What format does your MG have ?
That is an VERY strong showing over the past 5 years.
And this is why an inflated handicap is important.AggieDruggist89 said:

I'm playing in my first member guest with a friend of mine (his course) in October. I'm just trying to play as much golf between now then as I can. With a busy schedule thats only been a round or two a week. As we get closer to that date I'll probably try to work on some small stuff.
We're both 5-7 handicaps. I think the format is best ball, so we should do ok. However, this will probably be the most pressure I've felt when playing golf. I'm not worried about it though, as that's never bothered me in other situations.
Any tips for a first timer?

Ha, they're using GHIN numbers. I wouldn't do that crap anyway. I've been putting in my actual scores leading up to this. Unlike some people that only enter the bad ones so they inflate their handicap.

Size of the field is also important to know just how exceptional your past tournament record was.
A win, 2 seconds and 2 thirds in the last 5 years. That's pretty salty.
To place in most MG tournaments you have to win your flight to advance and then have to play well in the "shoot out"
If it is a small club MG with less than 20 teams, then maybe winning/placing that high in consecutive years would not cause much concern.
BUT if it is the typical 60-72 team member guest with 10-12 six team flights.
Well let's just say that would draw the scrutiny of the handicap committee at most clubs.
Here's the logic.
If everyone has a legit handicap (I know, I know -- they don't) then everyone has an equal chance of winning the tournament.
Finishing in the top 3 for 5 consecutive years in a large MG in statistically improbable. Highly improbable.

Last year we lost to a group with scratch as a 6, this year 6 as a 22 and another one this year 4 as a 12.
We won as a scratch and 4.

II just had my MG, my biggest piece of advice would be to ensure your partner isn't on conference calls for 39 of your 45 holes!!
Freaking brutal.......if it wasn't open bar I would have been really.pissed, but we had a great time.
Our 1st match he was on the phone the entire time, by our 3rd hole I told him I couldn't play 1 vs 2.....not in our flight. I did my best........but got absolutely drilled!!

What's the general rule when playing as a guest in these and the Calcutta
Member and guest offer to pay half for who every buys their team?
No obligation to pay?
Member pays?
