Hiddenbrooke Results

A great turnout of 51 players ventured out to Hiddenbrooke to play this local course favorite. Despite the gusting winds and tricky greens, good scores were to be had. Under the Criss Cross format, players could salvage some bad front nine scores by playing well on the back nine, while others who posted good front nine scores could be ultra aggressive on the back nine. Strategy and good course management played vital roles in this scoring format.

After the results were tabulated, it was another tournament entered, another victory. Joe Young (net 26) used timely scoring and a healthy bicep to win the A flight while Shirley Lee (net 23) shot a scorching net 62 to capture the B flight. This same duo most recently won at the Marc Rice and must be considered early favorites for the Club Championship next month.

The question now remains: can anyone stop them on their winning streak? Perhaps David Yip, who shot a remarkable 1-under par, gross 71 (4 birdies, 3 bogeys), will have something to say about that. Or Dianne Richmond who finished 2nd by shooting a net 66 and finished 3rd at the Marc Rice. If you don’t come out and play, you’ll never give yourself the chance. Congratulations to Shirley and mighty Joe who each won $40 and a box of Titleist Pro-V1s and to all the winners.

Format: Criss Cross
The format of this tournament will be Criss Cross, an individual scoring format where each player gets to compare corresponding scores on their scorecard and choose the lower of two scores, resulting in a 9-hole total score. Basically, the Front 9 holes are paired up with the corresponding Back 9 holes. In other words, think of No. 1 and No. 10 as a pair, No. 2 and No. 11 as a pair, No. 3 and No. 12, and so on up to No. 9 and No. 18.

Following the round, compare the net scores recorded on No. 1 and No. 10 and circle the lower of the two. Compare No. 2 and No. 11 and circle the lower of the two, and so on through No. 9 and No. 18. Then add up the 9 holes you’ve circled for your total score. Scoring is based on net scores utilizing full handicaps.

Prizes: 1st, 2nd and 3rd low net in A and B flights. Tiebreakers will be used for low net ties.

Closest to the pin prizes on all par 3s. There will be only one CTP marker for both flights on each hole, so make sure you put your name down for the correct flight.

To speed up play, on the back 9 you may pick up your ball if your net score for the hole is already higher than the corresponding hole for the front nine. For example, if you shot a 6 on Hole 1 for a net 5, and you are already sitting 6 on Hole 10 with no chance for a net 5, you may pick up since you already have a net 5 as your score for those pair of holes. For posting purposes, treat your score as if it were match play. Record the score you most likely would have made had you completed the hole, and you can adjust later under equitable stroke control when posting your score.

Play READY GOLF and KEEP UP WITH THE GROUP IN FRONT OF YOU.
