My last card was single (9.8) but that is nowhere good enough to play with
Sparky, Anni, R&B (when playing more than 2 times a year). Last time I
played with Bill-O, he was moving down in a rapid descent. Playing with
Sparky is like playing with 155mm cannons. It is scary. Playing with Anni
is like playing with snakes thinking they have been milked and finding out
one slipped through the process. On a tight hazard lined course, I would
favor Annika1980 60% of the time. On a wide open course, Sparky maybe 70%
of the time.

That doesn't make you the best. That just makes you Average, by RSG
standards.
As for me, the late Gene Sarazen once said, "All men are created
equal, but I'm 1 shot better than the rest." I can't say I disagree
with that.

I'm a legit single handicap, though, there are many, many rounds where
I do not feel like it. I suspect that when you say "legit" you mean
that the vast majority of their scores are in the 70's. I'm one of
those single h-cappers who is frankly pretty stoked anytime I'm in the
70's after the round. Rude Dog is another RSG'r who definately has
single-digit game.
Here's the difference: I played Tex the day after RSG SoCal in match
play, and, I definately had my game going that day. Prolly shot 80 on
an unfamiliar (to us both) and very difficult course (72.7 / 132,
IIRC), and, he beat me 4 & 3. I played great. He simply played
better.

If she's scared of me she's never shown it. In fact, the second time
I went to watch her she actually came up to ME and offered a
handshake.
I've watched a lot of pros, but I've never had that happen.
Last time I checked she still had one of the pics I took up on her
website.
Hey, it's the least she could do. I mean, after all the hours I've
spent holding up her calendar with one hand.
Here's one of my favorite shots that she was kind enough to pose for.
http://www.pbase.com/bret/image/28417165
And that was after she had just teed off. Try getting Tiger to pose
for ya while playing and see how that works out.
My point is that while I do have some personal opinions of how Natalie
career has been handled (or mis-handled), she has never been anything
but super-classy to me. I hope she finally gets a win this year.

Of players I know are single digit are Brad Greer (posts as GLFNAZ),
Bret Douglas (Annika1980), Ken Pitts, Sparky, David Sneddon, Doug
Siebert, k Koenig (Tex), and me.
Of the above, it's hard to say who's best--Tex is pretty good, so is Ken
Pitts, Bret Douglas, and David Sneddon. Brad Greer is sneaky good.
Bret is a very good golfer, but not long, so if you played a long course
he'd probably struggle to keep up with Pitts and Sneddon.
Of the above, I'm probably the worst. My current handicap is 7.5.
Among those I know who have been, but don't know if their current
handicaps are single digits are Chris Bellomy, Colin Wilson, Bill-O, and
there are a few others I'm sure I'm missing. I seem to recall that
Chris Bellomy had a par or lower round within the last year.

At the moment I couldn't hit a barn door with a shovel. I'd probably

I think when he wants to be, Annika is best.
Legit low-'cappers would include Sparky, Pitts, Dalecki, Sneddon,

I'm the best. I always shoot par or better, am always hitting par 5s in
two, hit average drives of 375, can hit a 6 iron 220, routinely make 30
foot snakes and walk and carry my own bag as well as the others in my
foursome. And I tip generously, take lessons from my pro, make my own
equipment, never post OT and and humble besides. See? Told you I was the

I would agree with that. I haven't seen Sparky play in a while.

I shoot somewhere between the high 80's and high 90's consistantly at my
local course; but I have been playing for only about a year. I hope to get
a little better and get into the mid to high 80's and not have that many
rounds that approach 100.

I shot a 5 over par on my last round. I would have done better but on
the 17th hole my timing was way off and the ball hit the Windmill ;)

Of the regulars, Annika is the only legit single digit handicapper,
IMHO. Ken Pitts is also, as is Bruce Newman and a few others....Sweet
Baby James.... but they post rarely to never. IMHO, Bruce is the best

I forget his first name, but if Jakobowski isn't a single digit handicapper,
I'm a bad adder. He shot 71 at Anthem in Vegas, the second time he played
it. Is it David ... oh well.

A "gimme" can best be defined as an agreement between
two golfers neither of whom can putt very well.

