Putts & Bolts Christmas Cup 2020

Teams

These were selected by taking alternate names from a list of all 8 participants, in order of Handicap (apart from Pete from whom I do not yet have a handicap).

Black/Dark Tops - Hugo/Oli - Rob - Dan - Pete

White/Light Tops - George - Keith - Ed - Euan

Format & Pairings

Pairings were done by spin of the wheel, removing options after Round 1 to ensure different partners each game. Each group of four has been worked so that you will only ever be playing with one person who you played with or against in the other round.

Round 1 - Par 3 - Foursomes stableford - 2 players from each team will play as a pair for the round. There are only two balls in play throughout, with each pair taking alternate shots. Each pair will also alternate who tees off on each hole. There will be no handicapping on this round so the scratch stableford score will be recorded for each pair on every hole, with the winning pair obviously being the one with the highest score after the round is completed. A win is worth 3 points in the cup, a draw worth 1.

Match 1 - George & Keith vs Dan & Oli

Match 2 - Ed & Euan vs Rob & Pete

Round 2 - Main - Fourballs stableford - 2 players from each team will play as a pair for the round. There are four balls in play throughout, with each player playing their own balls. This round will be handicapped based on each players current handicap. The higher stableford score from each pair will be recorded every hole, so only one of your scores will count. The winning pair is obviously the one with the highest score after the round is completed. A win is worth 3 points in the cup, a draw worth 1.

Match 3 - Ed & George vs Hugo & Rob

Match 4 - Keith & Euan vs Dan & Pete

Tie-breaker - If the scores finish in a draw after all 4 matches, there will be a tiebreaker on the putting green to crown the winners.
