Yep. Its tough going when we're hitting 5 irons into greens and someone else is hitting wedges
Don't worry lads, I'll find a decent par 3 pitch and putt course for the event :thup:

Can I suggest making it a 3 club challenge, on the windiest day of the year, on Britains highest course, with only 1 ball per player, off the black tees, in shorts. Medal.
Now that would sort the men from the fairway dodgers........

Will there be mulligans for fluffed chips?
Course 'Par' is relatively meaningless in comparison to the 'Standard Scratch Score' - the real measure of Par for the course.
I've played a few rounds recently round a wee SSS66-Par69 links - shooting 69 there is no better than 75 round my home course (SSS72-Par72) even if it's 'technically' level par versus +3...
If the lowest Gent's score is 74 versus an SSS of 73 and the lowes Ladies score is 74 versus an SSS of 74, then the FD wins...
Played a friendly club scratch match versus the Lothians Ladies team a couple of years back - ladies played off the reds, we played off the whites and had a very good game. That was matchplay though - if the tourney is strokeplay then some adjustment should be made if the SSS's aren't equal.

I'm interested, depending location. Why not have a ladies and a gents Comp .Seems a lot more straightforward.

to keep it in true scratch open style, you need a ballot

Won't have a chance but seen as numbers prove its popular then if consider it if the course was worth it

Shouldn't we have a vote to see if we need a ballot? Maybe proportional representation...?

Will there be a last place prize? Something like everyone else has to buy the loser a beer? I'd be up for that!:cheers:

Good point Patrick!
I'll set the entry number at one less than the number of applicants and we can ballot out the highest handicapper

If Gordon's organising hopefull hayling, or maybe broadstone. You can fly into Southampton from Inverness :thup
Inverness doesn't fly direct.i think you have to change at Bristol.
