Accuracy

[golfallyear]

Sorry about the time...if you let me know next time I can set a time for earlier where you can play. It is hard to find a time where everyone is available. Hope you can make it this week.

I have one question golfallyear. It took me a while to find the %distnace in the club settings. Is there a reason why distance is 88%?

[Chuck]

I appoligize for the no-show Sat. I was hoping to make it but my wife had better ideas for me and a trip to a resturaunt for dinner won out. (Sat at 8:00pm is not the best time slot for me). I'll see if I can get a score to you in the next few days.

CB...what happened?? Didn't see you playing tonight. If you did play, send me your score so I can post it.

Hey Chuck, I just signed my son up for The First Tee on Saturdays from 3pm to 4pm PST. Going to need to move our tee time for the league back to 5pm PST (8pm EDT). Hope that is ok. Sorry but family first lol.

[golfallyear]

That would be great...what other forum?

If you guys want to get a few more Optishot golfers involved, check over in the other forum. I'm sure there are a few of those guys that would like to join in.

Great fun. Enjoyed the first game. I sunk two in the water on one hole which killed my game. Add in a couple of 1-2" missed putts. Without those, I would have had a decent score.

Score for Tournament #1 is posted on Golfallyear.com.

Round set up for today (Saturday)...ready anytime you are.

[golfallyear]

Check out the League page on Golfallyear.com. It is in the top menu under "Optishot League". Let me know what you think and if i need to add anything.

[golfallyear]

Great...see you then. Hopefully we can get more players.

A good set of Rules. Anything to achieve a realist game is OK with me. I'll see you at 7 pm EDT tomorrow on Palm Desert (mountain). My handle will be 'CB'. Should be fun. See you then,

[golfallyear]

Lets plan on say 7pm EDT on Saturday (this gives me time to watch my kids play sports on Saturday). All the courses are from the 15 that come with Optishot (I created them before I joined the Mini Tour). How about a setting of 5 foot gimme putts. Do we want to use Handicap?

I found this on the forum for Optishot Tournment settings. Do we want to use these settings?
Ball Settings

1. Players MUST set the ball type to the actual ball they are physically hitting. Players are to hit either a Real ball or Foam ball if their setup allows, due to unreliable data from the No Ball setting.

Clubset Settings

1. Players Driver settings MUST be set the to following, dependant on the ball and turf type they are using.

a. Real Ball, Stock Turf - 100% Speed, 88% Distance.............

b. Real Ball, Thick Turf - 100% Speed 88% Distance...............

c. Foam Ball, Stock Turf - 93% Speed, 88% Distance.............

d. Foam Ball, Thick Turf - 100% Speed, 88% Distance... Note May need to tee lower to get accurate swing speed.

e. No Ball Setting - 100% Speed 88% Distance ......................

2. Players MUST set the Loft and Offset Setting of all clubs to the loft of the club they are physically hitting

3. If using a 3 wood instead of Driver due to Height Restrictions Use Identical settings to those you would normally use as per your ball and turf setup above.

4. 3 wood and 5 wood MUST NOT exceed Speed 100% Distance 100% . Players can always adjust lower.

5. Players Irons MUST be set to achieve real world distances and both Speed% and Distance % settings may be altered up or down to achieve the correct distances.

6. Players may set the Putter Speed % Setting between 80% and 100% to reflect there real life Putting stroke. The Distance % MUST remain at 100% When Putting, players MUST hit either a real or foam ball, unless using the No Ball Setting for the whole round.

7. Players MUST NOT carry out any adjustments to any Clubset Settings during a round.

Looks good. I like your selection of courses. Since the timezone is going to be at minimum a 5-hour spread, and more for some, if we avoid the intersect with work hours and figure about 2hrs/match, how about 5 pm/EDT on Sat or Sun for tee-off? Also, I think we would need to change course for the first three; I don't recognize them as standard courses (correct me if I'm wrong).
