The winner will be declared the OZgolf Player of the Year and the holder of the Golden Club.

How it works

1. Prize money is based on the size of the round and a standard 18 hole round. You win $1000 for handing in a score, plus $1000 for every player you beat. Only Bona Fide Ozgolf.net registered members are eligible and counted for the prize pool. The event winner gets a 50% bonus. Nett scores only. $1000 for an NCR, if there is a valid reason, otherwise $0. AGU count used for ties of 1st.
eg. 4 in the field.
1st $6000 (4000+2000)
2nd $3000
3rd $2000
4th $1000

1a. Prize money for a mulitround event is awarded as method 1. for the total result and each round result gets 1/(number rounds) of the money set out in method 1.
eg for a 36 hole event, round 1 & round 2 get 1/2 the normal money and the total pass as normal.

2. An Ozgolf day is defined as an event that is posted to the 1st Tee forum with an open invitation for everybody to join in, and where typically one person handles all the bookings

3. Scores are taken from 1st tee forum at Ozgolf.net only. One person at each golf day needs to record the nett scores and the exact Ozgolf usernames. List scores in order. Scores must be clearly posted in first post.

4. No limit to number of games or course played. Minimum field for an Ozgolf day is 2 Ozgolf.net website members.

5. To be eligible for the Player of the Year award the Ozgolfer must have purchased an Ozgolf Shirt or made a donation to the Ozgolf website/community.

6. The year concludes with the Annual Ozgolf Championships or the 31st December whichever occurs first.

7. In the event of a Tie, a countback will apply, by counting the number of 1st places, If still a tie, 2nd places, and so on. If tie cannot be seperated a joint award will be made.

FAQ
Whats a Bona Fide Ozgolfer?
Someone that is (or will be) a regular contributor or someone that we all know and love.

Why do we have to use Ozgolf Nicknames, everyone knows who Jim, Pete , Dave and Mark is?
There is at least two Jim's two Petes, two Dave's and four Mark's, how hard do you wanna make it.

Any questions, arguements, suggestions? Fire away.

If you think a round is missing please have a look, if all the result are not in a 1st thread don't bitch

------------------------
I have taken over this role from AndyP this year, so he can get on with the Admin/Mod stuff... so give me a break

[Flowergirl]

Is Johnny Boy someone we all know and love?
Well done by the way Pete:smt023

[PeteyD]

Who?:smt119




:D:smt110 :smt047 :smt046 :smt005

[3oneday]

Grammatically very nice to read too 8)


:lol:

[AndyP]

He has a talent for copying and pasting.

Thanks for taking it over, Pete.

[goughy]

And what a start, 10 games already pete!

I wonder how many games you'd have to play to come last in every one and still win poty? Could be something to aim at.

[shazza_rs]

I vote we change the money allocations to be similiar with the FedEx points....

So like this....

1: 4,500
2: 2,700
3: 1,700
4: 1,200
5: 1,000
10: 675
30: 170
70: 50

And of course you get more for the majors......

[Moe Norman]

but then would a 1st in a 4 person event be the same as a 1st in a 12 person event?

if so, don't like that change at all.

[Grunt]

Like it for the 2 person events ;)

[BrisVegas]

too complicated. leave it as is. it's been working for 4 years now, love it or hate it.

[AndyP]

I think it's too late to change anyway.

Has anyone that's won it in the past not deserved to win it (besides your fiance)?
What are we trying to achieve by changing it?

[markTHEblake]

I vote we change the money allocations to be similiar with the FedEx points....

Its a great idea, the current system is flawed for large fields. in a 40 person event 10th gets almost as much as 2nd/

I spent hours trying to work out a spread like the Pro's use but failed. its too hard for a manual process.

If you can find someone to write a formula that will allocate the money accordingly to the size of the field and then program a system to calculate the allocation then go for it. :smt023

[peter_rs]

OK it all locked in we are using the same method for this year at least..

updated to include all states, and include some basic stats.

