2013 - State v. State SUPER SATURDAY Challenge -

[popper81]

Ok everyone, I have decided to go ahead with the STATE v. STATE SUPER SATURDAY CHALLANGE concept. The format will be as follows:

The first Saturday of every month will be considered SUPER SATURDAY. On SUPER SATURDAY the 10 best scores from the collective ozgolf community will be collated, and prize money awarded to the states they wish to represent. The prize money will be awarded as follows:

1st = $1,000,000
2nd = $900,000
3rd = $800,000
4th = $700,000
5th = $600,000
6th = $500,000
7th = $400,000
8th = $300,000
9th = $200,000
10th & ties = $100,000

All ties will be decided on count back, except for 10th place and ties, who will be ALL awarded 1 point.

The overall winner for the month will be ozgolf's MONTHLY MUG winner.

The rules are as follows:

1. As the organiser, my decision is final.
2. I have the right to change the rules as the event progresses.
3. Entrants may need to provide photographic evidence of their competition cards, if required.
4. As the event is on most clubs monthly medal day, it will be a stroke competition. If your club is different, and plays stableford, you're still eligible to enter.
5. Entries close at 9pm QLD time the Sunday after SUPER SATURDAY. Any entries submitted after this will not be collated.
6. There is no requirement to play every month, and cards only need to be entered if you believe they are worthy of a winning a point. Bear in mind, we are all choppers, and it won't surprise me if 73/74 gets paid some months.
7. This event is considered to be fun. Please ensure that this thread is maintained with in the spirit in which it was started.
8. For the purpose of this competition, NT & ACT will be listed as one state.
9. 2 March 2013, will be the first SUPER SATURDAY for 2013.
10. 7 December 2013, will be the final SUPER SATURDAY for 2013. It will also be DOUBLE POINTS.
11. Monthly winners & points will be awarded in updated ASAP, once entries close.

[Captain Nemo]

Im in...

[popper81]

Yes Courty.... you can go with the ACT ;)

[PeteyD]

Question, can we use the Friday round back marker instead IF we can not play the saturday?

[Monsta]

"8. For the purpose of this competition, NT & ACT will be listed as one state."


Jeez Popper, cant see our state ever winning this, we will be like NSW in the State of Origin

[popper81]

Question, can we use the Friday round back marker instead IF we can not play the saturday?

No. SUPER SATURDAY only. Otherwise it becomes too hard. If I say yes to friday, I will have to say yes to Wednesday. Next thing, it is a week long festival of golf.

[popper81]

"8. For the purpose of this competition, NT & ACT will be listed as one state."


Jeez Popper, cant see our state ever winning this, we will be like NSW in the State of Origin

You have two options:

1. Play for a different state.

Or

2. Play better golf.

[Marto65]

Will be in this in the future Pops ...

We have a foresomes on this weekend, so I'm out.

Will play for NSW too...

[sms316]

Go Yoss!

[BenM]

I will be in, just for a laugh... considering there are not many Taswegians on here. Might have to nominate for Vic (even though Tassie is better) :)

[Monsta]

How many NT guys are on here?

[WBennett]

Ben is a Canberra Lad. Remember, its Origin. You are one of us!

I'm in Poopsicle. I have now blown out to 11, one week too late....

[dc68]

In.

[sms316]

In. Who are you playing for?

[Johnny Canuck]

I will play for QLD. We only have about 2 wankers that play on sat.

[hocko]

Then we need all the numbers we can!

[haysey]

I'll put my hand up.

[PeteyD]

Thats 13 minutes of silence Bob ... and counting ...

[BenM]

Ben is a Canberra Lad. Remember, its Origin. You are one of us!

I'm in Poopsicle. I have now blown out to 11, one week too late....

I'm happy to be a Canberra lad for this.

But this is not origin... I lived in Brisbane before Canberra and have supported the Broncos and the Maroons since 1988! No wonder I am confused about where my life is headed... :p

[Marto65]

and have supported the Broncos and the Maroons since 1988!

That explains a lot .... ;)

[Courty]

Does any state want me?

State of confusion?

[Lagerlover]

... and us South Ostrarlians??

