Cheap trip away if anybody fancies it......

[chrisd]

I'll rephrase.... I'll moan (and hobble) the 4 rounds alone, drinking a thermos of tea, while giving a lesson and getting banned :thup:

Just another slight fix! :lol:

 

[Smiffy]

Just so I order the correct amount of buggies, could you please confirm when you will want them?
Ray and I will use them for all four rounds as Ray has dodgy knees....

Also been considering the format.
Stableford gets boring. Team event??? Don't want it to end up another whitewash this year!
How about 4 rounds of individual medal???

 

[full_throttle]

Buggy for me on monday please.

Sun, play with in flat group, best 2 to score on par 5's, best 3 to score on par 4's, all 4 on par 3's. (stableford)
Mon, betterball Medal 2 one pair from each flat
Tues, Individual match play

the above would give 7 games

Although to be honest Rob, you've organised the trip so you decide

 

[rosecott]

Buggy for me on all 4 rounds but I will have a trolley in the car just in case.

Apartment 2 had a plan last year to present ourselves in team colours. Just like our expectations of sustained scintillating golf, that plan fell at the first hurdle. Since I recently acquired a very, very pink Yes putter, could we consider pink outfits this year?

I want a buggy for all rounds, Rob. :thup:

Team comp - flat A vs flat B
Matchplay for the first two rounds (singles and/or pairs) - with each flat choosing the order of their team just like the RC.
Then Stableford matchplay for the next two rounds (singles and/or pairs) - the order to be different from the first two rounds so that we get a change of groupings.
Any tie in the team match can be resolved by using the overall best individual stableford round as an extra point.

Individual comp.
Total points over Mon PM and Tues rounds.
:mmm:

 

[Captainron]

Ill buggy up on all days Rob. You'll be glad to hear that I am off 13 now too.

Why not throw in a scramble on the Monday?
I like the thought of 4 different formats for the trip.
Could allocate points for the individual tourney over 3 rounds on an F1 style. So win that 'event' gets you 8 points, 2nd 7, 3rd 6 etc. down to 1 for last. Add up the points for the 3 singles events and voila we have a winner.

 

[Leftie]

Whatever final format is chosen, I think that it should still be an us v them again Rob. Us Southern "softies" (oh, sorry, did we stuff them last year?) v them northern whingers + LIG (he's nearly one of us :mmm.

Don't forget that while you, Ray and JustOne serenely snore from 22.00 onwards preparing for the coming day's fray, I shall be taking one for the team. Infiltrating their inner sanctum, providing beer, drinking Rosey's red stuff, suffering Capt Ron's malt, ignoring Full Throttles lager (unless everything else runs short). Heck, I'll even pretend that I'm rubbish at crib so they don't sus out the real reason I'm there - listening to their team tactics/helping them get a hangover. Heck, 3 lightweights + me v 3 pi55heads + LIG. It's a foregone conclusion, isn't it?

Re a buggy, I would prefer to be walking Sunday and Tuesday. I don't really want a buggy for both rounds on Monday as I will be quite happy to walk one of the rounds that day if there is anyone else like minded (home or away team). Failing that I'll walk, or buggy both rounds on the Monday if I have no option.

Can't understand all you youngsters wanting buggies ........

 

[Smiffy]

Nothing too complicated for me.
I still reckon 4 rounds of individual medal would be the way forward

 

[Smiffy]

By the looks of it I need to order 3 buggies per day.
Got the following.....

Sunday
Ray, Smiffy, Rosecott, LIG, Capt Ron, with Leftie, Just One and Full Throttle walking.

Monday
Ray, Smiffy, Rosecott, LIG, Full Throttle, Capt Ron with Leftie and Just One walking
Tuesday
Ray, Smiffy, Rosecott, LIG, Capt Ron, with Leftie, Just One and Full Throttle walking.

This means that on Sunday and Tuesday, one person will be in a buggy on their own.
Not a problem as they are cheap as chips anyway.

[Captainron]

To the gambling fraternity. Are we playing 10p or 20p per peg?

I will also be bringing various snacks for our enjoyment whilst Rosie and I take your money

 

[Leftie]

I don't think that FT will want to play for those stakes if he has me as a partner

LIG has been reading up the rules so we will be ok in the event of any misdemeanors