I was probably never as good as Bruce was when he was in his prime. Of
course, that was 30 years ago. Even Bruce will admit that his current
game is not like it was then. Similarly, my game has gone downhill
fast.
Two years ago, I'd have beaten Bruce. He disagrees, but trust me ...
I'd have waxed his ass. Nowadays, I might not be able to beat
anybody. Or at least anybody named "Sparky."
I have enjoyed watching Sparky improve in the short time he's been
playing. He inspires me to want to practice and get good again just
to hang with him. And brother Bill-o has gotten better as well. When I
play with them these days I feel that I'm the weakest link.
At least until the bets are made. :)

I disagree with you, as well. From the scores that I have read you
posting during the RSG events, and the length and difficulty of the
courses that they are normally played on, Bruce would probably have
taken you.
The round that I got to play with Bruce was 8 years ago on a
difficult track and around the 7000 yard k. Neither one of us
played our best golf, yet I could see that Bruce had a lot of game. I
was very pleasantly surprised, as he was of my game. It was a great
day of golf, which is something that I have rarely experienced with
people whom I do not know.

The strongest part of your game is your intelligence. You could probably
find a way to shoot 70 in almost any event. Sparky is definately an
inspiration, and he has some good advice on how to play the game as well. A
lesson with him would be money well spent. I've never been able to handle
billo, maybe I should try borther bill!

I have had the extreme pleasure of playing with Bruce Newman and the
man can play. His iron play is some of the best that I have ever
witnessed live--except for a couple of euro-tour pros that I played
with some years back.
FWIW, I do have a legit single digit. The lowest I was at was 4.1HI.
I have not been able to play the last 2 1/2 years-except for a trip to
Florida last year, where I played 4 rounds of golf. The last round I
played, I shot 4 over par.
The round that I played with Bruce was a long time ago, and if I had
not hit three balls OB and paid attention to the scorecard--the
distances are to the front of the green, I am such a moron--I would
not have been in so many bunkers in front of the green.
The course is in Frankfurt, Germany. It used to host the German
Open and is a nice track to test your abilities on. Bruce was a bit
off on that day and shot 78, or 79. I would have had the same score,
but for the three OB's. It was also the first round that I got to
play after having been "forced" to take a layoff of about 2 years, so
I was not very disappointed.
One day, I will make to to an RSG event, just don't know when :-)

Bad form to answer my own post, but I wanted to point out that my HI
is based on tournament play only. In Germany, only tournament rounds
count toward your HI once you are under an 18HI.
When I started out here, they put me in at a 10, since I had played
virutally no golf--except for the round with Bruce--in around three
years. I got it down to a 6.1 when the season had come to and end. I
was palying to about a 2 for the months of Aug and Sep, when I won 7
out of 11 tournaments that I entered. The last tournament round of
that year, I shot +2, which was the lowest round recorded that year by
an amateur.

I hope you can get over here sometime. If you come this way any time we can
try to organize a special event maybe in Atlanta or Dallas or New Orleans.
Bruce and Bret with one t would be a good match then. Brett, whoops, Bret, is
a very good ball striker and a very st player. I don't know if he is
really great at any one aspect of the game, but solid at just about
everything.

I have a huge itch to play an RSG event. I will be in Florida for
three weeks, from the 15th of August to the 5th of September.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to travel too far :-( My parents
are celebrating their 50th anniversary this year and my dad will be
turning 80 this June (He still plays at least three days a week). I
will be flying in with at least one of my daughters and a family
reunion is planned that will take up at least 1 week of the three that
I will be there.
FWIW, my last official HI was a 7.1. I was fighting my swing for
two years after developing a case of the sh***ks and losing all
confidence. It was still fun whipping on the people at the club who
began talking about my game behind my back. Even with the disaster
that my swing had become, I finished fourth in the club
championship--should have finished third but hit a wrong ball in the
second round that cost me two strokes and I finished one stroke behind
the third place finisher. I basically bunted the ball down the
fairway for three rounds and let my short game take care of the rest.
To win, I would have had to have everything working well.
At any rate, one of these day, I will play an RSG event with a
skeletion of the game that I had up to five years ago. I am sure it
would be fun to match the faces to the names :-)

<<snippage >>
That, for me, is the best part of the events. It's pretty rare to
play well in them. I've been to 15+ of them and only played well in
three. I shot a personal best at mine in 2003(?) and won, finished
third at NW last year (would have won except for that bastard Adrian
Cole), and second at OH in 1997(?) where I five putted and lost by 1.
But putting the face on the name of Stemmer, or Golfin' Don, or Rick
Dement, or that freak Annika, or Rock Pile -- that makes it
worthwhile.
