For the captains

Strengths, weaknesses and where to play him. Golf numbers are from his cards; everything else is hearsay from the organiser.

Captains' notes · strengths & weaknesses
Strengths
  • No card logged since January 2022. He could have had 4 years of lessons. Nobody can prove he hasn't.
  • Nobody on the other team has seen him play in years. Total tactical surprise.
  • Met his wife on a previous golf trip. For a man who made 1 birdie in 324 holes, he clearly knows how to find the hole when it really counts.
Weaknesses
  • When last sighted: 69% of holes double bogey or worse and 1 birdie in 324 holes.
  • His handicap is older than some of the golf balls he'll lose.

How to use him: Fourball only, next to someone reliable, until he proves otherwise on the first tee. If he turns up with a new swing, promote him. And keep an eye on him in the bar: his record on these trips is better than his golf.

Scorecards

Every round VPAR has for Jack Mason, oldest rounds feeding the newest: each round's handicap comes from the rounds before it.

Reading a card. Shots are the strokes received on that hole from the course handicap at the time. Max = par + 2 + shots (Net 2). A score over its max is struck through and counts as the max in Adjusted; P is a pickup, which also counts as the max. Birdies are circled. Differential = (adjusted − course rating) × 113 ÷ slope. All the rules we followed →
Every round18 cards, newest first — every round on record.
