Will sort it next week Rob when I pay myself some wages if that's ok

So, to save me wading back, what is the format for golf, how are we, the youngsters, going to humiliate Smiffy and the old gits?

Haven't made a final decision yet Chris.
Initial plan was to hold a "Ryder Cup" type of competition, singles and betterball matchplay.
But the only "problem" with that is in betterball, if your partner has made birdie, it makes your own putt for par pretty irrelevant.
So another option is to have a team stableford, where all players scores count. This would at least keep the interest going throughout the four rounds.
I'm open to suggestions

It's always difficult to mix medal/stableford and singles/betterball - maybe that's why they can't be played at the same time. :mmm:

Agree with "Ryder cup" comp but there's no need for all four rounds to be part of it; then an individual comp can be held as well.
E.g One/two round(s) betterball, two/one of singles (for ryder/team comp) and one round medal/stableford for individual comp.
OR Stableford, betterball, singles and stableford - team comp sandwiched by individual comp.

I particularly like the team comp - it gives me a chance to win something even when playing like a drongo!

BTW a tie in the "Ryder Cup" comp should be decided on total holes up for the team/ margin of victory methinks, so 3&2 beats 2&1 etc.

Smiffy, I'd be willing to do the scoring, if you want some extra beauty sleep.

I personally think that in the event of a tie, all competitors must drop their trolleys and the winners are the team with the most inches of "gentlemens sausage".
With a following wind and an hour or two on "You Porn" I reckon my 2" pork sword (aka beef bung) could work to our advantage.

Great plan Rob ....... you've never seen my handicap then?

I hope Fish recovers in time for Gainsborough but, if he doesn't, you could take his place. You'd then be able to see them "in the flesh".

Really looking forward to this, the only break I'll get in 2015!

As for format, I'd say a mixture of individual stableford, doubles matchplay and singles matchplay would be good.

A wee issue may be that check in isn't until 2pm, but I'd hope that The George will allow us to stroll in late.

Another aside: I know I have 'claimed' a single room and now that Fish has chopped his hand off, there's another one available so I'd suggest a first-shout-first-gets policy for this one.

Lastly, if anyone from The Away team is of the same mindset, I was thinking about dumping the car off at The George around 1230pm and getting a taxi to and from Gainsborough so I can have a tipple after the golf.

 

[chrisd]

Id like a single if it's possible

Let's hope that you make it Robin

I had no idea you'd be in play for this trip Fish! Hopefully you can come along, would be good to hang out again.

Oh dear Dave,that Fish bloke will lead you very much astray. He will introduce you to the evils of alcohol as well as the perils of bum achingly hot curry. Stay away from him, have pots of tea for two and a bacon bap with ketchup and you will survive the trip intact!
