Okay gentlemen here are the final details for the Golf Monthly Forum England v Scotland Match taking place this week at Goswick Links Golf Club near Berwick-upon-Tweed.
The 1st tee off time on Friday is 12.00noon so you can meet in the clubhouse any time before that. I intend to be down from 10ish so I will keep my eyes open for you arriving
Our official starter is once again preparing for the official 1st Tee duties... so to Mr Rodger snr we give our thanks.
Friday format will be:-
Better ball matchplay with 3/4 H'cp diff being taken from the lowest man in the 4.
2 points will be awarded for a win and 1 for a halved match.
Saturday 1st tee off time is 10.00am and we will be playing a slightly more complicated format but one that will keep everyone involved up to the 18th regardless of how you are playing.
Pairings Better Ball Stableford with 3/4 of Handicap allowance, so if John Findlay and Stuart Douglas where to get a better ball stableford total of 42 points against the England pairing of 41 points better ball then Scotland would take the 2 points for the win in that match.
Again 2 points for a win and 1 for a halved match so overall the magical number each country is looking for is 13 to win. In the event of a draw, the holders will retain. (Where have I heard that before?)
After play ends on Friday we can have a beer in the clubhouse and a snack if you wish. After that we will head back into Berwick get showered etc and meet up later for a few beers and some in depth discussions of the days play. There is no food booked this year, so if you want bar food when you complete your round, go ahead and order it if you wish. In the evening, it’s every man for himself. Madandras cabaret act in the Indian restaurant has already been fully booked I’m afraid, but there are bound to be suitable eating establishments in town and folks can work out who favours what and then meet up again in a specific pub.
We have some prizes lined up for nearest the pins each day (any other donations gratefully accepted !) So, all we need now is the weather to smile upon us once again!!
Just to remind you, the costs are £40 for the golf for this year’s event.
If you could let me have that on arrival I will settle up with the club.
A contacts sheet has been emailed out to everyone who supplied an email address. You should have received this latter part of last week.
Have a safe journey and we’ll see you all at Goswick on Friday morning.
Hopefully we’ll post the match pairings for Friday early this week once Team England get their pairings sorted out.