[PeteyD]

Stupid work firewall is blocking the image ....

[poidda]

One stat that would be interesting is the "Average Field Size". At present the "Average Pos" means nothing. Having an Average Pos of 2 could mean an average of runnerup, or an average of last. Having an average of 2/2 is much different than 2/20. (Average Pos/Average Field Size"

Just a thought.

[peter_rs]

sorry poidda upload the wrong image, its there now.

Let me now if anyone wants other stats and I will see what I can do.

[PeteyD]

sweet working now.

[poidda]

sorry poidda upload the wrong image, its there now.

Let me now if anyone wants other stats and I will see what I can do.

Pete, are you talking about the "Average Field Size" for the everyone? I was actually talking about an average field size for each person, just like you've got "Average Pos".

[miro]

Peters

Now firstly thanks for doing this BUT am I missing something. You and the missus seem to have played a great deal of rounds so early in the year. I would ask two questions:

1. Am I to assume many of your rounds were just the two of you -is that really in the spirit of this competition. Surely this rule needs to be looked at.

2. Were all 11 of your rounds complying? "2. An Ozgolf day is defined as an event that is posted to the 1st Tee forum with an open invitation for everybody to join in"

[Rusty]

remember POTY starts from first day after annual champs or 31st Dec, whichever is earlier.

[miro]

Ah that would be the missing link in my knowledge then. I was assuming 31 Dec.

[Webster]

gonna be tough for me to win this

[Fishman Dan]

gonna be tough for me to win this

Have you tried whinging non-stop? Worked for the Most Improved.

[shazza_rs]

Miro to answer your questions.....

1. No we don't count games that are played between ourselves....
2. Yes all of our games complied to the "rules". We played a lot of golf in our break between the champs and going back to work after christmas.

If we wanted to so badly win POTY we would list all our games in the 1st tee section.... but what would be the point??

[shazza_rs]

yeah sure am.....

[peter_rs]

poidda, I get it I will look at it.

Mirro as poidda suggested, Without any rounding on the averages.

any other requests?

[peter_rs]

Update for feb and Wynnum Cup. about time rusty.

[Grunt]

Pete, Jamie's nick is Chopper not Chooper ;)

[kpac]

missing poidda and my round at northlakes in February.

because i'm in the hunt :roll:

[shazza_rs]

Well you might wanna post your scores up in the thread then ;)

[Moe Norman]

i've played more than twice

[peter_rs]

Ok I know I'm going to be wrong Moe but I have
14th dec Brisbane
1st march brisbane - no said they were playing with you no scores posted.
9th march wynnum cup

what did i miss?

I can go back throught the threads tomorrow to check again

[Moe Norman]

nah, I'm probably wrong.

[markTHEblake]

I can go back throught the threads tomorrow to check again

Pete - make em look at the spreadsheet themselves and work out whats missing, even if its your mistake :lol:

if you dont you will be headless by the middle of the year :razz: Like how the heck would you know which round of theirs you missed

[peter_rs]

ok how do I upload a 1.8m xls or 280k zip?

[Bruce]

Maybe a shared google sheet is the answer?

[kpac]

Well you might wanna post your scores up in the thread then ;)



Kpac - 30pts
Poidda - 27pts
was posted - but a long winded thread so can understand it was missed

[markTHEblake]

ok how do I upload a 1.8m xls or 280k zip?

I have a spreadsheet with 3 years of POTY data, plus several sheets of experimental stuff, and its only 234kb (zips to 30kb or so)

what the heck are you doing :)

lemme guess - Office 2007 format? :razz:

[AndyP]

I have a spreadsheet with 3 years of POTY data, plus several sheets of experimental stuff, and its only 234kb (zips to 30kb or so)I was attaching a spreadsheet for all of last year, so something different is going on, besides the extra formulae used.

[poidda]

Maybe a shared google sheet is the answer?

