Looking at Sunday's HDID in my division and only three 2s were recorded, one of which was mine :whoo:

One of the two's was a holed approach to a par-4, but the player who recorded it subsequently NR'd his round on the next hole.

I just wondered whether he was eligible for a share, or is the 2s sweep only for completed rounds? I'd hate to have struck a 2, especially on the hole where he got his, and then get hee-haw for it cos I've NR'd and not completed the round.

I reckon he's earned it and so entitled to the share regardless of his card (even though it lessens my split! ;) ), but a work colleague thinks he should have completed the round and posted a score rather than NR so he should forfeit his share as a result.
 
I never entered ours but pretty sure it has to be completed rounds. Always has been everywhere else I've played. Kind of an incentive to finish the round I guess to at least get something back even if the score is a shocker
 
Same here the Two's, closest the hole, run separately to the main comp, you can still NR but win the others as they are optional when you sign in and are paid separately.

I think our two's comp is only played on the par 3 holes. two on reachable par 4's or otherwise don't count.
 
My understanding is that the 2s sweeps are a separate competition, so it's up to the club to decide who is eligible to collect on a 2, we run ours so that a competitive 2 (before the NR) counts but a 2 after the NR doesn't!
 
u pay your money for the two's s if you ge a 2 you shouldgeta share.

we had a stable for a couple of week's ago where 30 guys entered and only one 2;)
 
he may of had 3 really bad holes in a row. decided to N.R instead of going back to the tee to reload and hold up the field.


it doesn't mean he walked in. give him his money. :thup:
 
B,
You still get a share whether you NR or not, you've entered the 2's comp, doesn't stipulate you have to complete 18 holes to be eligible. Well done on getting yours as well.

I've never heard of this being the rule in these parts. A two is a two and that's the comp. 1's don't count either!!
 
We have a golf meeting at the start of each season and this topic always comes up but in my club you can't win with an n/r.

My view is that twos are easier for lower handicappers, n/r tend to be for higher handicappers, so the twos as we play it, are loaded towards the better golfers. I therefore feel that n/rs should not matter and the twos should be treated as in a stableford round - we nearly always play medal play - but I am voted down every year. This is where it is silly, you can play a stableford round, have 17 holes where you do not finish and still take the cash for your two at the one hole you finished.

Other clubs here play twos as a separate comp and a n/r card does not matter. The answer is ....... it depends on the club.

So you get a 2 on a par 4 and cant get a 2's prize, I would be gutted if that happened to me. A 2 is a 2 on any hole I would have thought.
 
NR doesn't exclude you from the 2s sweep at our club - not sure why it would matter. Only recorded 1 NR in the last 5 years so it wouldn't tend to affect me either way.

Our 2s sweep is divided to seperate A and B sections - this tends to be a sore point for some members.

Generally the A section (11 and below) share is around £3-6, the B section (12 and above) share tends to be £8-12ish.

I've had 3 from 5 starts so far this year - £5, £5.50 and out of the blue a £49 when for the first time ever there was only 1 A-Section 2 recorded on a particularly difficult scoring day.

Any cash left over goes into the Ace fund - anyone with an ace gets paid out double the 2s sweep and whatever is in the Ace pot - I left one over the lip a few weeks ago, and had it dropped it it would have been a very nice payout indeed.
 
a 2's a 2 whether you NR or not- Ludicrous a club wouldnt pay out because you NR the last for example!

My place though Cat 1's can only score a 2 on 2 of the Par 3's otherwise any 2's would be getting about 20p back each week.

I'd have to get clarification from the membership at my club, but I'm sure that is the case. I to would be gutted if I eagle the 2nd, a driveable par 4 as it is down hill and when the ground is firm a good members bounce and run would see you close to if not on the green, a decent chip or putt would have you a two.

Never said it was a rule but just the way they have decided to run it. As I said, I never go in it as my history with par 3's isn't great and with two being over 200 yards and another two between 175 and 190 the odds are never good. That said the pro is running it these days and so he may have changed the set up. When the organisers of the comp (handicap sec) was doing it I know thats how it ran
 
Ours, like most, till pay out for 2 even if you n/r

Its becoming less popular to enter it as now as the amount of balls won for a 2 often doesn't seem good value for the £2.50 entry fee

Cat 1's is the hole of the day at my place, a hole in 1 won't get you a jot as a cat 1 if it's not on hole of the day but it's understandable given we have 2 par 3's which aren't particularly difficult holes for these guys.

I had an eagle 2 with a 4 iron and got the grand total of £5.50 in the 2's sweep, a 2 is a 2 after all.

NR's make no odds either, we have 2 par 3's in the last 4 holes so it's worth finishing yur round.
