Almosts, No-Countback Thursday and 2019

Almosts, No-Countback Thursday and 2019

Here  are our Almosts...

or Pint and Half Pint!

Why? 

Fi and Lynne almost won the Godolphin Goblet and Admiration Cup!

You certainly deserved a drink or two!

Huge admiration to you both (and the rest) for completing your rounds on Saturday.

There will be another opportunity to play for the trophies... date to be confirmed by Captain Sue but possibly in September she says.

No-Countback Thursday

Well done the 6 players who played the Back 9 today ... there were playful scores!

Angie ..scored 15 (and that included 3 blobs!) Well played Angie!

Sue S only just beat Angie... with 17 points (including a blob)

 then came Jenny with 18 points (and 2 blobs); Chris L with 19 points (with 1 blob); Chris J with 20 points and our winner was Captain Sue with 21!

How did they manage that! 17,18,19,20,21!

Imagine... exchange the blobs for 2 pointers... Jenny 22; Angie 21; Chris L 21; Sue D 21; Chris J 20; and Sue S 19! How exciting would that be!

2019

As you know, January 2019 will see the introduction of some new(amended) rules.

 The intention of the R & A is to speed up golf and make things a little simpler.

If you visit their website R & A you can watch videos which explain the changes. (If you click on the yellow highlighted bit it should take you there.)

We'll also have a look at some of them on here. 

So, what will the changes be for on the Green?

1) When we putt we will be able to leave the flag in if we want to (there will be no penalty for hitting the flagstick with a putt)

2) We will be able to mend any marks on our putting line (not just pitch marks but spike marks too - there will be no penalty for touching the line of the putt)

3) If you accidentally move your ball  or ball marker there is no penalty - just put the ball back where it was. (We have already adopted this at Cape so we should be used to this one!)

More another day!

Happy golfing!
