Good Friends Golf

Opening Day is just weeks away - can't wait to see everyone again. We've planned a number of new twists to our weekly routine. Watch for more information to follow.

As always, we'd ask each of you to consider hosting a GFG event. The signups are open for the entire season. Many of the dates are already full, but there are still plenty of prime dates open. Sure it's a bit of work, but it's also a lot of fun. You can visit the updated How To Host page for some tips and ideas, or come up with your own unique rules for the day. As a peer-led organization we all benefit when more people are involved in planning and leading our events.

Looking forward to another season of Good Friends Golf, starting April 20th at Kaufman GC.

We’re upgrading our old computer program! 

Using the “Randomizer” to pick the teams each week is out – too many duplications of pairings. Crazy. What are the odds that you’d end up playing with the same person for two or three weeks in a row? 

Bob Wassick has developed a new team generation system that promises to minimize this problem. No, it doesn’t use Artificial Intelligence (maybe next year), it’s just some very slick Excel macro programming to minimize the duplication of parings. He has tested the system using the signups from this past year and it looks good. It should be many weeks into the season before you find yourself with previous playing partners. 

There will always be some circumstances that can short circuit the system, like when a last minute signup is added to an existing threesome, but we’re certain you’ll enjoy this big improvement this coming season.
