View Full Version : Champs Thursday - New Team Format and groups within

Howdy all, and welcome to the VIC Champs. For those playing on Thursday we have a new teams event. Inspired by the Wednesday teams event at CoC (City of Cairns, for those who don't know) each player will still keep his / hers individual card for the day to get an individual result, but we also have an additional prize up for grabs.

So the teams event goes thusly:

Each team (group) is given a ball. This ball is the designated team ball. It gets passed from player to player at the end of each hole. The ball MUST be given back to me at the end of the round for your team score to count. ie, you lose it, goodnight. The ball MUST be used a MINIMUM of 4 times per player for the round, so you will have 2 spare holes. These can be used by anyone. The ball MUST be used for EVERY shot on the hole of the designated person, not just teed off with, not just putted with, EVERY. SHOT.

Sound simple enough? Good.

So to make teams as fair as possible (while still being random) I made 4 groups of 6 in handicap order, with each group getting one player from each sub-group, assigned by random number generator. So here are the groups:

Group 1:
LeftyHoges
Simmsy
Ferrins
Andigold

Group 2:
matt 3 jab
BenM
Peter_rs
Oldracer

Group 3: (possibly the shortest usernamed group ever!)
mint
Ned
GK
Kev

Group 4:
Courty
Sunday Hack
Shazza_rs
Gammon

Group 5:
wbennett
Shadesy
3PuttPete
Peppas

Group 6:
Lucasto23
Noren
monsta
LarryLong

And if you're playing with people that you're playing with / against again the next day....








Stiff titties.

Great idea!

I'll start by apologising up front to my team for losing the ball.

A lot of ti-tree at Spring Valley. Could be whoever keeps it, wins.

So our group has 128 points between us and the score doesn't count because Peppas dunked it?

You've never seen me snap hook have you...

Is it the score for the Designated ball only?

Well if I contribute 8, and the other 3 contribute 40... then possible.

Just give it to me on the first and we'll be done with that extra pressure for the rest of the round if that helps? :)

Yes. 45 points-ish will be around the mark I'd guess.

Correctamundo. And you really think you're gonna have 128 points in a group with Peppas?!?! I'd taken that into account. 3 honest 36s gets us to 108...

There's some good gunge to hit it in on 5 and 14, solid par 3's.

I can foresee some spirited searches for balls that would usually be given up for dead.

Does the dress code allow you to wear gaiters?

Does the team finding other teams lost ball get extra points? 👼

When it's your go do you play two balls for the hole?

oldracer
16th January 2016, 05:45 AM
No you only play the team ball from tee to cup

Nice work, simmsy. You're primed for the weekend.

I think Kev won with 36. Thats all I have heard so far.

LarryLong

Great to see Kev get up for a win. First game in 14 months. Who needs practice?

Who ended up winning the magic ball comp? I know we didn't - Monsta lost the absolute shit out of our ball on the 7th. Massive slog sweep over the fence at cow corner. We could have spent two weeks looking, called in the SAS, set fire to every tree in a 300m radius of the tee box, even brought in Chuck Norris. It wouldn't have made any difference. That shit was never coming back.

Yellow ball was great fun. Our ball, named Heather survived the 18 holes. Looks like she did 12 rounds with Tyson by the end.

Well played by 3pp, Pepps and Shadesy - we combined well for our 37 points.

Want to watch Pepps concentrate. Give him a yellow ball
