Weather Contingency

As you may have noticed the weather in the last week has not been that great, so if it rains on the day, keen golfers can continue to golf ( umbrellas will be provided) or our plan B is to pay a visit to Hampton Court Palace, which is a just above the golf course, and come back in time for lunch and drinks.

Rules

Webgains Golf Day 2008 - Texas Scramble Rules

1. Each team will consist of four players or less.
2. All players can tee off at each hole.
3. The nominated team captain then selects the best drive and marks the position (within 6 inches) with a tee peg (not nearer the hole). A minimum of four tee shots per player to be used.
4. The other players then retrieve their balls.
5. The player whose ball has been chosen then plays his next shot first.
6. The remaining players then play within six inches of the tee peg (not nearer the hole). Note! Golf balls shall be placed on closely mown areas and dropped if the chosen ball in play is in the rough or a hazard.
7. The above method of play is followed until the green is reached.
8. On the green the same method applies. The ball chosen is marked by a putter head length and players putt from the same spot in turn.
9. Each player must mark the ball after putting. Play continues from each chosen position until the ball is holed.
10. The score is the total number of shots from the chosen spots (including the tee shot). Note! If a player putts and misses but then inadvertently knocks the ball into the hole, then that score counts.
11. At the end of the round the total for each hole is added together and the strokes received subtracted to give the total net medal score for the round. The winning team will be the one with the lowest medal score.
12. All other rules of golf apply to the “Ball in Play” In particular please be aware of Rule Team members are not allowed to position themselves on or close to an extension of the line of play or the line of putt behind the ball.

If there is anything I've forgotten or if you have any questions, please feel free to give me a shout.

Note that Hampton court flower show is in this week so the traffic can be pretty grotty

If you have a choice you'd be better coming in via Kingston, then over Kingston Bridge, turn left , and the entrance to the course is just before the lights.
Google Maps

I think the entrance on Hampton court road is the one for the flower show.

Given that I can almost see the entrance from our office I'll try not to be as late as I was last time :blush

Thanks for posting the list. I thought I was on it as I am pretty sure I had received confirmation, but not to worry. Thanks for the game last year

Hi David,

Sorry mate, seems there was a mixup with the names, Ian Saunders in the first 4 ball is not actually attending so it looks like it was an error on our part.

You're still on the confirmed attendees list so if you're keen to take part, we'd love to have you come along to join us.

Please could you let me know if you're still interested and I'll amend the attendees list.

Cheers

Andy

Thanks Andy. I feel guilty now :blush

See you tomorrow

[Andrew Copeland]

No need to feel guilty mate. Glad you can make it.

We've had a slight reshuffle of the teams so you're in my group (we tee off last so no one watching :tup) Oh and except for me, everyone in our 4 ball is a David