[BenM]

That explains a lot .... ;)

Like why I remember what it's like to win a SOO?

[LeftyHoges]

I'm in, but I work the first Saturday of every month so you'll rarely see me post a score.

I am actually playing this Saturday though due to 2nd round of club champs.

[Hatchman]

I'm in for S.A

[Dotty]

I'm in for NSW.

[JADO75]

[Ronny]

Although I think I'll need the floaties this weekend!

[freddy a]

Coun't me in for QLD

[Veefore]

I'm hoping to play in more than 1 monthly mug this year so I'll go in for best australia.

oops.. West. :)

I'm sure veeman and TWM could be convinced to join in.

[hocko]

So we have me, JC and V4 thus far.

[simmsy]

I hate not playing Saturdays.
Idg plays sat. Shadesy too.

[popper81]

Remember lads.... Just nominate the group you want to play for WHEN YOU PM ME THE SCORE... I am not keeping track of your nominations in anyway at present.

FWIW- I may play for the WA boys, on the mother/son rule.

[veeman]

I am in for Wa

[Waddzy]

Ill be in for QLD , although I wouldnt be counting on any scores making the leader board =P~...

Im guessing it has to be played off the blue markers too? being monthly medals on first saturdays?

[sms316]

Monthly medal cancelled at PW and running a stableford instead (probably belongs in the bemused thread).

[popper81]

It won't matter...what tees or what comp.

I will adjust it back scores with ACR etc.

[IanO]

In for Vic

[hocko]

Remember lads.... Just nominate the group you want to play for WHEN YOU PM ME THE SCORE... I am not keeping track of your nominations in anyway at present.

Welcome aboard poops

Welcome aboard poops

Thanks...

[Webster]

How does someone playing stroke compete against someone playing par? Most first Sats at decents clubs will be stroke/monthly medal.

[popper81]

How does someone playing stroke compete against someone playing par? Most first Sats at decents clubs will be stroke/monthly medal.

In real golf terms, poorly... For the purpose of this competition, and to make things simple... EASILY.

[Webster]

So if I have net 72 with 8 birdies, and eagle and 3 doubles a bogey and a triple what score do I get (playing off scratch) compared to an 18 marker who has +1 playing against par with 5 "misses"?

[sms316]

Who are you playing for Jack?

[popper81]

Jack, dependant on the ACR you get 72. He gets 73. This is flawed... I am aware, but otherwise it is :

A) too much work

B) too much work

C) too much work

It is a bit of of silly fun. If that doesn't work for you, maybe this is not for you.

[PeteyD]

+1 in par would be 71?

[popper81]

+1 in par would be 71?

I use a different scoring system.

Or..

I have no idea.

[Webster]

popper, the answer is that you need to convert all scores to stableford, with an adjustment for ACR, otherwise its unfair against the stroke players, and probably advantageous to the blokes playing par (especially the choppers). My score in post 56 would be 38 points (par and ACR same).

[popper81]

Fair point... In the long run, it will be better.

Jack, you are a man of the people.


EVERYONE -PLEASE NOTE - ALL SCORES WILL NEED TO GE SUBMITTED IN STABLEFORD FORMAT.

[Webster]

Popper, no problem. I spend a lot of my time helping the less fortunate ones amongst us, might as well include you as well.

[Lagerlover]

EVERYONE -PLEASE NOT ALL SCORES WILL NEED TO GE SUBMITTED IN STABLEFORD FORMAT.

"NOT" or NOTE??

[popper81]

"NOT" or NOTE??

Thank you-

[Lagerlover]

EVERYONE -PLEASE NOTE - ALL SCORES WILL NEED TO GE SUBMITTED IN STABLEFORD FORMAT.

"GE" or BE??

[WBennett]

Good news. It's not raining. Bad news. There is a 40k easterly so it's about two degrees and ****ing freezing. Fun fun fun.

[Daves]

Do non handicapped rounds count? I am supposed to be playing the Medal today, but it is going to be Tee up and Bunkers out of play. It looks like it is going to be rained out, but you never know.

[Marto65]

We have a qualifying round on for a foresomes tourney. My partner is off the same handicap. Does that count?

[Dotty]

PM sent.

