This time next week us young whippersnappers will be celebrating a victorious first day!
This week needs to pass nice and quickly, had a round in last night and bar 4 disastrous holes played some really good golf, had my first chip in eagle too so it's all coming together nicely!

This seems to be quite important so I just had another look at the "white" shirt that I bought specifically for this event, which was described on the website as white. But every time I look at it it seems to be more yellow (and I've not worn it yet before anybody says anything
) .So in order not to upset our esteemed Captain I'll not be wearing this pristine example of style and class, instead I'll wear an old white Umbro shirt that I just found after much rummaging around at the bottom of the wardrobe, a lot more in keeping with "Old Fart Elegance".

Since I am in this match, can I ask what might be a dumb question...
If Teegirl scores a birdie 4 on what is a par 5 for her and I make a 4 on the same hole which is a par 4 for me, is it a half in 4's or does the birdie win?
With a mug of warm milk before a nice bedtime story...?

Tee girl wins the hole (the ladies card will have their own stroke index's for their tee's)

The last known CONGU recommendation is that the SI appropriate to either the Men's or Ladies' course is used for both sets of players. Given that there are 3 men and 1 lady involved, I would suggest that the mens card is appropriate for all 4 players. Teegirl has been awarded 4 strokes for the difference between the mens and ladies course.

Since I posted, I found this on the England Golf website.
It's out of date as it mentions 3/4 allowance but is the bold bit still true?
Im assuming the difference in par is taken care of within the 4 strokes added?

As its match play, surely the par of the hole is irrelevant anyway, just the best nett on hole wins, with Teegirl using the men's SI
A 4 is a 4

My opinion would be to use the mens card after the 4 shot additional strokes for SSS difference is applied. As long as you agree, no problem - after all it's only a fun game and you should be acing like a gentleman.

Thanks. Just want to get it straight in my head before we get there, as confusion normally reigns when you try to sort it out on the first tee.
Having said that, I'm sure Jan will have come across the situation before and will know what to do anyway.
