Old Timers Competition 2024

Has Randy tried to re register his name or create a new account?

[BradTheDad]

Hi Steve,

I'm not sure. Steve Holden has been in touch with him as well and Randy is receiving my messages but can't respond to them. Also, due to some system changes he has made, he lost the address of the forum. Steve has given that to him, but so far, still no indication that he has solved these issues.

I hope he gets it sorted soon, as I would love to have him back on the tour.

On that note, why don't you come and join us on the Old Timers Tour. There is absolutely no time pressure on playing your rounds and as we only use Handicap and Stableford scores, it doesn't matter whether you are good, bad or ugly at the game to be a chance of winning tournament by tournament events or the annual awards. Let me know if you are interested.

Cheers

Brad

Brad thanks for the offer, but I've been locked into PGA2000 since I bought the game in 2003 as I'm sure your locked into the Jack Nicklaus series and have no interest in switching to PGA2000.

[BradTheDad]

No worries, Steve.

Hi Guys,

as far as I am concerned, the 2024 season is finished. I have decided that, irrespective of the number of rounds played, all players should be eligible for the Champion Golfer of the Year awards, as all scores are pro-rated across the number of rounds played. So, on that basis, the Champion Golfers of the Year for Handicap and Stableford are as follows:



Unfortunately, Randy has had some serious computer issues of late, but I am hoping that he will be able to resolve them and rejoin the tour sooner rather than later.

Round 1 of our 2025 season has also been completed. The results are below:



Cheers

Hi Guys,

just an aside, I thought I'd show you how your handicaps progressed/regressed throughout the 2024 season. Three of you improved across the whole year, while Galen and I both lost a bit more form than others after we all had early peaks. Remember, the higher your handicap, the better you are playing. These handicaps are taken away from 18 to give you the number of holes you get shots on for the purposes of the Stableford events. So, when I was on 19.3, I was actually adding a shot to my score on the easiest hole.



Cheers

My 4th round at Riverdale. Very fun.

Juan, it's your turn to pick courses and conditions.

Thanks for continuing to put together the stats Brad. I think in the last two years I've played more JN6 over this tour and my various expeditions than I did over the previous 23 years.

I played a crapload of JNSE before getting JN6, so I may be about even between the two now.

Hi Guys,

just watched Juan's Rd 4 at Riverdale. After a tough start, he settled down and played some really good golf, tee to green. Unfortunately, his aim on and around the green was fractionally off, with at least five or six chips or putts shaving the hole and not going in. They have to start dropping soon, Juan.

Here are the results for Rd 2. They may need to be adjusted if Randy manages to join us for this tournament, now that he has most of his PC issues resolved.

Tarheel played a blinder, to leave us all in his wake. Well played Sir!



Cheers

Brad