Watch out if anyone is tied with me. Two-thirds of my points were on the back nine.

[Webster]

Is there weekly prize ?

[markTHEblake]

How many NT guys are on here?I completed 0/3 of the mandatory qualifications to be a territorian, but I did go fishing once, went shooting a lot, and there was a near incident at a nightclub ( it was dark!) so perhaps tht might be considered making an effort. However I did get married there and my daughter was born there so I guess I could qualify.

[Johnny Canuck]

14 after 14. Booyaa. Must get 20.

[dc68]

Can I count the beers I'm drinking @ Chalk?

[Courty]

PM sent for myself, Solarman & Haysey.

Tomson did play in another group this morning but not sure if he's seen this thread.

Pm sent for Nsw

[PeteyD]

No PM sent for SEQ

[Webster]

PM sent for VIC

[sms316]

Go Yoss!

[sms316]

[CanuckDownUnder]

I'm in

[Johnny Canuck]

Well? 4 par finish for 22. Brought total to 6 pars on the day.

[popper81]

Entries close for this round at midnight tonight... I suggest getting your scores in.... at this stages people of might earning $$$ with 30 points. :(

Please follow this format:
Name
State you wish to represent
Golflink number
Course played
Par
ACR
Stableford score


Also, OP updated. I have removed the points system and replaced with prizemoney. 1st place will be decided via countback, the rest will be awarded prizemoney as per tour rules. ( This removes the need for countbacks for 8th place ;) )

Thanks to all those that entered so far. If nothing changes, the ACT may will be leading..:shock:

[Johnny Canuck]

I don't think you really need my details this week, unless the were only 11 of us and Solarman was one of them.

[popper81]

Hahaha... Solarman maybe getting paid. It is that scary :)

[Veefore]

I kinda feel bad about not finishing my round yesterday now. Anyway, I'll PM TWM and Veeman's results to you.

[sms316]

The anticipation is killing me.

[Dotty]

The anticipation is killing me.
From the very first post, we all know that Monsta65 has won this.

Well played mate, the ACT boys are leading the way.

BTW - GO QLD ( going to need a big few months to catch up)

Overall, we had 16 entrants.

CONGRATULATIONS to Solarman - the only man to get 5th place, and the NAGA in one round.

[wazandnic]

Hey Pop's,

Just clarifying this for future months as I am curious how the stableford score is calculated and what proof you need. I didn't submit my card this weekend for two reasons a) it wasn't updated on golflink until today :( and b) my stroke score gave a nett 6 over, so didn't think it would have any value...

However and this is where it gets interesting... 6 over should equate to 30 points... but I actually had 2 quads in my round. So say I was playing a stabelford instead of the stroke, these quads could have been considered doubles (i.e. wipes) and so really if I was playing stableford on Saturday I would have had a nett 2 over the handicap or 34 points. Thus the quandry... should I have submitted 30 points (stroke equivalent stableford scorer) OR 34 points (actual stableford score I would have had if playing stableford) and thus what proof is needed???

Not stirring just curious.

Cheers,
Waz

[Courty]

I would assume the intention is to calculate the Stableford score on a hole-by-hole basis. That's what I did.

[Monsta]

From the very first post, we all know that Monsta65 has won this.

He's the new DC.

Not sure if that is a compliment or insult Dotty.........

[popper81]

Waz,

Valid questions.... and quite possibly ones that others have as well.

The intention was for it to be a stroke based competition, but as Jack alluded to, it wasn't the fairest way to do it. It is now based on the Stableford scoring system.

In your example, you would have submitted a score of 34 points.

As for what proof is needed.... being that we are all friends and this comps is a little bit of fun, not much. I expect everyone would be able to produce photographic evidence of their cards if required. A count back will used to determine overall monthly winners, so in that cirumstance, a card would be need to be viewed, or verified.

Also, please note that I have adjusted some stableford scores depending or ACR rating. If you scored 36 points in stableford, your PAR was 72, but the course was rated 71, then I have adjusted the score to 35 stableford points.

It is important to remember, this is a bit of fun.... and my first time doing anything likethis. I am happy to listen to suggestions, on how WE can do it BETTER, so that all ozgolfers can enjoy.

