2s ???? TWOS ???? 2s

Apologies if this sounds like a thick question. I played last night in a roll-up Stableford comp (£3), and entered the 'twos' (£2). By my understanding, if you get a 2, you get a share of the pot. Now, one of the guys I played with, said 'are we sharing the twos?' to which I instinctively replied, 'Yes'. I am not entirely sure what 'sharing the twos' means! I am guessing it means I should share what I won out with the 2 others I was playing with - is this correct? I am the only one in our threeball who got one......about time, I haven't had a two all year.

Sorry again for the thick question - I am new to both Stableford and this crazy 'twos' notion.
 
I'd assume if someone in your group got a two, then you'd share the pot with everyone in your group.

Personally I think I'd be telling this guy where to get off...lol If someone gets a 2 on a hole its theirs. If two people get a 2 then that's the only share that should go on.
 
We have a twos in our comps. I used to pay my £1 a week for it. If you get a two, you win a sleeve of balls. For the amount that I've paid into it (not yet made a claim), I could have bought a Faberge' egg!! Let alone some golf balls.

Don't bother anymore. Though ironically the week I stopped paying. Yep, was the week I got a two!! Sods law!
 
in our Club Comp's noramly costs £4 to enter and £1 for the 2's...

Anyone with a 2 ie bride on a par gets a share of the pot (money) then you use the money to buy what you like from the golf shop on site. Same goes for the 4 quid you pay for the comp itselfs, club i think takes 10% of that rest is split into 1st 2nd and 3rd prizes (normaly something for shop value around £40/50 for 1st place) with money also added to your account to spend in the shop.

Not a bad way to run it gets money for the club and also get ya some new gear :p
 
Yeah, I got 43 points so should get some sort of voucher for that, hopefully. Results usually out about 1pm next day (today).

The fella said at the start of the round re. sharing the twos, so it's fair enough I guess. Will see what I win and get it shared out next time I see them.
 
If the comp determines that those who get two's share the pot then thats fine, if a player asks you if you are sharing two's, they normally mean between the group.

Tell them no! :mad: Why should you reward another golfer should YOU get a two and they dont?
Why should you be rewarded if someone else gets one and you dont?

I was confronted with this question once or twice and my reply was cool when I said "Ok but only if we have equal share should anyone in the group WIN the comp!"
Suddenly the group hug sharing mentality disappeared. :D

If it's a team event then i'm quite happy to have "team two's" but if it's individual then you keep your own.
 
OOps, I meant the individual aspect, I am no grump, I would always share with a team effort. :oshould have mentioned that really. :D
 
The amount of money paid out for a 'two', varies enormously, depending on luck or the weather. Got one in a Sunday medal last week and won £5.21 (thirteen winners)

Wouldn't be worth spliting between three!
 
At my club the 2's go into your account to spend in the shop so you cant share ,its a good way to generate money for the pro ,i had won yesterday in the sweep and got £10 and won £14 in the sweep which our squad keeps in a kitty and we have a day out at the end of season.
 
taken stacks of money from the 2's club , even won a rolled over one once a few years back , something like £60 all in. Now that was a nice surprise , think I bought some new shoes with it

No way would I agree to split anything unless its team stuff , get better and win youre own money ;)

Same at my club, believe it something to do with our amateur status.
