Formby/Royal Liverpool Dunghill cup new joint thread March 16/17th

Stu C, the guy i had in mind definitely can't play Sunday or Monday. There may be someone in work and i will find out tomorrow.

LB, my official HC is with the club having been transferred up from Suffolk. Do i play of 26 (official HC) or am i going with the 21 from last year? The 26 will come down as soon as i've done my 3 cards at LP so i don't mind either way.

Cheers

Even though your potentially my team mate, I think it would be remiss of me if you played off 26, as I think your clearly better than that. At Caldy you had about 35 points from memory, so 21 or 22 I think would be fair.

What do you think, and Birchy also?

Played with Steve at Frodsham he knocks the ball miles ⛳ should be of 12 :swing:

He had 29 points at Caldy iirc. I would probably meet in the middle and go 22 or 23 (doesnt matter which as they both the same off 3/4 handicap). He hit a good ball at Caldy that day but that doesnt mean we should be too harsh imo :)
 
Not sure I'll be able to get a handicap certificate for Sunday, hope they dont ask!!

My putting has been abysmal recently, needs to improve on Sunday otherwise I could be in serious trouble.

Agreed, say 22, if the nett shots is the same.

Steve, your off 22. This doesn't apply to the OOM though, 3 cards needed in at Lee park,over the next few weeks .

Sounds fair enough to me mate.

We got any takers for the available slots yet? We will have to rearrange tee times/format at some point today/tomorrow wont we?

I think the last par 3 on each course is decent enough for nearest the pins as they are in range for all.
 
Obviously still a few things up in the air, regarding who is playing and if we've got enough for pairs.

If we have the 7 pairs (looks doubtful) we'll keep the pairs comp.

Option 1. If we have an odd number, we'll do the competition over the two days (£15.00 each) with prizes going down to 3rd and 2 nearest the pins (one each day).

Option 2. Alternatively, if we have 6 pairs shall we keep the pairs thing going, (still £15.00 each) but prizes down to 2nd only and 2 nearest the pins (one each day).

What are peoples' preferences?
 
I'll go with the flow, winning some shillings would be nice but I'm just looking forward to playing both courses in some good company ;)
 
I would say go for the pairs still but the only snag ive come across is on Monday it might make the groupings awkward unless the spots get filled?

Unless we just do the comp as combined scores pairs so both players scores count then the groupings wont matter? Might make it easier for mixing everybody to play with new players as well? Just an idea.

Could maybe have a best individual prize if we do it that way too.

Yes, combining scores may help the organisation + gives some individual stuff.... but, like the others, I'm easy:lol:

Keep the pairs going if we can, if not, individual over 2 days with prize money for top 3.
