Mini Winter Matchplay Event

I'm in -

Will talk about options when we have 8.

Would need 8 fairly committed lads for option 1.
I guess lads could meet on the saturday or sunday to finish match they could not get done on the friday. Corballis is good that way and quick and in play in winter.

Also handy - as I can head in after 13 - 6 up .
Fighting talk - no, the last time I played matchplay there - your man played the golf of his life to win a dirty 2 euro of me - unreal stuff.


Will also go to Euro in March. Yes final there a good idea.
we could also have 3-4-5-6-7-8. Playoff

I am in

Defo in, depending on availability with work

I'd be interested Par, when are you thinking of having the first outing? Have exams coming up soon but after that I'm off for a month and will be East side for most of it.

Would like to play some more links over the winter; the waterproof sealant has worn off my shoes :pac:

Might also be able to spare €15 even though I'm a broke student

PARlance - realistically will we be starting mid january ?

Unless if we got one round done before Christmas - it would take pressure off next 8 weeks in Jan - Feb.

Looks like we have 5 sure - 2 open at this stage.

Need 8.

I'd say strike while the iron is hot Fix. If we can get one round done before crimbo it'd be good.
We'll be flexible, a game can be played at any time within reason.

Ok we will target Friday 12th to start ? - then if lads can't make that - they will try meet up and get their match done by new year. We will target new year with all one match done - again we will try play the same day - but not necessary ?

Again - Corballis - is quick - and so easy to get out on - even on a Friday and Saturday.

Ryainer will ask for a good rate. But - in fairness it is cheap as is.

Lads PARlance is busy enough this week and next - but asked me to push this on a bit. We are also seeing if matches can be started before the end of year -meaning we only have 2 matches to get done in 2 months next year.

As we stand we need 8 - The following have given strong indications that they can play 3 matches. I'll assume bellow are a yes unless I hear different by Friday evening.

PARlance
FixdePitchmark
Ryaner777
Golfgraffix
dar Cool
The Big Easy
Pcasso

The following a maybe

So round 1 (Round Robin) of two groups of 4 - all matches to be played in Corballis - preference is the Friday Open - enabling Qualifying Open Entry also.
Matches will be played in 4 ball if possible - 2 ball if required - 3 ball if non competing player - or member with no match.
If match can not be played on the Friday - the option is available to play on the Saturday or Sunday - or by arrangement between two parties.

Corballis rounds are quick - but all are reminded that you are committing to 3 rounds of golf there. It is a reasonable level of commitment - but you will have to get them completed by 1st march 2015 -1 match this year then 2 matches by march. So not too bad. But please consider.

15 euro entry per man ( 13 euro for The Big Easy - sponsored 1 euro each by Fix and PAR)
Details of prizes to be sorted out - but in general finalists will have a free and near free round (:p) in European Club for final in March.

Semi - is being considered for another course. Getting to a semi may be rewarded with a good deal in a good links.

(Draft Rules)
All matches n 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.
Incomplete match rule required prior to start.

Tie Break Rules at end of Round Robin to be formulated. The match result between the two individuals in question could be first consideration.
A 2nd option is match win loss hole difference over all matches.

Semi final and final ending in tie - requires extra holes.

I will generate groups using random function in Excel - when I get all 8 names - I will post the two groups up. A good starting point.

We could try target next Friday - but if not, matches will start Friday 19th.
If some people can play next Friday - may be no harm to start ?


To all outside of this - don't forget that all are welcome to outing in European Club in March. There may be a night out after this - but one step at a time

Deadly, fair play lads!!

Just in case it is a problem I cannot play Friday 19th.
I can however play Friday 12th and the rest of that weekend for that matter.
If this isn't a problem I am in.
Thanks for organizing this

Perfect.
Everybody will miss a Friday at some stage.

I've a feeling it will be 19th.

I'll be going 12 th. For a practice or match.


Things coming together.
Any other ideas forward.

I should be good for the 12th don't know about the 19th with work commitments

Haha, cheers Par and Fix for the sponsorship but you're not getting a cut of my winnings

The 19th suits me for the first match and if possible I'd like to get all three matches done before the end of January, as I have to head back down to Limerick for my final stretch in UL.

I see adverts has a 4 ball voucher for Royal County Dublin , might suit for the semi-finals?

I've been spending way more time on my golf game than my studies but fortunately my back is giving out so may take a rest now for the exams!

That is fine.
You will play 2 matches in normal way. But have to finish your 3rd match in your own time.

So lads 1 name to go.

up to ye who wants space.
Please pm each other who can play most on the Friday.

I'll post groups Friday
