Game Rules for 4B Scramble Yellow Ball After
a bit of deliberation, we have come up with the rules for this game. It has
been decided to keep it simple and in order to make the yellow ball to have
any significance, it will be Stableford rather than Medal format. All 4
players drive with player A driving with the yellow ball on holes 1, 5, 9, 13
& 17, player B holes 2,6,10, 14 & 18, player C holes 3,7,11 & 15
and finally player D holes 4, 8, 12 & 16. (Players A,B,C & D as
drawn). Yellow ball scores double and each ball returned gets an additional
point added to the total score. HANDICAP ALLOWANCE of 1/10th COMBINED HANDICAPS |
|
Thus to clarify a little - the Yellow Ball replaces the stipulation in normal games for each player to take a certain number of Drives. If you all move to where the yellow ball lands off the tee shot , then you qualify for double points on that hole. If the YB drive is not good, and you opt to take a much better tee-shot - then you give up the chance of double points on that hole.
JKP had a stab at how he would do the Score Card...
So on Hole 1, Rod is Player A and has the yellow. We take his Drive and make Par. Stroke Index is 5, so with our allowance we get a shot, so it is a 5 for Three, but because the Yellow was used, this is doubled to 6 Points.
Hole 2, again a par with the Yellow, but stroke Index 9 so no shot- 3 for two is doubled to Four.
Hole 3, Pearce cocks up the Drive, so we take Rods Drive and it's a simple Bogey for 2 Points.
As explained above, the Yellow Ball should be looked after carefully , but we'll leave it to you to work out what this means....
It is very helpful, when cards are being checked to record whose drive is used, by simply placing the gross under their column - thank, actually it is probably the only way as if you put them all under column A, makes it a lot of work to figure out by checker.
In future ( if we ever play this again) - maybe consider 17 & 18 being 'Free' Holes where everyone who has a Yellow can drive with it and chose whichever ball you wish with chance of doubling etc - so everyone just has 4 holes with Yellow, plus the 2 bonus holes.

Canadian
Greensomes Trophy Wednesday 9th September 2020
After some confusion regarding the handicap allowances,
it was established that the CST system only offered 60% & 40% allocations
for the high and low handicaps in Greensomes games. Since this was not in
compliance with the traditional rules applied by the seniors over the years, we
decided to go with the traditions and run the game manually rather than through
the club system. We had a new member who introduced himself by putting the ball
on the 1st green 4 ft away from the pin in 2 and all Chris Gingell
had to do is sink it for an Eagle which he coolly did. Ian’s response was “I
don’t play like this all the time” which I can confirm. He had 4 bad shots in total. LOL
We had 50 participants in today’s trophy event and apart
from a handful of below par performances the rest had pretty good scores for
their efforts. The winners of course were my playing partners Ian & Chris
with 45 points followed by The usual suspect Mugridge/Twose combinations with
44 and another pair playing well in recent weeks Brent/Blackburn with 43. Well
done to the winners.
Results in Playing Order.
