Wow, that is a hefty commitment of time if you go all the way!!

Out of interest, do get many walkovers in the matchplay due to guys not able to play due to work/ home commitments??

36 holes strokeplay, need 2 qualifying scores from 7 attempts to get in.

At my club the ladies section Silver championship is two rounds strokeplay with best 8 scratch scores going into three rounds of matchplay. I qualified #1 (hurrah) and the matchplay rounds are Wednesday/Friday/Saturday this week!

Bronze championship is one round qualifier with top 8 going into matchplay as per Silver.


It's hard going for the men (a lot of golf in a short time)....

Two rounds strokeplay qualifier last weekend with top 16 going into 4 rounds of matchplay. Division A and B championships all running this week.

Finals day on Saturday is good with all the finals: Men's A and B, Junior's A and B and Ladies' Silver and Bronze.

No idea!

This is my first year in the club so will find out tonight how many no-shows we get.

It has been wet all day, cold and windy so I get a feeling there might be a couple...

Well if folks call off after qualifying they should get their backsides kicked by the match convenor. If you're not available, don't let your name go in the draw. Poor weather is not an excuse.

Ours is over two weekends....36 hole qualifier on saturday down to 8 nett and 8 gross scores going through to a 3 day, Sun then Sat the next weekend Matchplay tourney.

36 hole strokeplay over 2 days open to anyone. The Major prize is the gross score trophy but there are also prizes for best net, best gross over 12hcp and best gross over 20.5hcp. Going to give it a crack this year.

 

[duncan mackie]

yes, as in the Club Championship is 36 hole medal play over 2 days

 

[Crow]

36 hole gross stroke play same day max h/cap 12 to enter no draw highest h/cap out first through to lowest last. There is nett prize to.

Ours is almost exactly as this but 14 handicap cut-off, second round goes out in order of highest gross scroe from first round first to lowest last and we also have a small nett prize.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Same as a lot of others 36 holes of medal. 18 on Saturday and a cut and then the top 30 go out in leaderboard order. Prize for gross winner and best nett

 

[Achilles]

Same as a lot of others 36 holes of medal. 18 on Saturday and a cut and then the top 30 go out in leaderboard order. Prize for gross winner and best nett

I'm pretty sure ours is the same as this too. I missed last year's so this this one will hopefully be my first since I joined. Last weekend of June so not long to wait!

Ours is 36 hole medal. 18 in the morning around Carthagina then 18 around John OGaunt in the afternoon. You have to be single figures to enter it and it is off scratch. 12 and under h`caps can play in the afternoon round as that counts for the Div. 1 h`cap Trophy, they tee off just before the afternoon groups in the scratch event go out. The afternoon round for the single figure h`caps also counts for the Div 1 Trophy.

Well surprise surprise... I am into the last 16 without hitting a ball tonight!

I actually feel embarassed getting this far, played like a donkey on saturday (100!) bit better on Sunday, but still manage to make it this far due to so many people pulling out. Gotta feel for the guys that organise it, putting in the effort and people cant be arsed or dont have the decency to complete their fixtures.

I actually hope i win by some amazing fluke, will make some of them feel right silly for not turning up!

We have 36 holes over two days - best gross and nett scores. I know someone who has to 'make the cut' on their first strokeplay round. I love the idea of doing this!
