Machrihanish trip 2013 - Confirmed dates

[GreiginFife]

Crawford, if you sent to my work email (bskyb.com) I haven't logged in for a few days.
I am happy to go with the consensus though Dunaverty on the Friday would do me if that's the general feeling.

Any ideas and plans would be helpful.

Just a thought for something different, I did this at a corporate day and was good laugh and keeps everyone involved no matter how your playing. Each fourball is given a yellow team ball. It starts with the lowest handicapper who has to play the 1st with the yellow ball, he then passes the ball to 2nd lowest handicapper who plays 2nd hole with it, then 3rd highest for 3rd, highest for 4th, then back to low man for 5th hole, this continues for all 18 holes, the team with the highest stableford total is the winner or whoever gets furthest round the course, John Robertson said they did it at a Hearts day out at Dalmahoy and only 2 teams out of 29 got round without losing the ball, when ball is lost your team is out but note what hole you are on as you never know how everyone else is doing. This is normally done as part of an individual stableford which everyone is playing but puts some pressure on you when it's your turn with the team ball, I know 1st hand after losing the team ball off the 17th tee last time round

It's something different which is done on top of an individual stableford and isn't to complicated.

Cheers wishy h. That's another option.

Options seem to be

yellow ball competition
scramble
greensomes


if anyone has anything else that they would like to throw into the mix or has any real grype about playing a certain format then say so. I will go with the most popular. Therefore if you don't reply then you can't complain.

Certainly a variation of it I'm sure is the plan.

I'm very happy to go with the flow.... Not too worried about format. I've never played the old machrihanish before so that would probably get my vote for friday but will happily play anywhere!

Karen,

Go with the flow and play Dunaverty. It's an amazing course and always in amazing condition.
