Looks for Range (1/11)

  1. I’ve hear it said manny times; “just come and bring what you got”, and “Just don’t DQ and you’ll have fun”. “You won’t win, but try and learn”. After a new prospect pages through the rules, tweaks and/or buys gear, loads up the car to drive 2 hours to a match, then get’s their doors blown off again and again, one can see why in the above post where Jack Weltch CEO of General Electric said “If you don’t have a competitive advantage, don’t compete”. I can see where it might get frustrating to the more causal/curious beginner if they are lower bottom of the rankings over and over again. Sure “just practice more” is often the answer, but for the more causal guys, that might not be the answer. MDs have to learn to motivate the squads. How can one get motivation amongst the squads? Get the game competitive again. I’ve often wondered if a handicap system, or having different class levels within a class...Like A and B could reignite motivation. Put A’s with proven low handicaps and high match experience together with their own scoring and B’s for high handicaps and/or low match time together to keep the nervousness down and spark real competition amounts a like peer group. This would influence the “competitive spirit” of both those in the A squad simultaneously with the B squad. No one wants to get their you-know-what’s dumped in the dirt every match. Then the top B level players get moved up automatically to A as to not sand-bag the Bs later on. It will never be “fun” for a beginner/intermediate to be pared up with guy’s who rip up the course every weekend. There’s got to be reward early if you want them coming back.