Hope this helps,

Popper

[Monsta]

Popper,

Will there be a "race to Dubai" style comp at the end of the year for the top money earners? (Not that I expect to be anywhere near the top by December)

[Courty]

CONGRATULATIONS to Solarman - the only man to get 5th place, and the NAGA in one round.

I hear no one has ever won the State vs. State/ NAGA double before. ;)

In other news, Solarman also won Best Gross for C Grade for this round. Although, in reality, I can't see how it could have gone any other way... there's no one in the club who is as gross as him. :p

[Dotty]

Popper,

We can combine it with Benno's ACT Christmas Classic ... Race to Gungahlin!

(The rest of us are playing for second place anyway. ;) )

I'm playing this Saturday. I just need to decide who I play for. Or maybe I should do a poll to see who wants me on their side the least, so I don't have any say in the matter and end up on the loser team.

[Monsta]

I will be the lone representative for the ACT for this tomorrow Popper...

[Marto65]

I think BenM has ruffled your feathers... You ok, big guy?

Nup ... need a hug ... where r u mate?

[Courty]

I'm in tomorrow for NQ.

[Marto65]

I'll be in for NSW

[Waddzy]

Ill be in for QLD but if I hit them like I did today I might just pretend I'm from ACT....

[backintheswing]

I am in for NQ.

[Courty]

I am in for NQ.

Hooray!

I'd also like to nominate Haysey & Solarman's round tomorrow morning for NQ.

[sms316]

Why are you dribblers nominating?


6. There is no requirement to play every month, and cards only need to be entered if you believe they are worthy of a winning a point. Bear in mind, we are all choppers, and it won't surprise me if 73/74 gets paid some months.

[Marto65]

Just shouting allegiances again ...

[Hatchman]

I'm in for S.A

[AndyP]

I'll play tomorrow and then decide. Good score - Vic, Bad score - Qld.
Qld score.

[graham_w]

I'll be in for NSW

20 years has to count for something

[Courty]

I'd also like to nominate Haysey & Solarman's round tomorrow morning for NQ.

PM sent with scores for me & Haysey. Solarman is a NCR. :roll:

[AndyP]

What score is worth nominating? If 5 over nett isn't, then I won't bother formatting a PM to popper's strict requirements.

[Ronny]

I based it on last months top ten. I figure my score is mid pack so sent it in!

If not good enough then on well!

[Johnny Canuck]

Sms&canuck for wa, anyone else?

[Shadesy]

Sms&canuck for wa, anyone else?

I had 35 points but that was 4bbb so not sure that counts.

[Johnny Canuck]

It counts if you have an individual score to submit.

[Yossarian]

I had billions.

[popper81]

Sms&canuck for wa, anyone else?

Of the PM's I have received, no one has had better than 36.... And a few have had plenty less.

Send the scores thru, you maybe surprised.

Also, to those that are unsure... Score your round as if you were actually playing stableford, even if you played stroke. Don't just convert your 74nett to 34 points.... For example. I scored a triple bogey on a hole that I didn't have a shot on. Is purely a wipe, as opposed to my +3 and means my stableford score is one better than my actual nett score.

[backintheswing]

Re check your pm's Popp.

[popper81]

Re check your pm's Popp.

You play good??? Go NQ!!!


Check tomorrow... I am out.

[hocko]

WA have a good chance this month, how did the other WA boys go?

[Johnny Canuck]

74/71 at Gossies.

[Veefore]

WA have a good chance this month, how did the other WA boys go?

31, 32 and 32 in our group.

I had a nice little bogie, double, triple, double, bogie stretch there in the middle of the front nine that didn't help.

[Squidboy]

I'm in for Queensland 80/63 to win b grade monthly mug. We pm card tomorrow.

[hocko]

Nominating after the fact? I don't think that is allowed.

[PeteyD]

You don't need to nominate for this one.

[hocko]

I'm in for Queensland 80/63 to win b grade monthly mug. We pm card tomorrow.

I think we may have a winner, no honest golfer beats their handicap by nine shots!
This is just like playing on Thursdays with the old fella's, you need 45 points to get anywhere near the top.

[popper81]

.

