Seniors "Yellowish Ball" Competition January 21st 2016

The weather was to say the least "raw" today with the course much less wet than 2 days ago.

Today was due to be the Seniors Medal but as 5 holes were still closed a decision made to play another format. This time a variation of the Yellow Ball competition was held. Basically the rules as follows. All members of each team record their stableford scores and then on the front 9 the lowest score is added to the cumulative score for that hole. On the back 9 the highest score on each hole is added to the cumulative score...easy!

Yellow-ish Ball

Kitty Comp game for Senior Section.

The Game played to R&A Golf Rules with Stableford scoring.

As with “yellow ball” all scores count with the nominated yellow ball doubling their score.

Note there is no loss of yellow ball scores when taking penalties, penalty shots are added to each individual gross score as normal and the yellow ball score is determined on completion of the hole as instructed below.

In this format the Yellow ball is the lowest score when playing the front nine holes in play and the highest score when playing the back nine holes in play.

For the purpose of Card checking please mark your group’s score-card with the “Gross score” /  “Points” only for each player and also the appropriate Yellow-ish Ball score as indicated with the following example below:-

Player A	Player B	Player C	Player D	Yellow Ball score	Total
Front Nine Holes in Play (Lowest score is Yellow Ball)
5/ 2	4/ 3	6/ 2	8/ 0	0	7
5/ 1	4/ 3	3/ 4	3/ 4	1	13
Back Nine Holes in Play (Highest score is Yellow Ball)
5/ 2	4/ 3	6/ 2	8/ 0	3	10
5/ 1	4/ 3	3/ 4	3/ 4	4	16