Excellent idea Bruce. The google docs are the business.

[peter_rs]

sorry 03 I will look into it when I get time.

[peter_rs]

ok I have updated the list for kpac :).

Fixed a error of WC entered a score for perci.

Tried playing with xls and the file was goto 1mb so I have uploaded the a sheet with all games let me know if I missed any days.

[Courty]

Pete, in the older versions you could dramatically reduce the filesize by hiding all the blank columns/ rows outside the tables etc. I haven't tried it for a while so don't know if it works with the newer versions.

[peter_rs]

thanks courty, I will look at it when I get more time.

[peter_rs]

Updated with all games I think up to the 14/4/08

[AndyP]

From briefly looking at the attachment, I think have spotted two errors.

BrisWesty is the only one to have $6000 from the Matchplay. Why?
36 hole events, particularly the SC Easter Open, are not meant to be split up into individual rounds. It should be double money for overall result.

[Grunt]

Pete, missed a few I played in too, I played at both the rounds that Trung & Chopper played their matchplay, Carnarvon & Beverley Park.

My head hurts. Does that make Barny a 54 holes evvent, or 6 9 hole events? we did stop for a beer.

[peter_rs]

AP

by the draw (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=935&d=1207530272) Westy is the only one in the 3rd round so far.

Does the SC not run seperate comps each day? What happens if a person only plays one day of a 36 hole event?

[AndyP]

AP

by the draw (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=935&d=1207530272) Westy is the only one in the 3rd round so far.Then he should have $8k.


Does the SC not run seperate comps each day? What happens if a person only plays one day of a 36 hole event?It's a 36 hole event, not two 18 hole days. The option to play one day only wasn't available.

Yeah like poor Choopa at the champs. He was penalised for being crook the second day. :)

[Eag's]

Yeah like poor Choopa at the champs. He was penalised for being crook the second day. :)

:lol:

[AndyP]

That was a nasty gastro illness that passed through a few of the Champs players. Surely we couldn't be so unlucky this year.

[peter_rs]

grunt sorry my bad fix the Beverley Park, but there is no score for you in the matchplay thread (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9136&highlight=Carnarvon) and there was no 1st thread for there carnarvon match (http://www.ozgolf.net/forums/showthread.php?t=9136&highlight=Carnarvon).

[Grunt]

No worries.
Just to clear it up then. For POTY you have to post 2 entries for the one event. One in the Matchplay thread and one in 1st tee.

Is that correct, only asking so everyone knows the correct way to do it and make it easier for you Pete

[peter_rs]

Then he should have $8k.

It's a 36 hole event, not two 18 hole days. The option to play one day only wasn't available.

Just double checked the 07 potty I see what you have done fixed.

So I will make SC a 36 hole at your request, but toowoomba allows you to play one day so it would stay 2x18 rounds?

[peter_rs]

No worries, just to clear it up then. For POTY you have to post 2 entries for the one event. One in the Matchplay thread and one in 1st tee.

no grunt I took your score for Beverley Park form the matchplay thread. there is no score listed for you in the carnarvon matchplay thread. if you know your score post it.

[Grunt]

Will do pete, think it was a couple less that Trung & Chopper 29 I think.

[Iain]

My head hurts.

Drinking again??

[AndyP]

Just double checked the 07 potty I see what you have done fixed.

So I will make SC a 36 hole at your request, but toowoomba allows you to play one day so it would stay 2x18 rounds?Yep. The Woodford Open is a 36 holer, as well as the Champs. I can't think of any others though.

[peter_rs]

so to clear this up ap.

so does toowoomba count as 2x18 and a 36 event (it runs all 3 comps), or if all the same players play both days is it one 36?

[AndyP]

In the thread, Shaz listed the scores as two separate days, so I would have assumed 2x18.

[peter_rs]

so did you but then you added a total. ;)

[AndyP]

Ummm, yeah, nah, sure. The whole point of the comp was a 36 hole result. I don't know about Middle Ridge. Why don't you make a judgment call?

