by shooting very similar scores! Locally, these guys are called out.Originally posted by DominantDinosaur: ) everything in our game is made 100% by us :P to be completely honest i get tired of people messaging me about the two games and really it doesnt matter both have similarities but both provide fun gameplay and different environments if anything we need more mini golf games.Īnd competition is healthy, It would be bad for one team to hold a monopoly over a certain genre and i think with having other teams working on similar games we can bounce ideas of one another and also provide the community content that is worth the price plus more.īoth games are fairly cheap and good for the consumers. That's because he was a 4 handicap golfer! It is bad but it is made worse when you look at the other 19-23 handicap golfers who finished second, third, etc. A 20 handicap golfer will play 5 straight days like a 4 handicap golfer. The worst sandbaggers are at so-called national or world amatuer tournaments that allow players to use handicaps. However in golf, I've seen many sandbaggers just because money was on the line and I've seen many different ways of dealing w/ it to make it work out. I don't play tennis leagues so I can't say anymore about sandbagging. That's the way I see tennis as a game of honor. It's like the old style of thinking in golf where amatuers were thought to be the most noble players and professionals were thought to be the lowest part of society. If there is money on the line, cheating will come into play. I've only been asked to play tennis for money once. I'm sure my tennis game would probably look like crap against a player who has much more experience on clay. I've only played on clay a couple times in my life. When I told them I was a high school math teacher, they began to quiz me on what little math they could remember to test my story. I've also gone out of state to play in a member guest and been accused of being a pro. The next day I beat him 15.5-2.5 and he couldn't have been more apologetic. He was talking all kinds of stuff about me having a bad attitude and not really being that good. The first day at the away course I played pretty bad and split 9-9 against this guy. Each hole was worth a point and everyone played the entire 18. The two owners pitted their best 20 players against each other to see who had the better golfers on their course. It was a weekend "grudge match" pairing players from rival public golf courses against each other. I once played in a match against one of these players. I bet if we followed them around that we'd see they don't turn in those bad scores from the other courses. I don't really consider them true 8 handicappers. not necessarily having the stroke mechanics of a better player.QUOTE] The handicap includes a slope rating for a particular course that is supposed to account for this however, club players often times will have a lower handicap by really knowing the home course. Tennis is so much more difficult to be consistant because of that pesky guy on the other side hitting back at me.Įxcept that when I was coaching golf I found folks that were a 8 handicap on their home course but when they played somewhere else they were much worse. My tennis rating is made up because I've never played USTA and I play very competitively w/ 4.0 and 4.5 players sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. Both are made up numbers but I was once honestly rated a 2 handicap golfer. Is a 4.5 tennis player in Ohio as good as a 4.5 tennis player in California?īTW, I claim to be a 6 handicap golfer and a 4.0/4.5 tennis player. That is, a 5 handicap golfer in Ohio would be a 5 handicap golfer in California too. I would say that the golf handicap is a more valid number and should equate to an even playing field if calculated correctly all over the world. There are also those who say they are 15 handicap golfers who shoot 70 on game day and "just played their best ever!" There are many golfers who claim to be 5 or lower handicaps but shoot like an 85 on game day. The same term is used in both sports.SANDBAGGER! However, I wouldn't say the opposite happens when a player is boasting their playing ability. Both of your posts are right on the mark!
