Eden/Strathtyrum tournaments at St Andrews

[OnTour]

Right 👍 there's hope for the hackers then 😀 thought it was straight ballot

Jamie Melton into the semi's from my old club 👍 solid young player

Do you mean just into the competition in the first place?

120 are fastest finger first, and 120 are balloted.

Then top 64 gross into scratch matchplay and best 32 nett (excluding any that made it through gross) into handicap matchplay.

Played in the stableford with Gaz on the Jubilee course.

quite impressed with the course although the wind was a tad breezy.

chomped it round in 34 and got a 0.2 cut. Mildly irritating as I could have had a decent cut today.

Yes Andy, Merv79 won the Eden, and Gordon's golf partner Louise won the Strathtyrum.

Gordon caddied for both in their finals, though he doesn't like to take any credit.

That is just greedy. I think Louise may ahve beaten your pal in her final.

Bit of a shocker for me today, as well as I played the first two days was as bad as I played today.

The first 9 as close wit never more than one in it, more thanks to her 3 putting though, still one down after 12 with me getting a shot on the 13th, I pulled my drive a little into light rough but then hit a shocker and we couldn't find it so 2 down, on the next I carved my drive out of bounds and then pulled my second ball into rough and failed to find that so 3 down,, we both parred the next, but when I had 2 putts to keep the match alive on the 16th I took 3.

It was rather windy today so the Eden course was tricky, but I wish I had lost to someone playing well, rather tan lost because I played badly.

Still got the consolation Stableford on the Jubilee to look forward to tomorrow though.

I’m tempted although not sure I’ll have enough annual leave to play! Hard to commit to a week at the end of the season right now!

Just found the thread for this. It looks like an awesome comp. Holiday already booked this year. It is in the diary for 2019 (hopefully)

 

[Deleted member 17920]

I won’t be entering this year as I can’t get the time off work.

Really did did enjoy it last year and hopefully will try and enter in 2019 subject to other things I have planned.

Hmmm.....with no foreign hols booked for summer this year I may have some of this. Never played the Eden for donkeys years, was always a great course til they butchered it to make way for the driving range.

Tempted. Ended up 6th on the Reserve list last year going into the week, so very disappointed to miss out. Will try again this year but my 4.9 H’cap will probably mean another missed cut for me ne:

Mark,

Even if you don't make the initial spaces and end up on the reserve list you will be a lot higher than last year and you should end up getting in.
