Groupings for Elfordleigh – first tee 1:00pm
We have 21 players for Sunday, so we’re proposing to tee off as 3x 4-ball groups and 3x 3-ball groups.
We’ve also tried to factor in buggy use and sharing thereof.
For team competition purposes, we propose that the four balls will play better-ball matchplay as normal. The 3 ball groups will play Stableford and team points will be allocated for the top 3 recorded scores. That way, we have a total of 6 points to play for on the first day. Of course, points allocation can be finally negotiated after the result in the bar on Sunday evening.
The running order is as follows:
- Steve Christie, Pete Cosford, David Wain
- Laura Craston, Paul Needle, Martin Sykes
- Reg Brown, Phil Reay, Nigel Wain
- Derek Craston & Chris Wain vs Rob Austen & Sue Scott
- Helen Craston & Steve Mulford vs Trina Brown & Dave Scott
- James Austen & Phil Williams vs Richard Edmonds & Jane Wain
