What another great idea blakey 8) this should be set up as a sticky with no reply's :P

Maybe a second board underneath for the week to week rounds of events (Ozgolf money list :D ) instead of filling it with clasics :wink: the honor board is a once a year thing. anyone who starts a thread and has 3 or more Ozgolf members play, from any state can go onto the money list for the year 8)

we sorta discussed this earlier. We sorta decided that if there is 16 or more players, then that qualifies as a honour board ozgolf event.

also I'll post an updated money list each week. Instead of points we can play for cash this year- increase the pressure!

You're an idiot Blakey. Why the hell did you get the engraver to engrave a question mark.
Now he has to scratch it out to put in the real name.
Don't you ever think things through. :smt017

I can't figure out if you guys are serious with your stupid remarks, so I won't comment. :?

I agree with the 16 or more people OZgolf days, becoming an honour board event.

Blakey, isn't the "OZgolf money list" the Player of the Year points tally.
BTW, I think we have an early leader. :wink:

Playing for cash? How can some of us be expected to compete with guys who have money to burn on drivers? :razz:

Does this mean he gets a start at the end of year Tour Championship with all US other winners ?

The dollars ( & donuts :wink: ) up for grabs at the end of year silly season events will make it an extra incentive to win a regular tour event and earn a place.

What are we talking here golfer... min $5000 for playing, $50,000 for a win? Two years exemption on the Krispy Kreme Tour for the champ?

Of course, we'll have to find a suitable venue... How's Kapalua looking in December?

Its the Tour Championship Fish.
Only invites for winners during the year. Why would we play a course that suits you when you won't be playing. 8)

You'll obviously need a rules committee to deliberate on occurrances like - can you play out of a fresh cow-pat or is it a free drop.

Quick question - what's your eligibility based on again?

After having a big Ozgolf event almost every month for 6 months, nothing has happened for the last 4. Whats wrong with us?


BTW Its not really a big thing, but "Gross Winner" doesnt sound the best to me, I've always hated that word.  A non golfer asks you want you won the trophy for and you say "Best Gross"   :?

I suggest changing it to something like "Ozgolf Medal"   after all, thats what the guy wins for leading the stroke section of the Australian Amateur.

opinions - usually there are a few.

There was 16 or more golfers in attendance. Although they were not all OZgolfers, this hasn't affected the honour board before.

There were 15 ozgolfers and 5 guests at Brookwater. 20 in total. Surely that counts?? Oh and stoney shot a lazy par round off the tips! :shock:

i havent done any 2006 season events yet. (ie post champs)

This year only counting Ozgolf members for POTY, so .....

Honour board events should be few not many to retain its prestige. So it should stay at 16 Ozgolfers right?

If it becomes an honour board event based purely on the number of OZgolfers, then maybe the number required should reduce?
Is it worth taking a look at the honour board events to date to see if they would have made it on the board without the non-OZgolfers?

At last count i am pretty sure the population of Sydney is a wee bit larger than Brisbane. Surely there is just as many golf/netheads per capita in the respective ares.

Get onyer bikes and promote Ozgolf, you lot should have at least as many numbers as us Qlders by now.

OK, I had a look and surprisingly (to me anyway) all of the current OZgolf honour board events had 16 or more OZgolfers, although some just got there.

I guess the criteria could be for 16 OZgolfers then?

Draft version 1 can be seen here (http://www.geocities.com/c0urty/Other/OZgolfHonourBoardv01.jpg).
I started with the intention to create something modern, so I went with a brushed metal look with text engraved into it. At first it was a bit dull, so I added some colour, but it still looks a bit stark to me. Feedback?

It's not like each of the classics is an annual event though either. Just an idea. Maybe a separate board for past achievements.
I still think the matchplay winners deserve to be on the main part of the board though (The Vics might want in too).

Grunt
12th February 2007, 09:14 PM
Well then we have no hope as we cant event get 16 to play a series of matches. I think the best yet is 3 groups.

Nice work by the way. The leaderboard is great and the tributes to Jaster and Drunken are exactly how they should be. Subtle but to those who care do what is needed to be done. (hope that came out the right way)

Now to win this damn matchplay thing as being in NSW it's the only way to get on that list by the looks of things.Or Magenta Shores maybe.


p.s. get rid of the 'by default' next to Shaveys name, no need to belittle his win.My initial preference was not to have a name at all, since there was no "winner".

The rules for POTY is split the money for a tie.

There has never been a tie for a major. No precedent or rule in place means only one option, joint winners.

The rules for POTY is split the money for a tie.That's not in the rules at all. If that is the case, I better go back and re-calculate 3 years of OZgolf rounds.


There has never been a tie for a major. No precedent or rule in place means only one option, joint winners.Surely the general rules from the majority of AGU comps apply or at the very least the rules from the event played. If either of the lads were in contention for first in nett in the comp, it would have gone to countback. I haven't seen too many honour boards for individual events with two names on it.

Surely the best option for Ozgolf is to have a putt-off, beer-off, punt-off, streak-off, whatever to decide on skill not luck.

