If he plays on the day, which I expect he will, he may well want to share it. I will ask him and confirm

So serious question....

What are everybodies thoughts on a 36 hole medal?
I personally get bored playing Stableford all the time and just fancy a change.
I know it will mean putting everything out and might slow it up a little, but playing as 3 balls it still shouldn't take longer than the allotted 4 hours...should it?
Your comments (constructive ) would be appreciated.

36 hole medal a bit of a grind. Snap hook the first, and it's a day wasted.

How about a team thing in the morning, 2 scores from 3, or yellow ball, to get to know the course, and then medal in the pm for personal glory?

Or, you could deduct the mornings stableford score from the afternoons medal. Bit different than straight medal play.

Haven't you got work to do?

I like the idea of something different so will go with the team event in the morning. 3 ball groups, best 2 scores on each hole to count. Will sort the groups out nearer the time trying to get one low, one mid and one higher handicapper in the same group.
Afternoon round we'll have as a medal round. That should be fun.
All coming together...

I don't think Cooden allow Texas Scrambles. I will look into it though, although it's not my favourite format.

What's wrong with it?

It's fun. But it's not golf is it?

Well in that case we might aswell scrap the Ryder Cup, most of the time it's two guys using only one ball - stupid, surely they can afford one each???






I'll play whatever format the guy organising it decides

That's foursomes James. Not Texas Scramble. And personally, I don't mind a foursomes competition. It certainly causes the old blood pressure to rise, one way or another!
I have just received an email from Cooden letting me know they have received my booking form and deposit. I have replied asking about their stance on Texas Scramble competitions. A lot of courses don't like this format because of the damage it "may" cause to the course. I don't see this myself. I'll let you know how they respond.

Yeh, cheers Rob, I do happen to know what a Texas Scramble is!... Knob.

As an alternative to best 2 out of 3 per hole, how about all 3 stableford points count but they are multiplied.

e.g. 3 net pars - 2x2x2 = 8

net birdie, net par, net par - 3x2x2 = 12

net birdie, net birdie, blob - 3x3x0 = 0

Can strain some friendships, I'm told.

Bores me to tears. I think it's the most boring format in golf. Perfect for Seniors who find it too much hard work to hit every shot

Too confusing Roger.
You might be brainy.
