jus got in
here is all you need to know
The world cup of golf 2018
Well here we go again
It’s that time of year when we all make new friends and enjoy the next six months playing golf and having a chat to someone who may be on the other side of the world
This comp has truly gone global with an even greater participation this year,
We have 35 teams in with around 420 players ranging from tour masters to champions,
Our reigning champs wooden tee will have a tough time retaining their cup especially with the new teams taking part this year,
Me,Nico and Paul(dotty) will be covering 24 hours round the clock to catch up with all the posts I’m sure will be on the forum,
I would like to say a big personal thank you to nigel(wupta) who has worked very hard on the spreadsheets which look amazing and make our job so easy to work with,
Enough of my waffling let’s get this year’s world cup under way,
Round 1
March 1st to march 15th
St Andrews golf club
18 holes match play
The home of golf, a true links course. it is a risk and reward course with massive greens but lots of breaks on them, some very nasty fescue to catch any errant drives and horrible pot bunkers, a great course to kick off the world cup,
All matches are on page 1 of this forum in the groups and tabs at the bottom of the page,
RULES
Each match will be played to a win, draw lose no sudden death,
Each match will have a 2 week timeline to complete
Any matches not completed on time will be looked at by the panel and a decision made on the result depending on evidence supplied,
Any players refusing to play will forfeit their match,
Any gimmies must be agreed by both players before start
Any player with a -2 by their name must concede holes 5 and 14
Once a match been played the result will stand so it’s up to all players to check the opponents tier before start of play,
i would suggest a 90sec shot clock with maximum timeouts,theres no panic to get the game played and have a chat inbetween,
if both players agree they can have 60 or 45 that would be their choice,
No focus boosts will be allowed during matches. Use of this tool will lead to a disqualification
Players please when posting results, I would like group number, teams and players please and a short post of the match,
Let’s keep the forum busy but no negative comments from anyone, if you have problem contact your captain first,

THE ARRANGING RULES PLEASE READ
Arranging matches
Player 1
If you are the player 1 it is up to you to send a friend invite to your opponent and keep an eye on your friend list to make sure he has accepted it. If they do not accept it after 3 days let your captain know ASAP please.
Once they have accepted your friend invite it is up to them to send you a message stating what time zone they are in and what days and times they can play there match with you
You then can reply with an answer from there pick of times and dates but please remember to check the time difference 6pm where you are not 6pm all over the world so please adjust the time difference.
Player 2
If you are the player 2 you just wait for a friend invite once you have received it you need to send him some dates that you can play your match
Something like this
Hi thanks for the friend invite my time zone is GMT
Times I can play are
Thursday 24th at 7pm to 8pm my time
Friday 25th at 8pm to 9pm my time
ETC the more dates you can give them the better
But please make sure you put a time not just Thursday night or Friday night.
Do not wait for a player to be green
That does not mean anything.state an exact time between you when you
Both free and play,
That’s about it all I can say is enjoy the game and have fun
go with this attitude and it will be great 6 months