Nah, I wasn't asking for me. Despite us having the same nett score, as far as I'm concerned Rusty had a lower gross score, so I'd class that as a win for him on the board.

Lowest gross score shouldn't have anything to do with the splitting of ties, unless it is for a gross title.

I am suggesting that unless its stated what the tiebreaker is before the event, you cant have a tiebreaker.


Count back is a no brainer. It happens in all stroke events for nett ties. I can't say I've ever heard of anything else!

and in everyone of those events, its stated in the tournament conditions, or club rules that countback will be used and more importantly which method. They dont make it up as they go along.

FFS. If you can name a nett event that was either decided by anything other than a count back, or had joint winners I would be amazed.

As they say "The sad thing about common sense, is that it isn't that common" :roll:

AndyP
11th March 2008, 08:41 AM
Do we have any rules set out for our events? Is it safe to assume that we play by the R&A Rules of Golf? Or should we state that in the header post of each game thread.

On one hand you are saying we should have a formal process stating tournament conditions, such as rules for a tiebreaker, while saying that we wouldn't follow the standard process for breaking ties.

I've never been given a document for the tournament conditions for a basic stableford comp. Should I appeal if I lose one of them by countback? Isn't it assumed that the club will break ties for prizes using the AGU countback method.

As far as I'm concerned, it's a given that we use the standard countback as per the comp we are playing.
I'm interested to hear what other people's assumptions were.

Rusty
11th March 2008, 10:13 AM
just a question, for a countback, does it take into account whether the players went off different tees ie. 1st & 10th?

goughy
11th March 2008, 10:15 AM
I don't think so. I think they just start by using the holes 10 to 18. If still tied, then 13 to 18, if still tied then 16 to 18. I've been involved in one that got down to the last 3 holes on the back nine. And it was with a guy in my group too. About the same hc even.

AndyP
11th March 2008, 10:37 AM
What goughy said. It's a little annoying sometimes losing in a countback when your last 9 was better, but you teed off from the 10th first.

Rusty
11th March 2008, 10:56 AM

Rusty
11th March 2008, 11:10 AM
there's no doubt http://www.lgu.org/queries/committeeadvice/

"Where there is more than one starting place, if a card count back is to be used, it is recommended that the last 9, 6, 3 or 1 hole(s) is considered to mean holes 10-18, 13-18, 16-18 or 18."

Its written up in the fixture book your club gives you every year, as well as on entry forms for Open events.


As far as I'm concerned, it's a given that we use the standard countback as per the comp we are playing.
Why should it be a given. Countbacks are used because they cant cut the Golf bag or whatever trophy they have in half. We dont have a trophy, so why need a countback.

Countbacks suck, loser always feel ripped. why cant you reward both players for their effort.

Although thats not the main thrust of my argument, which is its based on stupid rules which are biased, with a stupid system for working out the winner and essentially offers no encouragement to anyone who wants to improve.

Courty is going to have to do some serious rearranging when he adds more names to the board. Otherwise I'll be reaching for the magnifying glass.

I think it has already been photoshopped to extend downward once.

I was thinking of a full makeover without having to remove any names. I've got some ideas in mind, but I'll need to play around to get the balance right.

Congrats to Blakey on finally winning a major and removing the "second best player never to win a major" tag behind jarro.

Retro congrats to nuffie in WA too.

Courty, could you please update? Or were you still working on a redesign?

I was assuming we'd have to create our own honour board. With Courty mourning the lack of space on the current board and with the clear East/West clique/segregation that is happening on this forum.

If we can squeeze on the current board that would be grand. It would unite a nation.

Courty will make it happen. He's a photoshop genius.

Long live the Count. OzGolf: Australia's most tolerant and welcoming golf forum. Or should it be, OzGolf: where Wankers and dickheads unite?

We had about twelve OZgolfers in one part of the course today within 50m or so (8th tee, 6th green, coming off 7th tee). I asked what the collective term for OZgolfers was, and determined that it must be wanker. A wanker of OZgolfers.

As AndyP knows, I'm a little bit behind in my Photoshopping schedule, but I have not forgotten.

That is classic. However, the term wanker is becoming far too common on Ozgolf. It is almost becoming a bit ghey.

Hux, some people use the term "Wanker" in jest. You always seem to jump in and be far too serious. I suggest you try one of two things:

1) Try and be a little funny, or
2) Chill out

Maybe a Wank of OzGolfers is better.

Is it now fair to say that we've developed a solid "Grand Slam" of Ozgolf??

1. The Ozgolf Masters - Coolangatta Tweed Heads (May)
2. The PGA OzGA - Wynnum (March)
3. The Queensland Open - Nudgee (June)
4. The Open Championship - (Oct-Nov)

5. The OzGolf Players Championship - McLeod (April)
6. The WA Open - Somewhere over there
7. The WA Masters - "As above"

Pretty bloody good effort to produce events of this consistency/size by the Ozgolfers.
Notable exceptions are a NSW Open, but i'm sure it's in the making.

Don't forget the season ending Tour Championships at Brookwater... That's been getting a good turnout for a few years now.
