Offline Tour 2010 - Bonus Shots

In recent events I have been 'piloting' bonus shots for Long Drive and Nearest the Pin being on any hole, instead of stipulating a particular hole for each of these. This doesn't seem to have caused any major problems and folks are continuing to submit shots. I am therefore going to continue with this as the norm in 2010, so all bonus shots - LD, NTP, HIO and LP - will be on any hole and on any course (where we have multi course events running).

One thing that I will be changing is the Nearest the Pin category, as I will no longer be having a Hole-in-One as the Nearest the Pin winner. The Hole-in-One will still receive its £10000 bonus, but the Nearest the Pin will be re-named as 'Nearest the Hole'. So to win the relevant bonus for this category will require the ball to be on the green and not in the hole.

Should someone make a Hole-in-One on the same hole that someone has entered a shot that is 'Nearest the Hole', respective players will receive their respective bonuses and the Hole-in-One will no longer take precedence, as it does currently.

Not a big change, I'll admit, but just one I wanted to make players aware of in readiness for next season.

Good thinking Daz.

I have always had a problem with remembering what hole for what!.

Could be something to do with age

This should help enormously.

Thanks
