Mini Winter Matchplay (2016/2017)
Options
-
04-11-2016 3:10pm#1Was talking to a few lads and we have decided to run the Mini Winter Matchplay event again - if we can get 6 to 8 lads from here. Ideally 8.
Basically a group of us did this a couple of years ago - based in Corballis for first round of 3 games - The Island was the Semi and Corballis was the final.
Golfgraffix hammered me in the final - but he has gone on to greater things captaining the Boards society to an epic victory in Jug.
So the deal is - matchplay based around the open on a Friday in Corballis , the day can shift based on weather and availability
It is a bit of fun , but a nice competitive edge . We all found it was great for our game the year we did it - you hit the real season running.
The downside is - it is winter , so takes a bit of flexibility and at times you face cold conditions.
We will be asking people to come forward that will be able to play the 3 games - from a work / weather / commitment perspective.
Last time we did it - the weather wasn't great - and it could drag on till march. Again it is only 3 games - to a max of 5.
We will try get a good course for semis and final , but in reality prices have gone up. So we will see how it goes . I'm happy anyway with Corballis.
It will be based on Links, unless another course is needed for geography / weather reasons.
A player can insist on a Links , the spirit of the events is Links - ( not just for me)
- but no, typically Corballis is like kryptonite to cold weather.
15 euro entry , with all money going back to 1st and 2nd place.
Will be fun / a social aspect and a hip flask at times.
I'd love to get the first round of matches done by end of november - and if weather ok round 2 by christmas break - we realistically could have a month break in january , but it is Ireland so - we will see.
Please thank this post if you are seriously interested - again , please know it is fun - but requires a small bit of commitment to play your 3 games. Typically the games will be played with a 2nd match or a 3 ball.
GUI and if no GUI - a society handicap with recent scores.

(Draft Rules)
Format
Matchplay - Handicap difference - low player to scratch - higher player to difference.
All matches in Round-Robin resulting in win is 1 point
All matches in Round-Robin ending in tie - will result in 1/2 a point each.
A loss is 0 points.
2 tables will be generated as below example from 2014 (sorry PAR
)
Played HD Points
FixdePitchmark 3 6 3
Golfgraffix 3 1 1.5
Pcasso 3 -3 1
PARlance 3 -4 0.5
Tie Break Rules at end of Round Robin.
The match result between the two individuals in question is first consideration.
If 3 or more players equal - Hole Difference will be used - example, a win 2&1 = +2 for winner and -2 for loser. - therefore actual result needed and losing by less could be important. Result to be posted in thread.
Semi Final is Winner from Group A , playing Runner up in Group B. you can only meet in a final for a 2nd time.
Semi final and final ending in tie - requires extra holes.
Placing as per white rules board outside clubhouse.
Additional Info
I will generate groups by an independent draw - when I get all 8 names - I will post the two groups up. A good starting point.
Again - a player may choose to enter the singles too - but it was found this can ruin the flow of matchplay. Certainly the observer if there is one - should if a 3 ball.0 -

I am hardly playing any golf these days and would probably embarass myself even more than last time but if you are stuck for a player I can help you make up the numbers Fix.
I won't take a place ahead of the regular boards golfers.
He started already lads.
No, you are a regular - anyway we will need the numbers. Everyone is welcome.
Great stuff.
You were a putt away from a semi last time.0 -

Great stuff lads we are done.
I'll give people the weekend to think it over.
Again - the fact it is 3 rounds in Corballis over winter. And the 3 matches must be played.
Then I will put up the groups Monday evening - drawn by my son and daughter.
Again - please consider that you can make the 3 matches - if you can't pm me and I'll open entry again.
Entry closed.
Matches can start Next week - Friday Morning 11th/November.
I'll be playing someone in my group next friday at 930 hrs.
Just like that, sorted - great stuff, well done all
.
It genuinely is a good laugh and great for your game - we all (most) dropped handicaps the year we did it.0 -

Jaysus - J sorry if true.
I think it was the shock of the hammering and my astonishment that your handicap was so high - as it transpires, my astonishment was dead right.
But I normally have a better memory than that.
It was something along the lines of - I paid for the round in the final - there is a recollection of a lunch and a 20 euro changing hands.
But I owe you 100s at this stage - so what is 50 quid between friends :P
Surprised you didn't call around to the house for that.
I'm out for serious revenge - but we may never meet at all. As you will hardly get out of group off a proper handicap. 0 -

I was jesting, it was aimed at Parlance.
Looking forward to this, it was good crack last time. It was a first seeing my aponant with a full pint of Guinness on the 10th tee. 0 -

No no no, I'm not looking to take anyone's spot at all, I wouldn't hear of it like that. Let's see how it pans out with numbers but I'd rather not just take your space like that.
Lads - go to PM and come back with one name between the 2 of ye.
I'll post groups assuming ye are both in - but come to a name by pm.
Groups done, to follow - great groups.0 -
