2012 Summer Eclectic Rules, Regs and Entry list

After some careful or not so careful thought the rules have been tweaked and finalised. This will be available on Golf-Chat too.


1) The format is to be an eclectic strokeplay over a maximum of 8 rounds to be played between May 14, 2012 and September 30, 2012 inclusive

2) For the first card, I will need either a scan, photo or detailed spreadsheet score card giving your score, Par for each hole, the SI, SSS and your handicap, via email. PM me or send email and I will reply confirming email if necessary.

If you have participated in the Winter Eclectic you do not need to provide this information again as long as no changes have been made to your home course (see rule 4).

3) All scores for all holes to be provided to me; DNF’s on any card will count as 9.

4) All rounds to be played from the same set of tee boxes, I'm guessing this will be easier for the ladies to comply with

5) ¾ handicap rounded up from 0.5. There could be handicap adjustments, especially if you appear to be a complete bandit or appear to be sandbagging.

6) Par and SSS ratings for courses will undergo an entirely scientific process to equalize any differences. I will not make this up as I go along, I promise.

7) Your rounds can be bounce or competition, it is totally up to you. Just have to nominate it prior to playing. Email, PM or post to the Eclectic thread.

8. I will post any results onto the board, hopefully weekly, bi-weekly or whenever I feel like it, so all can see what they have to do to make up places. As the deadline approaches leaderboard updates will stop so magic pencils cannot be used

9) Gimmies – I know some of you never play gimmies whereas others do and the groups they play in expect it. Play the round as you would normally, but I would suggest that if you are putting to better your previous score on that hole, then the ball needs to drop

10) Start date is………….. Monday, May 14.

11) Hopefully these are all the rules we need for you to enjoy yourselves. Remember, this is supposed to be just a bit of fun, and hopefully it will get exciting at some stage. However I am the judge, jury, executioner, winner of summer eclectic, cook, cleaner, slow poster and other choice words and phrases so what I determine goes.

Hi Grumpster. Really appreciate the effort you put into the recent Winter version and the fact you're mad(?) enough to repeat it for the Summer.

Count me in; do you still have the scan I sent of my course or do you need a new one?

Count me in sounds good i will get details across soon as I get chance to detail them down and email them through

NBS - I have your course details but may need confirmation of SSS for whites and yellows. I think you may have submitted a mix of scores from the yellows and whites.

Fader, you're more than welcome. I've PM'd my email address

Grumps

Count me in please. I will only submit scores played off the whites. We don't have a measured course off the yellows anyway.

Course is SSS of 71 off the white boxes; will only be submitting scores off whites for this one.

Hi Grumpy, if possible could I take part again,

Hopefully do a bit better this time

Seeing as you're a global moderator yes, otherwise it might have been a maybe

Still the same handicap, NB?

yes, sadly

had two lessons though, with a third this week, so maybe get to -5 ha ha

Count me in.

Had a quick group lesson the other weekend.
Just came off the course having hit everything left (hook, pull, everything left).

Stood on the practice area with the pro, hit some balls with my 6 iron, everyone dead straight. Tried my driver everyone dead straight. Pro " can't see your problem".

Went out the following day hit everything to the right, expecting my hooks & pulls to kick in.

What an infuriating game.!!!

Submitted everything I think you need Grumps, however not sure I included handicap which is 9

Im game for this... Playing this afternoon so probably too short notice for that but I will PM for the email address grumps and send you the card so you have everything you need.

Sand - you're welcome to enter mate. I'll leave it up to your discretion about whether to count today's round. I'll PM you my email. Grumps

Cheers... Nah Il enter it, not the best score by any means but something to beat anyway... Sent you the details let me know if you need anything else.

Hi Grumpy,

Can I join in as well please? Was keen on joining the winter one but with the way our course gets shortened in the winter I just left it. If you PM me the email address I will send you my card after my round this saturday. All scores will be off the whites.

Cheers!

I dont play medels anymore and dont have a handicap, but can I still enter this comp somehow?

Lairdy, just PM'd you. Don't forget to include your handicap. Good luck Grumps.

Mac, sure, you can enter this. What's an honest assessment of what your handicap should be?

I've PM'd you my email. Grumps

Thanks Grumps

Will check out the PM when I get home from work.

As for my handicap I am willing to play this without getting any strokes, if that is ok?

Sure, you can play off scratch Mac.

I would rather come last than finish too high because I did not come up with a reasonable handicap. It will just be fun to take part.

PS Does it always have to be on the same course?

Mac, yes, but you only have to play 8 times on the same course during a 19 week period.

Can I come in on the same conditions as mac? Only been playing a year and a half. How about I play off 12?
