THE CURTLEY CUP

Sunday, 2 May 2004

THE 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.

Play this year included net

 SMERGS handicaps current on the day of competition shall apply.
