Woodhall Spa Final Thread

One more sleep..

Might have a session on the range today, then get clubs and trolley all cleaned up.

Hopefully if the rain holds off at the weekend I will bring out my new nike shoes for their maiden voyage!
 
With the likelihood being that we can't get anyone to fill the 2 spaces at this late stage, I'd like opinions on what to do with the format.

Is there a good way of levelling the playing field for a team of 3 in an Am/Am?

The only thing I could think of would be to let them play off full handicap, but that would only give one team 5 extra shots and one team 6.

The only alternative I can think of would be to change it to a pairs format for both rounds, putting a player from each 'short' team together.

Anyone have any other bright ideas?
 
Right thats me just about to head off down south, see you lot tomorrow;)

Might stop for a game when i get closer, but who knows what traffic i will hit down there.

Add the 3 scores together and divide by 3 to get an average score for the ghost player and add it?

Not sure that works with the am-am format and then betterball on the Sunday it definitely won't.


I assume we 'only' have 8 tee times and it's not going to be quiet so we couldn't get out as 10 threeballs!

I have checked the diary and we cant get out as 10 threeballs
 
just make it pairs and put the two singles together with a 2 ball at the front, much easier that way.
 
Plan B

In the absence of filling the spaces, here are your new tee times and pairs. There's only a couple of changes, just to put the 2 jilted people together and get a 2-ball off first.

If anyone has any problems with this please don't hesitate to get lost :ears: (j/k, please tell me really :))


Format will be 4BBB both days, best aggregate score wins.
Should there be any ties, best Sunday score wins, then countback Sunday, finally countback Saturday.

This change also now makes the hammer and Hooper roomies.

I assume you're ok with that guys?

Glyn thinks we will be able to get partial refunds for the 2 unfortunate ones, so a hotel room has to be cancelled unless you want to pay single supplements.
