MARSHALL MAGIC CONTINUES!

After 7 rounds of golf it came down to the final green and the final putt for Brett, Rich and Shane.  The Wobbly Fat Man was there for the taking as Shane started the day with a 6 point lead over Brett.  Shane showed true grit and did NOT succumb to the pressure by shooting an even par 36 points.  He was visibly shaking when standing over his final par putt... an 11 foot downhill left to righter.   With the grit of a wiley veteran, the American slammed in the putt and shouted for joy, knowing he had a shot on the hole and 3 points.    However, Brett pulled out his best Tiger impersonation and shot a career-high 42 points that included 4 birdies and an eagle on a par 4!  After watching Shane drain his putt, the two-time Bda Tour winner snuck in a downhill left to right 6 footer to halve the Stableford contest.   Since the Stableford points were tied, the tie-breaker rule in place for 3 years was used to determine the winner.  The discarded round was then counted and Brett prevailed with a +10 round over Shane's +12 round.

A heroic effort by Rich in the inaugral Match Play event saw him come back from 3 down to end the match all square with Shane.  Since no tie-breaker rule was in effect for the new Match Play plate, Shane and Rich agreed to share the plate for 6 months each.

 
2008 Leaderboard

The BDA Tour Stroke-play plate is played over 7 rounds. The best six rounds are used to calculate the TOTAL. Each players worst round will be discarded and will be highlighted in red. The leaderboard will not show the discarded rounds until 4 rounds have been played. If at the end of the tournament there is a tie, the discarded round will be used as the tie-breaker. If the scores are still tied then round 7 will be used, then round 6 and so on.

Once again the Blue team went out to an early lead and captured the Resident's Cup.  The Red team was technically still in it with 2 days to play but they needed to run the tables to halve the score.  It was not to be and Fairway Faries' undefeated run in the Residents Cup came to an end!

Brett ‘Masters’ Marshall

img_6372-1Brett started both the 2004 and 2005 tours but failed to finish either one.  In 2004 it was a work commitment that meant he had to miss the final round.(He finished 3rd).  In 2005 it was his son’s scare with cancer that meant he had to leave halfway through round 6.  After 5 rounds he was only 4 shots back from Shane and very much in the hunt for the wobbly fat man trophy.  He finished 3rd again.   In 2006, it was third time lucky, he managed to stay for the entire trip and in the process won himself the coveted wobbly fat man trophy.  It was a comfortable win, finishing the week on 5 over par and with a 13 stroke lead over a festering and oozing Mike Jones.  Emboldened by his victory in 2006, Brett confidently predicted another win in 2007.  A great start ensured a 11 shot victory despite a heroic last day effort from "Flipper" Munday and unusually good play from "Fairway" Faries.

Tour attendance:  2004 (3rd), 2005 (3rd), 2006 (1st), 2007 (1st), 2008 (1st)

Tour Rules

Strokeplay Tournament Rules

The main tournament is a strokeplay tournament over 7 rounds. The scoring format will be a stableford format which is then converted to a net score. Stableford format is based on 0 points for net double bogey or worse, 1 point for net bogey, 2 for net par, 3 for net birdie and soon. The reason we use stableford is so that anyone failing to finish ahole will get 0 points on that hole rather than being DQed as in medal play. In order to convert the stableford score to a format similar to the scoring format used on the PGA tour we will take the player's stableford score away from a base 36 (ie 18 net pars). Therefore someone scoring 42 points will have scored -6, someone scoring 30 will be +6 and someone scoring 36 will be even par. The winner will be the player with the lowest score after taking the best 6 scores from the 7 rounds played.  If there is a tie, then the winner will be the player with best score from the discarded round.  If the scores are still tied then the score of the final round will be used (regardless of whether it was a discarded round), if still tied then use round 6 and so on down the rounds. The winner of the strokeplay tournament gets to keep the BDA Strokeplay Plate for 1 year and also receives the coveted Wobbly Fat Man Trophy which he gets to keep.
