THE CURTLEY CUP  (back to top)

 

Sunday, 14 May 2006

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 three player group is to have his tee shot used twice.

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 net score.

2.       The group with the lowest gross score will be acknowledged as having achieved exactly that on the day.

2006 Results:  A tie!!

The Beige Jacket   (back to top)

The Event:

The premier event on the SMERGS calendar

NINTH ANNUAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP

(hereinafter referred to as ‘The Championship’) for the

QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY REPUBLICAN TROPHY (the ‘BEIGE JACKET’)

ROYAL NORTHBRIDGE G.C. – Monday 12th June 2006

Order of Play

The Championship shall be played over 18 holes. The first tee will be available from 6.20 am. All competitors should be on the first tee for the ‘Call to Order’ by 6.15 am.

Groups shall be determined using the traditional SMERGS method.

 Players shall be required to contribute 3 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.

Events:

Club Champion        Winner: Net stroke score for 18 holes (Champion’s Beige Jacket plus x balls plus trophy)

Front 9                    Net stroke score (excluding winners of events 1 and 3)

Back 9                     Net stroke score (excluding winners of events 1 and 2)

NTP                         Hole # 5 and # 15

Longest drive          Hole # 14

Teams                     Based on average net score

Notes:   

 SMERGS handicaps current on the day of competition shall apply.

 In the event of a tie, the winner shall be determined by a countback based on the relative aggregates of groups of 3 holes.

Second 6 holes:       2 balls (best) of the 4 to count           (e.g. 5 pts per hole = 30)

Third 6 holes:            3 balls (best) of the 4 to count           (e.g. 8 pts per hole = 48)
