Players in the Ambrose Pairs Competition on Saturday December 29 2018 please observe the following competition format, as described in Golf Australia’s:
GOLF COMPETITIONS AND HOW THEY ARE PLAYED – Golf Australia Advice (Version – 10 July 2015)
Ambrose Competition
This event can be played as a two, three or four-person event. {Lakeside’s event is a two-person event}.
Each player plays a tee shot at each hole. The Captain then selects the best drive which is then played by its owner. The other members retrieve their balls and in turn drop within one club-length of the selected position and play their second shots. This procedure of selecting the best position continues until a ball is holed. When on the green, balls are placed on the selected spot.
This event can be played as a gross event, with each group having a spread of handicaps, or as a handicap event where a fraction of the aggregate handicaps is used. The most common method of determining handicap is: Two-person event – ¼ of aggregate stroke handicap; Three-person event – 1/6 of aggregate handicap; Four-person event – ⅛ of stroke handicap. {Lakeside’s event is played as a handicapped stroke event, so ¼ aggregate stroke handicaps will be applied}
{For the Lakeside Ambrose Pairs event, each team member must, as a minimum, use 6 of their drives as the team’s first shot}.
