    Gimmes allowed, pick the ball up and move on and mark up your card/points.

    If we're talking about individual stableford scores. Then, is the assumption that a given putt for a net par gives you 2 points then? Or should we be looking at people holing out for every shot that would score you points?

    I know that when we played this last year we had a bit of a debate about it in our 4-ball around whether we should be conceding putts given there was a competition around individual stableford scores

    anything inside a putter length to be given as a gimme would seem sensible to keep the pace of play going?

    Putter length, or putter-grip length (digs out the long putter :D)

    I think anything given for the matchplay should be considered given for the stableford. After all, it not a counting event, it's only a bit of craic

    By the way if we end up with an odd number I would propose the team with 2 players should have to alternate holes, ie player A competes on odd number holes against player C and player B will compete on even number holes against player C.

    Sounds fair. Works for me Seve.

    Captain, I know that last year we did a lottery to create a singles score (randomly draw one Dub Card, randomly draw one Culchie Card, best stableford score wins a point) so that there were fourball & singles matches.

    Thinking of doing the same this year?

    Makes the overall score look a bit more substantial, since you'll have 15 potential points available rather than 5.

    It'll keep the culchies interested too, after they've lost all their fourball matches by the 14th hole :D

    Yeah I actually forgot about that last year, we could possibly do that if everyone is happy to do that ? Potentially we could lose all matches and still win 10-5 :)

    I know I’m on a roof this morning:):) the forecast was to freeze hard last night and not too bad tomorrow. I’ll check it tonight again but as far as I’m concerned it’s going ahead.

    Lads Corballis doesn’t have a resteraunt but they recommend a hotel 2 mins from the course if people want to go there after the round. (I only found that out today).

    I had breakfast there on my first Boards outing to Corballis, decent food for relatively small money.

    Are we still short one body?

    From yesterday, we're down Golfgraffix & TheChamp, with Pearsefitz stepping in for one of them.

    Forecast for tomorrow looking a bit soggy at the moment. Cooler than today, but with light winds

    Hey lads unfortunately today I woke up with a fever and sore throat and legs feeling like jelly.

    I don't think I will be able to make it tomorrow. I was so looking forward to playing corballis :(

    Enjoy the day lads, see you next time.
