    Sorry folks I've been up to my eyes with work recently and haven't had a chance to follow up on hotel. As it happens, a lady rang me just before lunch from the hotel, I think she was worried we are a stag party!

    Anyway I told her a few of us might stay on the Friday also so she is boxing a few rooms off for us. She has asked me to make a single up front payment which is best all round, saves a lot of hassle, so I will sort that out and I can pass my bank details to you guys for transfers. I need to confirm with her by tomorrow.

    So as it stands, this is what I have for rooms. Who is on for Friday? I'll try contact you all individually shortly to confirm as I know you won't always be on boards 24/7. Actually might just do a whats app group to make it easy.

    Cheers Seve. As I mentioned I've a place booked for Friday close to Dooks already. But if there are enough numbers staying in killarney friday night & you're short 1 body to fill a room, I'll cancel my booking. Let me know asap so I can get the cancellation in before deadline

    Guesses on how many points will be needed to make the top 10?

    Also suggestion that dromoland the day before captains is a counting event for Jug points. But only if I do well, if I don't - then it doesn't count.

    500 points looks like a good target with 8 people having already reached that total. This is what the chasing pack need to reach 500 points:

    The Big Easy - Needs a top 9 finish
    princess poppy - Top 8
    OffalyMedic - Top 8
    Rainbow Warrior - Top 7
    Benny79 - Top 6
    Golfhead65 - Top 6
    Brian Rossiter - Top 3
    Macker1 - Top 3
    RoadRunner - Top 3
    Ballyman - Top 3
    WoodyG - Top 2
    Kilth - Top 2
    gypsy79 - Top 2
    FixdePitchmark - Top 2
    SeveOB - Top 2
    doublecross - Win

    I am away for Dooks but I return home that evening so should be able to play Ballyneety. I will take a look at their timesheet a few days beforehand and will probably join you if there is still a free spot.

    Junior and Intermediate Scratch Cups are on in Ballykisteen on Sunday the 22nd if anyone wants to stop there for a game instead of Ballyneety. Course is always in cracking shape for these events.

    Interesting. I applied my clubs golfer of the year to our results this season. Thinking it might improve my position.

    The points system used by boards doesn’t reward consistency. One win is worth 3 10th place finishes

    The system my club uses has 20 for winner and points differential according to how many shots behind winner

    It has weaknesses too. Because if someone has a blow away win like OS_Head in esker then points for everyone are considerably lower. I only played 5 events and two were massive wins so very few points in those. So my clubs system definitely favours players with bigger turn out

    Same leader by the way!! And just a bit fun

    Ah yeah but it's a lot harder to win than coast in around 10th each outing keeping your handicap and you get big cut for winning making it a lot harder to be consistent as you are playing probably a couple of shots worse off

    It was set up a few years ago and based on the fed ex cup points system.

    i notice that the only thank on your post is from slave.
    as he is new to the society this year he probably doesn't realise that instead of getting a crude 15mill the winner of the golfer of the year is honoured to be the one who has to buy everyone drink all night long :)

    Think they get the honour of sleeping on a bench rather than in a hotel room too

    Looking at the top of the board plus who's accepted to play in dooks (in teamer) There's only 4 people who can win the GOTY.

    Slave1 currently pos 1 on 717pts on the table but will have to discard current weakest score of 52pts to improve.
    Golfnut currently pos 2 648 current weakest score is 58pts. A win would give 815 total. 4th place could be enough which would give 725 total.
    bigchap currently 4th on 515pts. A win would give 740 total. (Only has 4 scores to date)
    alanm currently 8th on 500pts. A win would give 725 total. (Only has 4 scores to date)

    I just want to say thanks to Benny and Committee for all the organising you have done over the past year. I have thoroughly enjoyed the company and selection of courses. Shame I could't make the last 2 outings but I hope to join up next year.