[markTHEblake]

36 hole events were always counted as one event - double money. i cant remember if anyone ever only played one day, i'd say tough. :-)

[peter_rs]

updated with the new 36 method and latest rounds.

[Grunt]

Any update to this in the near future?



Before anyone bites my head off, I'm just asking.

[shazza_rs]

I'm sure when pete stops working 16 hour days at work he might get a chance to update it. Until then you can be comfortable in the fact that you aren't at the top of the leaderboard grunt. :)

[Courty]

:lol: Touche! :lol:

Any chance I'm on there? :roll:

[peter_rs]

updated as requested.....

[Grunt]

Pete, the cabra game May 16, I did not NCR. For some reason they never put mine or Virges score in, I had 22 points.

[dc68]

Hey Pete does this include our hit at Pacific?

[peter_rs]

Grunt->scores are not in the thread I'm not a mind reader... some scores were listed others were not so thats a NCR.

DC68->no that was only in the match play thread (I have only included rounds listed in the main 1st tee thread).

[Grunt]

No worries pete, thought the scores were posted and only realised that Scottt never put any in the 1st post.

[Jarro]

Did you get todays scores from Keperra Mr Ralph ?

[BrisVegas]

the field is a bit more closely bunched than in previous years. It's anyone's race....

[Grunt]

Lets hope they don't miss the $20,000 you would have won with that score. Yeah it was heaps.

[Coffs_Hacker]

I'm surprised that grunt has been able to organise 20rnds with ozgolfers in NSW :shock::shock:

[markTHEblake]

Pete, well done with recording and displaying the results. So much better than the last couple of chumps that did this.

[sms316]

Just for the record, one of the NSW rounds was in the ACT. If Grunt will travel to Canberra for a round, then it can't be a surprise that he has cracked 20 rounds.

[peter_rs]

sms which course was it so I can update.

[Grunt]

Yowani, was in the ACT Pete

[peter_rs]

updated thanks

[goughy]

the field is a bit more closely bunched than in previous years. It's anyone's race....

Does this mean I have a chance? I might get in one more game before the champs? :mrgreen:

[AndyP]

Am I the only one who thinks that this has lost it's "significance" now?

[Courty]

Nope. There's been no aura this time around.

[damoocow]

Am I the only one who thinks that this has lost it's "significance" now?

Could be a can of worms !..................I always thought this was about playing a lot of ozgolf games and recording reasonable results in them............if that is the case then I fully support whoever wins [or has won].............if not then obviously I got it all wrong

[AndyP]

Could be a can of worms !..................I always thought this was about playing a lot of ozgolf games and recording reasonable results in them............if that is the case then I fully support whoever wins [or has won].............if not then obviously I got it all wrongNo, BV has limited tickets for rounds away from home, and he won last year. It's all about doing well in our big days. The winner may come from someone that does do well in the Champs or Matchplay, but the big days seem to have dried up...

In other words, it's time for an update.

[Eag's]

There is certainly a lot less banter about this time around, same goes for the most improved. Maybe peeps are bored with the idea?

[AndyP]

I don't think that's the case, but if it is, I won't bother getting medals for it.

[Eag's]

Maybe it's because a lot less big days have been played this year?
Who knows but it is a bit of fun to watch how we all perform through the year.

[Bruce]

I'm barracking for Shazza. A big effort at the Champs and the title is hers.

[goughy]

It could be one of those - been doing it for a few years things the shine has come off but a little buff and it's back as big as ever next year - things...

[peter_rs]

Ap there will be an update soon the last one was mid Aug and there has not been a major event since.

07 year 157 post up to 23/10/07 total 264
08 year 99 post up to 20/10/08 total ?

As Eag's said there has not been alot of the smaller events eg Nambour, Carbrook, Beerwah. Maybe the economy has hit oz golf ;)

I think there is interest and it will show coming into the champs.

