Well done to Jon Rahm for playing some excellent golf on the long final day to secure this year’s Masters. Richard Hogben must have been happy too as he had him in this year’s sweepstake.
The bad weather that disrupted the Masters also meant that the Frolic scheduled for Easter Monday had to be cancelled.
Callaway Demo Day
And talking of Jon Rahm, you may well be aware that he is a Callaway staff player,. As such, he is using the latest Paradym driver and fairways amongst other Callaway clubs.
This leads me nicely into reminding you that we have a demo day here on Friday 28th April. We still have some spots left. If you are interested in some new clubs for 2023, this is a great opportunity to have a go with them under the watchful eye of master fitter, Tom Gradwell.
Junior Stableford (Front 9)
The junor stableford on Saturday did go ahead though and Sam Morris won with 13 points. Ollie Grieves scored the ame number of points but was beaten on a card play off.
Snips from Greens – Scorecards and Maximum Scores in Medal Competitions
In order to ensure that cards can be easily checked at the end of a competition players should only mark the gross score of the person they are marking for in column A together with their own score as Marker in column D. No other players scores should be recorded on an individual’s card.
During this year’s Medal competitions we will again be implementing the ‘Maximum Score’ competition format to help ensure a prompt pace of play. This establishes a maximum score for each hole of 5 over par. Players who have not yet holed out after playing that number of shots must pick up and continue with their round.
As you mark your card, please indicate where you have picked up by placing a square around the score for that hole. This information will be used to aid in tie-resolution in the event of any card play-off. You must gain confirmation from your marker that your score is correctly recorded before submitting it.
A properly completed card should look like this (apologies Dave for using your scorecard label in this example, as we all know you would always score far better than this!!)
Hole #4 – Player has hit 8 shots and has not yet holed his/her ball, so he/she picks up and moves on to hole #5.
Hole #7 – Player has hit 9 shots and has not yet holed his/her ball, so he/she picks up and moves on to hole #8.
Hole #9 – Player holes out with his/her 9th shot (no square needed).
