Re: Next years old Farts v Whippersnappers deposit needed (yes already!!).......
I still think there is a place for a long drive comp.
I'd say realistically in my society there's at most 3/4 ouot of the 20 of us that can win it if we all get on away. That being said, you've gotta hit the short stuff and invariably most of our shorted hitters do so. This year in 13 rounds of golf we've had 9 diffefretn winners. The trick is to not let the big hitters all go together so they don't get to see exactly how well the "competition" is hitting it. Therefor they all have a go and can be a little wild off the tee.
We also do nearest the pin in two. That only had 5 winners. the four big hitters and then our lowest hc. so for us at least, its less of an equaliser.
