:twisted: Paul, did you intend that to favor yourself? :twisted: That experience add would kill at least three of us.

Instead of a 0.806 I would have a 0.838. To think you get .001 index better each year after about 4 years is a fallacy. You think JB is 0.010 (PAX) better than he was ten years ago? He was good then and is good now. I doubt that there is a good way to do this.

I'm with Scott. Experience and age shouldn't cancel or be a handicap for people who started before age 60. Maybe you could get bonus points for being a rookie and those go away with experience.

Nothing Dave.. it's what National came up with for Pro Solo. We can do whatever we want. I like 70 myself :D ...guessing your 60? I've got no issue with you joining in with us it's just for FUN anyway.
Yeah, I turn 60 in August. It's always fun to have an extra category to compete in. It won't help me, though, since you old guys already beat me straight up...... :oops: :lol:

This is why sometimes you just can't have ANY FUN anymore. No matter what we do in this day and age everything must be so damm correct.
GUYS I was just screwing with you. :fight: Calm down I could care less about PAX, AGE, EXPERIENCE.....it's all about having a good time...if you win that's a bonus for me. Will you old ladies be willing to agree on straight up PAX times your best 6 wins the GEEZER Championship?????...Cause when I get my new ride half way through the season .....I'll kick both your ASSES PAX or no PAX and you can put that in the bank

No! First of all I would lose, and it is not safe, and third- I would lose.

I have access to this info, but it is illegal for me to provide it. Sorry. Age is private info for some.

You will need to ask who is interested. Although at least two that Ax and would qualify don't often frequent the forum. There are approx 9 as I remember.

I'll fess up. 69. Geezer class sounds like fun. Hope to be there more this year. I still want to (try to) beat Walter every once in awhile.
