The Royal Northbridge S.M.E.R.G.S. (back to top)
Sunday,
2
May 2004THE TOURNAMENT:
Teams of 3
or 4 to play an ambrose event over nine holes.
The handicaps are to be added and then divided by the number of players in
the group times two (ie
3 players,
divide by 6).
Each
player in a four player group must have his drive used twice except one player
selected at the beginning (with normal SMERGS diplomacy) must use three drives;
in a three player group each player is to have his tee shot used three times.
Each player is to put in one brand new boxed ball in accordance with the definition as defined by the SMERGS match playing committee.
No loss of handicap considering measly number of golf balls submitted!
THE WINNERS:
1.
The winning group will be
determined by the lowest nett score. –
2.
The group with the lowest gross
score will be acknowledged as having achieved exactly that on the day. –

The
Event:
The premier event on the SMERGS calendar
SEVENTH ANNUAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
(hereinafter referred to as ‘The
Championship’) for the
QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY REPUBLICAN
TROPHY (the ‘BEIGE JACKET’)
ROYAL NORTHBRIDGE G.C. – Monday 14th
June 2004
Order of Play
The Championship shall be played over 18 holes. The first tee will be available from 6.50 am. All competitors should be on the first tee for the ‘Call to Order’ by 6.30 am.
Groups shall be determined using the traditional SMERGS method.
Players shall be required to contribute 2 new individually-boxed golf balls each (balls to match the boxes, please; Rockets acceptable) by way of entry fee.
Because members have experienced some embarrassment (even felt really stupid) in the singing of the SMERGS song (especially near a main thoroughfare), this will NOT be part of the proceedings. Instead, each member shall recite (sotto voce if preferred) "I still call Northbridge home" as he tees his ball on the first tee.
Play shall be from the blue tees.
