[Captainron]

Round 3 stableford best 3 to count full h/c (1pt)
Round 4 individual matchplay (8pts)

or in any order

Sounds good as long as we can play in two balls on the last round?

More to the point. What had tack do we want to bring along? I will gladly bring a bottle of whisky for general consumption.

Eh???

As senior man, I must surely be considered the General.

 

[Captainron]

Hard tack. Damn these fat fingers.

No can do I'm afraid. Just got the two tee times booked. I personally fancy the team stableford myself. Make all four scores count rather than the best three so somebody goes home feeling guilty.

Why not divide it into 3 having 2 to count on 1st 6, then 3 to count on middle 6 and then all 4 to count on last 6. Anyone having a bad day is then crapping themselves coming up to to the last 6 holes

Poor Smiffy is going to have to take his shoes off to count the scores. :lol:

 

[Region3]

Nothing to do with me but just another suggestion.....

Best 1 on 1st round, best 2 on 2nd, best 3 on 3rd, all 4 on 4th?

 

[full_throttle]

would this be any better?

Round 1 betterball stableford (2 matches)
Round 2 betterball matchplay (2 matches)
Round 3 team stableford best 3 scores count (1 match)
Round 4 team stableford worth 4 points, best 2 scores on par 5, best three scores on par 4 and all 4 on par 3 holes.

first three rounds score 2 points a win and 1 point a draw per match

 

[Smiffy]

I reckon a team stableford over the four rounds is going to be the easiest. All scores count, nobody is going to be absolutely sure who has won until after the final round (unless one team has had an absolute mare and are about 100 points behind after 3 rounds) and it will keep us all trying 'til the end.

 

[JustOne]

I think a team stableford of some sort.... but only best 3 scores.... I'm expecting to have a nightmare!!!

 

[Leftie]

Are you expecting us to carry you again James?

 

[duncan mackie]

I love James's assumption that he's the only one that could have a nightmare......such a selfish approach!

Just a note to those that are going....

Gainsborough GC has a very "relaxed" dress code.
It will be perfectly acceptable to wear jeans etc. for the evening meal.
1st tee is booked from 2.02pm on the Sunday, I will plan to get there about 12.30/1.00pm and will sort out balances (if due) and payment to the club when we are all together.

Itinerary for the week-end is as follows....

Sunday 14th
2.02pm Tee off 18 holes Karsten Lakes course
7.30pm Approx 3 x course meal in the restaurant

Monday 15th
8am Approx Full English Breakfast
8.58am Tee off 18 holes Thonock Park course
2.34pm Tee off 18 hoes Thonock Park course
7.30pm Approx 3 x course meal in restaurant

Tuesday 16th

8.58am Tee off 18 holes Karsten Lakes course

Buggies are available and they are dirt cheap so let me know if you want them and I'll pre-book.

Really looking forward to it

I'd like to share a buggy with someone on the 2-round day on Monday. I'm also happy to walk (I can still do it) on the other days or share if anyone needs a buggy partner.

I will be taking my Go-Kart with me and will most probably "walk" the 1st round and the last. The Karsten Lakes course isn't particularly hilly.
I would recommend a buggy on the Monday. Thonock Park is a bit leggy to say the least. 1st hole is steep (steep) downhill, 2nd hole is just as steep coming back up and will feck you for the rest of the round!
I will deffo be having a buggy on Monday, as will Ray Taylor so you are guaranteed a share with somebody

 

[Leftie]

Much as I hate buggies, I'm happy to share one on the Monday for the 2 rounds if anyone else wants one.

 

[Captainron]

Ill go in for a buggy with someone no worries. I think a cool bag full of liquid refreshment will also be accompanying us.

There is also the distinct possibility that the weather will be kind to us. Not sure we will need our jumpers. :whoo:
