Sunday Mixed 4BBB
It was good to see 22 players today for our first monthly mixed event and after round get together. This included 7 visitors from Kiama and the Links Shell Cove. Welcome.
The scoring was sensational with the winning team of Leanne and Jeremy from the Links posting 49 points! April and Colin looked the goods with 47 points until that last group upset the Apple cart.
Tracey and Colin played extremely well to finish on 45 points which included a 2/5 for Tracey on the 13th!
Both Col Booth and Tracey Watson scored “aces” today. Unfortunately they were into the footgolf holes.
Full Results are printed below. The next mixed day will be held on Sunday September 17 where we will play the Mixed Foursomes Championships over 27 holes. This is a Jamberoo Honour Board event. Tee off times will be from 7.30 am in order to fit in the extra holes. [play the front nine first, then play the whole 18 holes, starting at 1, again].
What is the difference between a 4BBB and a 2BBB?
You may know that it is called a “fourball” because there are 4 balls in play for each group at any one time. Each group is then divided up into two teams of two. The term ‘best ball’ means that only the best score for each team needs to be scored for each hole. Here is an example of how to score the card.
| Player A | Player B | score | Marker A | Marker B | Score |
| 5/2 | 2 | 7/1 | 1 | ||
| 3/4 | 4 | wipe | wipe | 0 | |
| 6/1 | 1 | 4/4 | 4 | ||
| 4/2 | 2 | 3/3 | 3 |
Add up the team scores at the end to find out the overall team score.
A 2BBB event is slightly different in that both players scores are recorded for each hole. It is like playing an individual in conjunction.
| Player A | Player B | score | Marker A | Marker B | Score |
| 5/2 | 5/2 | 2 | wipe | 7/1 | 1 |
| 4/3 | 3/4 | 4 | wipe | wipe | 0 |
| wipe | 6/1 | 1 | 4/4 | 5/2 | 4 |
| 4/2 | 5/1 | 2 | 3/3 | 3/3 | 3 |
At the end add up each player’s individual score and the team score.
Some variations of the 2B format are to play an ‘aggregate’, ie add both scores together for the team score each hole, a ‘multiplier’, where you multiply each score together to get the team score, or a ‘split six’ where the first six holes use a best ball, the next 6 use the aggregate and the last 6 the multiplier.
Volunteer Working Bee – Friday 25 August 2023
The next Club Working Bee is coming up on Friday, 25th August. The smaller gardens, where the efforts have been made so far, are starting to look really good. This is a terrific reward for all those who have given their time and energy at the first three volunteer days. Thank you for your contribution!
For members and visitors, we hope you are enjoying seeing the small changes each month. We are hoping to include small maintenance tasks as well, so if gardening is not your ‘thing’ but you are handy with a tape measure, a hammer or a paint brush, please let us know as we will be able to find a few small jobs for you too.
A small reminder for next week that work starts at 8.30am and finishes about 12 noon for lunch and a drink. Hope to see you there!
The 5th tee garden is looking good
