THE CURTLEY CUP
Sunday, 23rd June 2002
THE TOURNAMENT:
Teams of 3
or 4 to play an ambrose event over nine holes.
The handicaps are to be added and then divided by the number of players in
the group times two (ie 3 players, divide by 6).
Each
player in a four player group must have his drive used twice except one player
selected at the beginning (with normal SMERGS diplomacy) must use three drives;
in a three player group each player is to have his tee shot used three times.
Each player is to put in one brand new boxed ball in accordance with the definition as defined by the SMERGS match playing committee.
No loss of handicap considering measly number of golf balls submitted!
THE WINNERS:
1.
The winning group will be
determined by the lowest nett score. –
2.
The group with the lowest gross
score will be acknowledged as having achieved exactly that on the day. –

FIFTH ANNUAL CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP
(hereinafter referred to as ‘The
Championship’) for the
QUEEN’S BIRTHDAY REPUBLICAN
TROPHY (the ‘BEIGE JACKET’)
ROYAL NORTHBRIDGE G.C. – Monday
10th June 2002
Order of Play
·
The
Club Championship shall be played over 18 holes. The first tee will be
available from 6.30 am. All competitors should be on the first tee for the
‘Call to Order’ by 6.20 am.
·
Groups
shall be determined using the traditional SMERGS method.
·
Players
shall be required to contribute 3 new individually-boxed golf balls each (balls
to match the boxes, please; Rockets acceptable) by way of entry fee.
·
Because
members have experienced some embarrassment (even felt really stupid) in the
singing of the SMERGS song (especially near a main thoroughfare), this will NOT
be part of the proceedings. Instead, each member shall recite (sotto voce
if preferred) "I still call Northbridge home" as he tees his ball on
the first tee.
·
Play shall be from the blue tees.
·
The
designated marker for each group shall be required to keep the stroke and
stableford score for each player in his group, as well as to calculate the
team’s stableford average.

Rob Miller |
Longest Drive: 14th hole - Rob Miller was the only person to get on the fairway! Rob's shot hit a tree and bounced back onto the fairway, but only a about a 100mtrs from the tee. This would have to be the shortest "longest drive" in the history of the Smergs).
Due to the number of players there were no front nine/back nine prizes.
