Threes or fours in comps

[SwingsitlikeHogan]

3 balls in all individual stroke play comps.

We are having a Masters style par 3 competition on Wednesday evening that is going to be 6 balls. Technically will be 3 but playing foursomes so out as a 6 Should be good fun

Groups of 4 except for club championships and monthly medals (in summer), which are in groups of 3.
Almost all other regular comps (Stableford and Maximum Score) are played from the yellow tees for men, or winter tees.

Re the bit in bold, surely people should be picking up and NR’ing the hole if having a nightmare round.

If you NR too many times at our club, you'd be banned from comps.

Always 4s for us on both courses. not usually too much of a problem unless a lot of lost balls happen then it can be slow. if you want to run round go out at 7am otherwise accept that a 4 hour round is on the cards.

4 balls for us, mainly due to using buggies, doesn't make sense to do 3's

You can NR a hole but play the rest of the round okay. You would be out of the comp but the round would still count for h/c purposes. That should not get you banned as the ban, I suspect, is there to stop people trying to protect their h/c.

3 balls summer comps
4 balls winter comps

Why? You can NR on a hole and score on the rest.

Why? You can NR on a hole and score on the rest.

And you can NR on a hole and still score the best.

The ban I think is if you consistently don't put a card in.
