European Tour

Paul Waring had another great finish in Morocco last week coming very close to winning again which hopefully wont be to far away. His 3rd place finish now assures his card for next year meaning he can now relax and press onto the next level and i'm sure a win wont be too far round the corner as the more often he gets in a position to win the more comfortable he will feel.

Back here at Bromborough we could do with some warm weather to get the grass on the greens growing with the Major events starting soon.

Summer League 9 Hole 4BBB Competition

Trial run for 2017

Entry deadline 30 April

Initial ideas, very similar to our current Winter League competition, with a few amendments.

9 hole better ball match play competition run in leagues initially, moving to knockout for the final stages. 

9 holes easily allows members who work until late to still play and finish their match before sun down. As most Saturdays have competitions in the summer, entries are invited from 6 and 7 day members.

Matches to be played over the front 9 holes. This may well mean that some members may miss out on their shot allocations, but if this is accepted by member before signing up to the competition, it enables us to run with the 9 hole concept.

Matches can be played at any time. Simply up to a member from each team to organise a convenient time for all four members to play.

Usual handicap rules apply. 9/10ths of the difference to the lowest player.

We will try to run with at least 4 leagues starting May 6. The maximum per league will be 5 teams, so the number of leagues very much depends on the interest shown by members.

The winner and runner up from each league will qualify to go through to the knockout stages.

There will be prizes for the winner and runner up of the competition.

There will be completion dates for the league matches, and each stage of the knock out stages. We are looking at putting the final during an evening in the first week of September. There will be a referee for the final. Dates and details will be put on the league sheets posted on the notice board.

Matches tied after 9 holes in the knock out stages will continue to hole 10, 11 etc on a sudden death basis. Strokes will be received on the same basis as the course Stroke Table.

Entry fee for the competition is £5. You will need to complete an envelope with your names and "summer league", and then give the envelope to Geoff Berry (Geoff has a supply of envelopes).
