Event Type: 2 Ball banana cup - This years format is "Super 6". What does that mean:
In teams of 2:
Holes 1-6: Team Best Ball (use the best team score per hole)

Holes 13-18: Team Multiplier (Both team scores multiplied together)'

This event will not be Golflinked

Men: Blue Tee - Par 72, SCR 73, Slope 126
Ladies: Red Tee - Par 73, SCR 74, Slope 126

Locomotion: Walking only - complimentary pull carts available from the club

Other Notes:
There is a dress code, please check this carefully: https://www.rqgolf.com.au/cms/golf/dress-code/

The club will be supplying sandwich packs which we can pick up before the round. Verandah Bar will be open after the round.

To my group/partner: Sorry for the wipes in the multiplier. I hope it's not on a 4 or 5 pointer hold for us.

How are partners selected?
At random after all have finished or within your group of 4 by consensus?

Probably should have explained that - it was a quasi random group generator (I had to adjust a little to try prevent repeat playing partners from Thursday).

In any case, you are fortunate enough to be paired with Jono - a very highly rated group with that flusher on board!

Sorry you missed my point, the Banana Cup partners not the actual groups!

I have also tidied up the opening post - it's 2 ball teams.

2nd edit: There will be individual prizes on the day (stableford), and the winning team is the holder of the (phantom) 2-ball banana cup.

Sorry Marcel. Although the bandits we are playing with should make it interesting.

Sorry to stuff it up after the draw has come out (I thought I had until tomorrow), but I am withdrawing from this round. I can't handle playing with MrBluu.

I also have no confidence in the body to be able to handle walking eighteen holes, hitting a hundred shots, and backing up for two rounds on the weekend.

So can we get Ferrins to step in for AndyP at RQ? It would be a seemless replacement, I can never tell them apart...

Jono would have to be the hot favourite for the champs. Just don't borrow his pen or try to give him the flag on the green.😀
