Derek is indebted to Steve Monk for providing the results along with an explanation of the format.
Results from today as promised, plus an attempt at explaining the format for what will be called Bonus Ball from now on (rather than Yellowish Ball).
Steve addressed to assembled Seniors to explain the rules as can be seen below
Results first.
37 players played Bonus Ball in a combination of 3-balls and 4-balls. (A further 12 members were playing in various knockout competitions). An adjustment was made to the 3-ball scores so that they could be equated to those from the 4-balls.
1st - Neil Sanger, Dilly Jones and Barry Evans - 155 points.
2nd - Mike Griffiths, Graham Stokes and Dave Palferman - 149 points. (Dave also had a '2' on the 12th to win the 2's kitty).
3rd - Ron Roberts, Eifion Jenkins, Peter Fraser and Bob Brown - 135 points.
Explanation of scoring for Bonus Ball (previously called Yellowish Ball).
This is played as a stableford competition, ideally in 4-ball teams.
At every hole all four stableford scores count towards the team total, and a 'bonus' score is added. The bonus score is derived as follows.
At all holes on the front 9 of the course (holes 1 to 9 inclusive), the lowest stableford points score from the 4 team members is added as the bonus score.
At all holes on the back 9 of the course (holes 10 to 18 inclusive) the highest stableford points score from the 4 team members is added as the bonus score.
Some examples:-
On Hole 1, say, the 4 players record scores of 6/2, 4/3, 6/1, 5/2. The bonus score is the lowest of these, i.e. 1. So the team total for the hole is 9.
On Hole 7, say, the 4 players record scores of 5/2, 6/2, 5/3, 7/0. The bonus score is the lowest of these, i.e. 0. So the team total for the hole is 7.
On hole 10, the 4 scores are 4/4, 6/2, 5/2, 6/1. The bonus score is the highest of these, i.e. 4. So the team total for the hole is 13.
On hole 17, the 4 scores are 3/3, 4/2, 6/0, 5/1. The bonus score is the highest of these, i.e. 3. So the team total for the hole is 9.
