[Dotty]

Designated Draw

* Procurer of winning ticket will receive 20%
* Remaining participants will get a share of remaining 30%.



Same as previous years. Just post your first card of 2011, if you want to enter.

Rules
* Best Gross score per hole for your chosen course.

Requirements
* All players must post
- the Home Course name
- Pars of each hole initially
- Gross scores (if available).
* Players can post updates for their Eclectic scores as they improve on any current score per hole.

Prize
* All participants will procure a lotto ticket for a designated draw sometime in early in January 2012. (Approx. value $8 )
* Ticket must be scanned and posted in this thread.
* Eclectic winner will receive 50% of the prize pool.
* Procurer of winning ticket will receive 20%
* Remaining participants will get a share of remaining 30%.

Allowable formats
There has been some discussion around the types golf formats allowed under the Eclectic comp.
The following are allowable (official club competitions):
- Stroke (and multiples of i.e. 2 ball)
- Par (and multiples of i.e. 2 ball)
- Stableford (and multiples of i.e. 2 ball)
This list is set for the moment.

If anything is not clear or needs updating let me know.


Clarifications ....

1. Matchplay scores may be used, provided it is an official club competition.

2. Eclectic handicap is 1/2 of final GolfLink handicap (ie. 11.59pm 31/12/2011).

3. Recording of scores on holes with a temporary tee (or green) is at the player's discretion.

Rule of thumb - If the nature of the hole changes significantly or it is playing easier, the honourable thing is to refrain from recording an improved score for that hole, until normal play of the hole resumes.

Provided it is an official club comp, then I can't see why not.

You've gotta start somewhere. A birdie would have been nice though.

Rules* Winner will be decided by the amount under par, less Eclectic handicap (1/2 actual Golflink handicap)

Handicap at the start or end of the year? Just a thought as the new system has made handicaps much more volatile.

Traditionally, we've taken end of year.

There are still 364 days to source cheap tar and feathers, for those whose handicaps blow out 10 shots in the last 20 games of the year.

So Dotty - as I started the year off 17, that is what I keep for the year?

Cool. I'll be off 16 tomorrow

The other end of the year. (ie. not the start of the year).

Now you have to decide whether you want to be off 8 or 28 by the end of 2011.

13 would be nice. Unlikely by nice!

Bloody impressive start there, MT. -4 after 4!

Seeing the front nine at Bonnie Doon will be dug up and we will be playing a 15-hole course from May onwards, I guess I can't really take part this year.

[MegaWatty]

Just make heaps of eagles Scottt. It's pretty simple.

BTW I fully concede that I won't get anywhere near winning this; I just don't shoot birdies and dream of eagles. It is interesting to keep track of though. Beating last year's eclectic is a must though.

C'mon Lefty the least you can do is add them up! Just give yourself a 6 for 8th hole!

[PeteyD]

I'll be in too. Same as P, Birdies are rare enough. Trying to birdie holes I missed last year will be my goal.

[Scottt]

Lefty, you're a Portland fella? Some fun holes there and a great clubhouse: full size billiard table - say no more! We didn't mind the rain delay when we went there for pennant: a few sneaky schooners and games of stick before we headed back out to finish

Alright, it was probably just a 5 but was too pissed off to bother holing out! bloody people not raking their footprints in the bunkers!

Hmmm, im pretty sure that we must be talking about a different Portland here Scottt because a) im fairly sure there's never been a full-sized billiard table there and b) there is definitely no interesting holes there!

Im in Portland, VIC. Pretty sure theres a Portland in NSW that you may be confusing it with.
