Great, a thread aimed at getting forumers to play together is hijacked by those wanted to have sly digs at others. Really helping to get more people involved in this event.:rant:

Hey where can I see that?
 
having a valid handicap, isn't/wasn't an entry criteria, so how can they be checked.

I voted stableford, just because it's a slow round otherwise. Watching someone sink a 15 footer for a 10 isn't my idea of fun.

The people who won the regionals and final were looked into to verify handicap authenticity. It doesnt really matter how does it? All people need to know is nobody was trying it on as they were all active and accurate etc.

You think it wont be a slow round with Stableford? :rofl:
 
Competition golf comes under various formats of strokeplay and Matchplay

Maybe darn south but in the land where golf was invented you wont find many major comps with the "cop out" stableford format.

Most major comps at golf clubs are medal and rightly so.

You're right coolio.

I reckon we should get Phil's moniker changed to wimpyphil:whoo:

So despite entry last year being open to those without active handicaps all of the finalists actually had current and active handicaps. Kind of points towards those without active handicaps not trying it on if none of them qualified.

I don't have a current handicap and I don't really care if the decision is made that the event is only open to those that have them or not. I'll still turn up and play in the regional qualifier anyway and if I win it and I'm not allowed to go to the final because of it then it's not the end of the world and I guess that the guy that finishes highest with a "valid" handicap will qualify. As I said before we're basically playing for bragging rights on a golf forum. It's not the Race to Dubai with millions of pounds at stake.

Cop out :rofl:

Golf invented :rofl:

Didn't realise it was such a major comp

But overall lets go with the majority as was mentioned in the first post
 
May I suggest Bogey competition format.

The KOK was originally foreseen as a massive matchplay knockout event, bogey comp is a slight hat-tip to the original concept.

Bogey is quicker than stableford, and much quicker than medal.

Bogey is harder than stableford, but lets you away with the odd mare hole.

Also very straightforward to calculate a scratch score against the course as well as a handicap score.

Best of all worlds. **takes a bow**

Why wimp stu ?

Wasn't stableford invented in your neck of the woods ????:confused:

It will be slow whatever, demo'd by the 5 hour HFH rounds :


Make it medal if you want, if it makes you feel like the big man.

I'm happy with any format, but why try and dress it up to be a major comp?

It's open to those who aren't club members, you don't need a handicap to play, therefore it's just a glorified forum meet.
I'm not decrying it, it will be a laugh but it's not proper comp golf.

Im happy to have someone play that isn't a club member but unless they have a congu handicap
they wont be in the main comp,not at my regional.
Nothing against them personally of course.