There is a thread for bleating...... ;)

[hocko]

Link?

[Squidboy]

Wow. Best score I have ever hit in my life. You don't even know me and your calling me a cheat. Classy!! Got new rocketbladez irons 3 games ago, custom fitted and the difference is unbelievable. Don't worry I won't bother entering.

[Johnny Canuck]

Great shooting.

Good dummy spit.

[Ashes]

Lol

[3Puttpete]

Don't get too worked up Squidboy. Golf's a bit like poker. You win because of your superior skill and lose because you're unlucky or somebody cheated. It's a pretty nice way to view the world.

[AndyP]

Great shooting.

Good dummy spit.Hocko's comments were pretty rough, questioning the honesty of Squidboy instead of congratulating him on a good round.

[Captain Nemo]

Hocko's comments were pretty rough, questioning the honesty of Squidboy instead of congratulating him on a good round.
Agree, should be congratulating him on a good round.
Everyone has to start somewhere, be it off 27, or 7.
Still got to get the ball in the hole....

[hocko]

Wow. Best score I have ever hit in my life. You don't even know me and your calling me a cheat. Classy!! Got new rocketbladez irons 3 games ago, custom fitted and the difference is unbelievable. Don't worry I won't bother entering.

I never called you a cheat, maybe I should not have put "honest" in my post.
It is definitely a good round, no doubt about it. If my post came across as a personal attack then I apologise as that is not what was intended.

[AndyP]

BTW hocko and JC, well done on your rounds.

[hocko]

BTW hocko and JC, well done on your rounds.

;)

[Squidboy]

All good. Just coped it yesterday at the club aswell. But no one has seen me out there 4 afternoons a week practicing. Stupid thing is I didn't even win the day someone in c grade went 78/58.

[backintheswing]

All good. Just coped it yesterday at the club aswell. But no one has seen me out there 4 afternoons a week practicing. Stupid thing is I didn't even win the day someone in c grade went 78/58.

What's the par of the course?

[Ronny]

😦 20 handicap shooting in the 70's!!!!

[Squidboy]

70

Wow!
:smt103
Hope he's not on Ozgolf....

[backintheswing]

70

And what is the ACR

[Dotty]

Wow!
:smt103
Hope he's not on Ozgolf....
If he gets enough cards in, then he could be off 25 for the May monthly medal.

:razz:

[PeteyD]

I had an 80/60 around Wynnum (par 70) once. Still haven't broken 80.

[Squidboy]

Acr is 68.

[backintheswing]

So you played 5 under your handicap, not 9 as someone said in the thread .

[hocko]

It was me who said it.....it's OK to name names.

[Squidboy]

Anyway. This is a great idea for a bit of fun. Was stoked at my round so thought I'd throw it in. Would like to get along to some of the days u guys organise to.

[backintheswing]

Just make sure you only play to your handicap, or the ozgolf handicap police will come down on you.

[PeteyD]

playing to handicap on ozgolf days usually wins them!

[AndyP]

I had an 80/60 around Wynnum (par 70) once. Still haven't broken 80.Custard Head!

[PeteyD]

More a LOFT issue ;)

[Courty]

Custard Head!

:lol:

[Johnny Canuck]

BTW hocko and JC, well done on your rounds. Thanks Andy. We should send Hocko back to the bogan thread. All he does is cause trouble when we let him out.

[popper81]

4 hours until entires close.... Anymore?

[Courty]

[PeteyD]

Strange place for a Pel - E - can team break up ;)

[sms316]

Strange place for a Pel - E - can team break up ;) I wish. That's at Bonville in a few months.

[backintheswing]

I will be at Moranbah with rugby league so the FNQankers will have to do without me.

[IanO]

This is just like playing on Thursdays with the old fella's, you need 45 points to get anywhere near the top.

HEY! The group of old farts I play with have their own handicap system. They halve your golflink handicap and then take off 2 shots. That is you starting handicap with them. You get .1 shots each round where you don't win and lose .1 for every $2 you win. Depending on the number who play on the day you can lose a big chunk of handicap with a win.

[IanO]

Popper - if I play really really badly (which is normal at the moment) can I put my card in for QLD?

[popper81]
