Tash arranged a 48 day comp today. Format was a four man team, best 2 from 4. All to score on the 18th. Play off white, yellow, red. Repeat. yellow tee handicap. Alongside this was an individual comp. For the first time this year without telling anyone I had a worst prize for the lowest score. I never told anyone as it is not all about the winning but everyone having a chance. EG,No longest drive, nearest the shortest par four in two etc.

However two lads shot 24 points. So how how would you determine who is the worst. If it’s 36 points that’s won on count-back, you would do the best back 3,6 or nine. But would you have the highest back nine to win with the worst score or the worst back nine. There was 48 of us there and we didn’t know.

We gave it to the 4 handicapper who plays at Worksop who said out greens were brutal. He was ripped to bits. Funnily enough there was £10 prize money left over so a card Was pulled out and player C in the team won the £10. It was him. He really got some serious leg pulling.

I'd go for the usual countback as is the norm for a tiebreaker

After all it's still to see who wins a 'prize' or title (even if undesired)

Reverse count back surely? Who did the worst over the last few holes etc as it's for worst player

As per Slab's post, presumably just do a normal countback? That will separate the two players - with one being above the other. The one at the bottom gets the 'worst score' prize.

I like that, perhaps we should rename the gross prize as "The Least Golf Trophy'.

Most lost balls ? As some sort of financial recompense.

Wish I had thought of that, I lost four in total, three in three holes. Two in two shots in the water.

I feel your pain combination of hard bumpy fairways and thick rough mean any ball is a temporary possession at the moment and normally I'm too short to lose many.

That a seriously long comp Tash.

That a seriously long comp Tash.

It works really well. Most of the guys are over 60. The yellow and red tees help. But oddly enough. Some of the guys struggles off the red tees. Thinking I can cut a corner. Hit it longer. It never happened
