Sounds familar... thats what shotah told me when i played in warren the first time... he said that he rather chip than putt in warren...

Lets put it this way, the greens in warren are just like what S70B would name them, "Potato Chip" greens which i feel is a very good way to describe it. My percentage of placing the ball near the pin is higher via chipping than putting. A 2 or 3 putt zone may end up with a 4 or 5 putts. Like what DGman said, some of the people taking part in the pro test really suffer and its was once again proven during last week amatuers. So to summarize, if the greens are running 12.8 like what it is during the amatuers, then I think it will be a big challenge for everyone... Anyway, its a day for enjoyment and if your flight mates are kind enough, they will just ask you to take within 4-5ft. If they ask you take, just take and don't be a hero. A miss may lead you with a 10ft putt in return.

WARRENT IS THE BEST LOVE THAT COURSE !!!! lOVE THE PUTTING!!!! I may not play well but the course is just fantastic n I really miss putting there

MC is this the double peoria system we playing?






Peoria:





Definition: The Peoria System is a sort of 1-day
handicapping system for tournaments in which most of the golfers do not have
real handicap indexes (company outings, for example).

The Peoria
System - while, like the similar Callaway System,
based in certain part on luck - allows a "handicap allowance" to be
determined and then applied to each golfer's score.

The tournament committee secretly selects six holes. These are usually two
par 3s, two par 4s and two par 5s, and often one of each type per nine (one par
3 on the front, the other on the back nine). Competitors do not know which
holes have been selected.

Groups tee off and complete their rounds, playing stroke play and scoring in
the normal fashion with one exception: double par is the maximum (i.e., 8 is
the maximum score on a par-4). Following completion of play, the six Peoria holes are
announced.

Each player totals his six secret holes. That total is multiplied by 3; par
is subtracted from that total; then the resulting number is multiplied by 80
percent. This is the player's allowance. The allowance is subtracted from the
player's gross score and the result is the net Peoria System score.

Example: On the six holes, Player A uses 30 strokes. 30x3=90. 90 minus
par-72 is 18. Eighty percent of 18 is 14 (round off). Fourteen is the
allowance. Player A's gross score is 90; 90 minus 14 results in a Peoria System
net score of 76.

Peoria is
sometimes called Bankers System or a Bankers Handicap.


Double Peoria:


Same as a Peoria. But instead of
six holes, you use twelve and instead of a multiplier of 3.00, you use 1.50.

12.8!!!! wow...last I played somewhere else, the green was 11 , I was already practising my 'french works' like nobodys business liao.

yes. Same one.

Plus stableford point system.

errr..... tht means the no. is bigger (slope rating?) means it's faster?

sorry, i am new..duno much abt this rating...

I am so eagerly looking forward to this!!! 12.8 hrmmm....

12.8 means very fast is it? normal usually 8 to 9 .

I might be go earlier since have to find the way there, hope can practise some putting.
Anyway see you All there.

wah 12.8 is warren, sounds like a singapore-augusta to me. never played there before to experience such fast greens...

dont even chip, if you can HIO then HIO. save chipping and planning the break for your chip. but wait if we get HIO, can do without the MT kiss can?

organizers: are gimmies allowed in this game?

What if it is a 2 foot downhill with severe break? I know definitely cannot give MC. Hahaha...

But then i heard he now improved his putting liao

This is essentially a stableford system. so ball can be picked up after double par is made.

gimmes can be given since we are so friendly but they must at least be in putter's length and offered by flight mates.

no self declaration.

so if i putt with my driver, i can use it as a guide? heehee

please bear in mind that if you have the highest possible day handica(36), you still have points even if you make a triple bogey. So do not give up.

but do pick up the ball when u are in the double par range.

need to speed up play.
