Hope all those who are signed upo for the PPG event tomorrow are looking forward to it
You will get a full briefing on the format tomorrow but PPG pro-am veteran Jezz has written this handy in a nutshell guide..

Play is over nine holes using the Stableford scoring system.

There are two flags on each green – white and black - with the black flag usually, though not always, in a trickier spot.

You may opt for three black flag PowerPlays in the first eight holes, nominating them before your tee shot.

Nett birdies or better on PowerPlay holes earn double Stableford points.

You may go for an optional bonus PowerPlay on the 9th, but anything worse than nett par here scores minus three points.
 
Very much looking forward to this tomorrow, hope its a nice afternoon weather wise.

I am looking forward to meeting lots of old and making some new friends and playing what should be a very special golf course.

Does anyone know what the 9th hole par is please?


Oh BTW We love you GM!!! :D

par 5 SI 3 - between 515 and 549 yards by the look of things.
That'll take 2 lusty blows to get there.....


would seem rude not to take on the hard pin though hu!!!
 
I'm looking forward to this tomorrow too. It's the taking part that counts for me so I will probably go for broke on the last!
 
My shot holes are 3,4,5,6 and 9. The tee we use will decide if the par 3 4th is an option, if we're too far back it'll be 3,5 & 6. I'll probably go for 9 as well just to keep in the spirit of it all.
 
I get 5 and I'm probably picking the same as Hawkeye + the last as well. Don't fancy that par 3 over the lake much, especially off the very back. Might take it on if we're about 170 out though...
 
WELL UP FOR THIS!!!

Meeting the forummers I know and the ones I don't.

One question - I take it that we're allowed to use the practice facilities if we get there early (say midday)???

I thought you had to play three power plays? Or you were d/q?
