2s competition

[JPH]

Start out intending to win the comp. When that's gone sour...
Play for Handicap reduction - then buffer! When that gone sour (about 14)....
Play for 2 on last Par 3 (15). When that fails.....
Score 6+ points on last 3 holes. When that's not going to happen....
Birdie the last.

Always something positive, so never just going through the motions!

Yeah that seems like a good way to to do it , allways a little challenge to rise to

The last time I won a share in the 2's was during a Texas Scramble.

Paid £1 to enter and won about £1.50 :rofl:

 

[GreiginFife]

Sorry Greig, good prices indeed. My funny bit was about what type of glove, you said "GOLVES" bad joke............

Ah, I see my spell check flailed me again
I really should proof read what I typo. Who can rely on spell cheque?.... :lol:

Hang on I see what you did there!!!
My spell check seems to think I'm American! It doesn't even recognise the word cheque or recognise for that matter!

 

[Canary_Yellow]

I got a 2 earlier this year and won £27. That seems to be the standard kind of value prize at my course for a 2.

The 2's comp is a mandatory part of entering the comp. We only have 3 par 3's, one of them is 140 yards, one is 220 yards, and one is 156 yards but up a steep hill. So not many two's tend to be recorded!

 

[HawkeyeMS]

I never do the 2s sweep anymore. I used to do it all the time at my old club and never got one until the day I forgot to enter it, since then I've not entered.

 

[Wayman]

always enter it at club or opens
chance to win money so might as well
at the club it just into your account to use in shop

 

[Birchy]

I think its great! Ive got a fair few twos mainly down to my good putting but i do love the fact that the 2nd to last hole on our course gives you a chance to win something despite having a shocker.

Last week was a betterball comp at ours and my usual partner was away so i ended up paired with this old fella. I tried to persuade him to enter the twos but he would not have it no matter what i said and i didnt have any extra money to offer to pay for him. Anyway you know what happened dont you? Holed a 20ft+ putt on the 17th for a two was gutted i got a 2! It was an awful feeling.

2s are a great way of spreading the love. Only 1 person can win a comp (depending on the type, obviously) but any number can make a 2 and get something back for it.

And as others have said, it keeps you interested even if you've had a bit of a shocker.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I never enter. To be honest, we have two par 3's over 200 yards, and three between 175 and 185 yards and I often struggle to find the dancefloor so a two is a rare treat. I'm happy to make par and move on

 

[moogie]

I always enter the 2's Sweep, its a good gamble, 3 canny chances (par 3s) at our place, the other par 3 (5th) is a good par at 221yds

Had a good season with about £85 in my account from the 2's 'Club' , so cant grumble

 

[the hammer]

i got a 2 in the monthly medal on 6/10/12, i still havent been processed, i traded my driver in 2 weeks ago and couldnt put my 2's money in , because i dont know how much.beyond a joke.

 

[Fish]

I enjoy the competitiveness of the 2's.

With 5 par 3's with the last one being the 18th, there is always something to get out of the round right to the end.

I've had 3 this year in medals with September being my best return with coming 2nd in the medal, winning the associated Rabbits Chalice (Avatar) and getting a 2 on our 4th so netted £65 that day

 

[HawkeyeMS]

No 2's comp/ball sweep at ours probably because we have 5 par 3's and I think there are a fair amount of 2's every comp!

We have 6 par 3s but that doesn't make 2s any easier to come by, 3 is a very good score on 5 of them.

Oue last par 3, the 17th, is 218 yds so the last thing you're thinking is making birdie. Hitting the green is hard enough let alone hoping for a 2.

 

[white_feather]

My only two came from an Eagle on the par 4 17th.

After nobbing my drive about 80 yards I thought what the hell and pulled my 3-wood.

Gripped it, ripped it and it rolled in for a 2 and £6.80.

The shot that was heard around the Bay.

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

It perks me up no end on the odd occasion when I cash in my 2's pot, I can buy a new tee or such like !!

 

[cookelad]

We have 6 par 3s but that doesn't make 2s any easier to come by, 3 is a very good score on 5 of them.

Only have to check HDID to see there's a fair few every time at ours! There must be a lot of shots dropped elsewhere because the overall scores aren't miles under par!

For our betterball comps we still enter individually as you're playing your own ball all the way. If both of you have a 2 on the same hole you both get paid.

 

[Andy808]

I used to enter them and then stopped after half a dozen comps without getting close. First comp without entering I hit a great shot to about 4 feet and get a 2. I was gutted! Never missed going in for it again and since then I've had 3 or 4 2s so I'm well up in total.
