[TopOfTheFlop]

Richard don't ask!!! Awful high 90's at Coombe Hill in a rush to get a handicap!
I'm sure i'll be El Bandito for a while and be hated amongst the members for a while.....

High 90's at Comme Hill aint too bad - cracking course and tough to boot.

Your not Tarby's mate are you?

Everyone, having just gone through the whole of this thread I've got a question about the rules that I can't see has been asked yet.

Given that this is handicap strokeplay rather than stableford, so I assume no countback, what are the rules in the event of a tie on net score? Playoff (in which case over how many holes), or both/all go through to the final? It would be good to have this clearly defined before any qualifiers start, and weather allowing I'll be playing at Fish's track in just under 3 weeks.

I assume its a similar system to how our count-back works - scorecards are compared for the last 9 holes, then 6 holes, 3 holes and the last hole in an attempt to split the tie.

Not sure play off possible when qualifiers spread over several dates ?

Funny you should say that because at my play in he came and met us on the 13th green as he was cutting back to his house on the 14th. Found out i was a northern lad and started giving me putting tips! All very surreal but he was a pleasant enough chap!

As for the consecutive high 90's it was playing tough and im happy to be a member of a fine course and it will only help me get better and improve my game.

Cheers

Have you paid your King of King entry fee? If so, where to?

As for the £20 you sent me, Hillside is now fully booked so I have returned this payment to you. I will add you to the reserve list and hopefully we can get you a place.

Virtuocity, in the light of this question, can I offer to write up Conditions of Competition for you - qualifiers and the final? You may already have them from previous occasions but happy to help draft or revise if needed.

 

[virtuocity]

To quote a wiser man than myself:

"Normal medal rules for countback are done on handicap so it would be half handicap for back 9. 1/3 handicap for back 6 etc."

Lovely offer and I WILL come back to you but I really hope that we can answer the questions as they arise.

Whilst we're not making the rules as we go, this is meant to be a light-hearted competition and I would really hope that a list of rules and conditions weren't needed. However, if people are wanting something written down, then let us know and I'll then kindly ask Colin to come up with something.

Most of the regional qualifiers are a one-day, best net score strokeplay comp. Winner wins and goes to King of Kings final.

Final day is one day strokeplay comp. Winner wins, gets trophy and has a big head on the forum for a year

In the event of a tie- normal countback rules apply.

Can't make it any more simple than that folks!

I thought the final was matchplay?

Check out the very first post on this thread.

Not that it's any of my business because I'm not in, but from what I've read it appears that some people think that your £10 entry gets you in as many qualifiers as you want and others think it's £10 per qualifier.

A little unfair on the people paying multiple times if others aren't?

It was always agreed and announced at the start that it was a single £10 to enter the overall comp, if you wanted to play at other regional courses you could and would only need to pay those specific green fee's.
