2004 Mens Invitation

2003 | 2005
 
As usual, the format is American Greensomes. Men invite a partner from the Ladies section to make a pairing.

American Greensomes has proven a popular format. Both golfers tee off, from their own tee of course. Then the golfers swap balls for the second shot. After the second shot on each ball, the pairing chooses which ball to continue playing. If the man's ball is chosen, he then plays the third shot. If the lady's ball is chosen, she then plays the third shot. The players then alternate playing that ball until the ball is holed.

Scoring is Stableford using the Men's stroke indices. The handicap allocation is 3/8th of the combined playing handicaps.

The course and tee time are to be advised.

Match Report

Under sunny and warm skies one pairing Paul Grand and Lia Donath stormed the course to produce 44 points and romp away with the title. See the right panel for the full results.

Spare some sympathy for Toby Hunt who missed out on both nearest-the-pin prizes by less than an inch. Who says length doesn't count?

Jan Oliver played without her partner and achieved 40 points on her own.
