West Lancs meet Sunday 24th February

[Birchy]

Right people theres 16 of us on this meet, what is your preffered format/groups? Do you just want me to draw names and have singles stableford etc or do you want pairs or team etc etc.

Any ideas/thoughts? Will be sorting the details over next day or three

 

[Qwerty]

I'm easy on format.
There could be a few Regional teams in that lot though... Lancs, Scotland, Liverpool, Manchester/Cheshire

Id say still draw the 4 balls though... Just an idea.

Edit- Whatever's easiest for you on the day Birchy:thup:

 

[louise_a]

Whatever you want Scott.

 

[Yerman]

Happy with any but just to make a positive suggestion which you can feel free to ignore:
Individual Stableford and a 4BBB best 2 scores on each hole between the four groups.

What time are we due to tee off?

 

[Birchy]

Our tee times are 11:00 - 11:22.

The regional team thing could be a laugh if people fancied it.

Yerman it would probably be a struggle to have two comps as with a fiver each prize fund that only makes £80 to play with and the prizes could end up being a pencil each

Will see what any of the others suggest on here and take it from there.

I'd have to be adopted for the day

 

[Birchy]

I'd have to be adopted for the day

Like a fish out of water . Im sure a team would love to adopt a Fish. Thats if that idea is a goer

 

[Karl102]

I don't mind pal.... Quite like the regional idea though....

 

[bluewolf]

Im easy mate. Just looking forward to playing from proper tees and off fairways rather than mats. Everything else is a bonus.

 

[Liverbirdie]

I'd have to be adopted for the day

I've heard of adopting a Bengal tiger or a Panda, but a fish? Unless your a special fish. Are you a puffa fish, or is that just an unfounded rumour.

Possible preliminary teams that I can see are:-

Mickeys

Me
Stu
Scouser
Karl102 (love it)

Jocks

Val
Craw
NW Jocko
HDID kenny?

Lancashire hotpots
Qwerty
Louise
Bluewolf
Birchy

Shameless (greater manchester)

Junior
Karl102 - unless he's in the scouse and adopted scouse team
Birchy

So, we have 1 or 2 that can be in more than one team, is there any other possible teams I've missed out and where does the loyalties/bloodline of Fish, Splash,HDID Kenny lie?

If we do sort out four teams, what about a stableford, as follows:-

Team prize:- Best 2 scores (first six holes), best 3 scores (middle six holes) all 4 scores on the last six holes.

£5 in - winning team takes all

Individual prizes:- Best nett medal score, best stableford score (it goes to second place, if the same individual and a nearest the pin).

£5 in - £ 2.50 each for the best nett medal, £1.50 each for the best stableford, £1 each in the nearest the pin

Total £10 each

Winning team wins £80
Individual best nett medal wins £40
Individual best stableford wins £24
nearest the pin wins £16

Just my suggestion, anyway.

I think HDID Kenny is a scottie too? Hes a member of a scottish course according to his signature

 

[Qwerty]

... Quite like the regional idea though....

Are you sure Karl?

 

[thecraw]

I wouldn't bother with prizes mate.

A £5 sweep will suffice in my opinion. In February I'd knock the individual scores on the head and go for Team Stableford with best 2 scores out of the 4 going on the card.

As much as I would love to play as part of Team Jock I don't rally want to travel to Engurland to play with Val and HDID (I can arrange a game with them up here any time) I'd much rather get to play with a few of you southern softies and put some faces to alter egos. I would do a balls in the hat draw out 4 balls on the day.

Just my tuppence worth and I will happily go with the flow.

A ten spot WTF!!!!

I'm tighter than 2 coats of paint and would be in danger of letting my moth collection out of my wallet if I was to let a brown note out!


I'm going to specifically ensure that I have a Scottish note just to cause you problems!

Thats the one thing i thought about regional teams that might not go down well with people wanting to play with different players etc.

I think the format that LB put forward looks like a bit of fun though

 

[splashtryagain]

Yorkshire - count my score twice
Or Lancashire as I do live there.
Alternatively I'm not too bothered, happy to make up the numbers on whichever team needs an extra.

I must admit, the downside was playing with lads who I've already played with lots, so craw is right.

I'd rather play with some I've not met before, than with the other Scousers - no offence.

We could still have 4 regional teams, 1 in each group, total that teams 4 stableford scores up, biggest total wins.

so we don't get Scottish fivers what about:-

£6 each

£4 in the team pot

£1 each goes to the best stableford scorer

£1 to the nearest the pin winner

Craw can pay in Pictish groats.

Any other formats - Birchy can pick the final option.

Craw will be paying with ginger bottles!!!

 

[Val]

Teh regional thing is all good on paper but as craw said I can play with him or Kenny whenever I like and it would be better to mix things up.

£10 a nut for a sweep is heavy given we've already £25 still to pay plus grub not to mention the 200+ miles travelling for us guys.

My suggestion would be £3 a head, team stableford with 2 best scores from 4 at every hole. Prize for 1st team of £32 then a prize for top individual score of £16.

MY calcs assume we have 16 players, if not just go £2 a head top individual score getting 75% of the fund and second place getting 25%.

Just some ideas
