1.2m! What a luxury.
I am genuinely not sure I have ever jagged an NTP at a club comp. Not once. At the clubs I have been associated with, if you aren't within a few inches you barely have a chance of it holding up for the field.
Case in point: Playing in the last few groups at Wynnum lately, I am finding myself having to move the NTP marker pins for a putt, as they are always right next to the hole. I actually thought I was good for it the other week with a 10ft putt for eagle on the 1st at Wynnum, only to see that the group in front got the eagle before me.

I take it all back. Went for a visit and Pacific yesterday and managed to pick up an NTP on the 3rd that held up at 145cm.

Question on NTPs, does any club have a maximum? That is, unless the shot is under 5m the NTP jackpots.
We have a bloke who goes out early, insists on putting down things like 18.35m, for some reason its annoys me, I thought the 5m maximum distance might be a good way of stopping him.

Not here. Anywhere on the green is enough. It’s not uncommon to see a C Grade NTP at 20m on a long green.

I don't think so. I have lost 1 or 2 though, where I thought 15+ meters wouldn't do it, only to find out no one else hit the green for the day.

Slightly unfairly ours aren't graded (suppose I should look at that)....…with a scratch prize as well its a single markers benefit, I guess offset by C graders dominating the 4 balls.
Nice shot on 17, made a nice double last time I was there

Remember we were talking about the eagles nest the other week?
I think 18 was B and C grade third shot (par5) inside a metre and 9 was for A grade second shot (par4) inside a metre?

Think the numbers playing would be the first consideration, small fields the more chance being the only one to hit the green comes into play . Once you get over 75 players then under 5 metres to mark would be justifiable as long as the prize jackpots if no one does it .

Grades is fairer BUT it reduces the prize. On a busy day I think $40 is the normal going rate for a pin.
A
B
C
Ladies
I remember in the last 1-2 years the board made NTP prizes a standard % based on the number of players.

Is it also apportioned by the number of entrants in each grade, or does a lady playing in a field of 8 get the same as a B Grade bloke competing against 80?

Given the 9 cap (until last week) I guess so, what's gone on, you were smoking it. Thought winter in FNQ would be when you made scores?