[BrisVegas]

we can call it off now if you like. I'll retire undefeated. :wink:

[AndyP]

Is it a coincidence that I stopped organising games? Everyone goes out of their way to play with me.........

[poidda]

I just think there's a lot less OzGolf rounds being played this year?!?! Could be because more people are playing home club events, or doing other things. ie. Running. ;) I know I've played a lot less golf this year.

[BrisVegas]

spot on poidda. I can't afford to play away games as much these days, both in terms of $$ and leave passes. I still make it to the big ones because they're fun days, but I'm not getting out for a hit at Nudgee/Gailes/Oxley/Windaroo like I used to.

[peter_rs]

there was a lot of games at the start of the year, everyone is just playing in smaller groups at there home club. I blame shazza joining nudgee. I know I'm not playing the same range of courses.

[Eag's]

I just think there's a lot less OzGolf rounds being played this year?!?! Could be because more people are playing home club events, or doing other things. ie. Running. ;) I know I've played a lot less golf this year.

Yep very true poidda, I just checked my Golflink and I have only played 10 rounds for the year and a handful of social rounds. Going to play a fair bit in the next couple of weeks to see if I can find some kind of form before the Champs ;)

[shazza_rs]

I'm barracking for Shazza. A big effort at the Champs and the title is hers.

I always put in a big effort at the bar Bruce and I haven't even come close to shooting near my handicap!

[Scottt]

I just think there's a lot less OzGolf rounds being played this year?!?! Could be because more people are playing home club events, or doing other things. ie. Running. ;) I know I've played a lot less golf this year.

There has been a decent # of games down south, we just haven't put them all in the 1st tee so I guess we missed out on POTY points!

[shazza_rs]

There are shitloads of games up here that don't make the 1st tee section too!

[Scottt]

Perhaps we should all make a bit more effort to show OzGolf as the hive of spirited cameraderie that it is!

[AndyP]

If you put it in the 1st tee area, people you don't want to play with might join your group. It's best to keep it to PMs.......

[Scottt]

True...

[peter_rs]

Ok guys I updated the table last night with all games to date

Its rustys to lose at this stage as he is still in matchplay, he has the solid game to take it all to.

If he gets done by shavey the Champs will be interesting with five being within easy range, Including possibly the first lady potty champ.

At this stage there will be a max of 102K of money up at the champs.... so in theory even Grunt is a chance ;)

And just a note- if you think a round is missing look in the xls file if its not listed, check for results in 1 st tee. If you don't post to bad

[BrisVegas]

go shazza!

[PeteyD]

How do you get 102?

[3oneday]

so in theory even Grunt is a chance ;)
funny stuff.

[Grunt]

Hey don't write me off just yet, got a few money games to go before the champs too. ;) Have any of us NSW players ever got in the top 10 for POTY before?

[3oneday]

Only 1 of us has cared enough to try I reckon ;)


:lol:

[peter_rs]

How do you get 102?

It comes down to finial numbers.

[peter_rs]

Last update before the champs.

[shazza_rs]

Congrats Rusty....... !!!

Congrats Rusty ... anyone getting sick of saying that?? hehe :D

Well done mate good reward for you effort.

[Eag's]

Congrats Rusty very consistant year once again :smt023

[Jarro]

Nice job Rustman ......


... i hate you :p

[Grunt]

Congrats Rusty.

[Rusty]

thanks to all involved in ozgolf over the year - both playing and organising. i get such enjoyment out of going to different courses and playing, especially in annual course comps, rather than playing the same course week in week out, that's it's great to be able to go and do this with others that i know. it makes it so much more enjoyable. there's so many welcoming, friendly people in ozgolf (especially when they can't keep their internet persona away from a keyboard :D ), that even getting the chance to play for a "Player of the Year title" is just an added bonus. cheers :smt038

(and may everyone only ever take up lawn bowls as a definite, last resort).
