Ryder Cup style match YORKSHIRE V NE ... Sun 2nd March

[Khamelion]

I'm sitting watch the glorious weather in spread sheet and support contract hell, every time I close my eyes I see firewall serial number and a dollar cost for support renewal.

The only thing getting me through, is the thought of Bri's face as he tries a scampi fry :rofl:

I take it that's a private joke.......

And that scampi fry is code for some game you guys were playing....

I dread to think........

COURSE UP-DATE….
Played today, Fri, with all course open & playing well, except temporary 17th due to course improvements
Due to the course being some 300 yds shorter off the forward yellows tees (Ladies are as normal except there is a +2 SSS adjustment) an H/Cap adjustment of 7/8ths for men will only be fair [I think/hope], so unless there is any strong objection/good reason, I’ve adjusted H/Caps accordingly….. we’ll still be playing 3/4r’s of the difference, of course.

It’s notable that the NE Team have the Scratch-man in every match, so we look forward to being impressed
Don’t fear, I’ll have the cards prepared prior & we’ll still play a point for Front, Back & overall.

PLEASE NOTE…..Trolleys must have Winter Wheels.... pull or electric can be hired.
Also-
• Exceptional Winter Rules have applied since Nov so will still be in force ie Clean & place thro’ the green… means, everywhere except hazards & bunkers
• 17th will be a temporary & played as a par 4 rather than 5, pin can be left in.

If it was aimed at you, he'd probably miss (or thin or shank or fat)

Only one more sleep....................................... not counting my old man nap this afternoon.

Just to let you know I've got another prize to donate, it's a sleeve of balls, pitch mark repairer and tees, they are top of the range, hence the reason I still have them from my works golf day over a year a go!

 

[Khamelion]

Forecast is looking a little hinky, but as long as we're done by 3 hopefully we should stay dry.

That's great Mark, sounds very good.... as well as the brolly??? or is that now in use

We'll get the weather we'll get!!! at least the ground is much drier now but we'll continue with the 'Exceptional Winter Rules'

Not long now :whoo:

 

[drawboy]

Dave I'll also bring a Golf Monthly 100 anniversary Head Cover that I have never used.

 

[Khamelion]

What was the format that was finally agreed?

Cheers Wayne... a collectors item indeed, thanks:whoo:

What was the format that was finally agreed?

In brief... for the men, due to forward winter Yellow tees & Exceptional Rules, we're playing from 7/8ths... no reduction for the ladies as their tees haven't moved. My H/Cap Sec says that when they are against men a +2 should be applied for SSS difference. Seems about fair to me.
Then finally it's 3/4ers of the difference as normal for B/Ball Matchplay.
We're playing front 9 Back 9 then overall with a point for each. OK??

 

[Khamelion]

Cool, was just curious on the matchplay format, four better ball, best ball or something

Yeah... 4Ball Better Ball Match Play... played off 3/4ers difference between each player against the lowest man. So one of the players is off Scratch... no shots, & the others receive shots. Your partner is Scratch-man you get the most shots in your 4 ball ie 5..... that's SI 1 to 5. Hope I'm not stating the obvious to you Sorry if I am.
Here is the list that I believe is accurate based on the H/Caps I was given or is on GM..... Hope they're OK as I've now done the cards

You can't tell really... but its' likely it'll lead to a close match... here's hoping :thup: You can do no more:ears:

 

[Lump]

Renewed faith in the golf swing after todays round. Looking forward to this now, will be very nice to hit off fairways after a lllooonnggg winter off fairway mats.

Shall be rocking up about 8.30-9.00am

 

[Khamelion]

Can I change my HC to 28 please, been to range this afternoon with Stu and I think I've forgotten how to play golf, I would have hit the ball better, straighter and further had I had hold of the metal end and used the grip to hit the ball.
