- All ya'll need to do is to call and book a room,,,, lots of choices,, from living in a house with a foundation, to providing your own shelter,,, and lots of choice between those to.

- If you can convince someone to hook up with, then the houses work out for a pretty nice sum.

- If somebody told you that you won't need a credit card #, they were wrong, it seems there will be a need for that info to hold your spot,,,, can't say as I blame them.

Bookings are doing great....60 guest already signed up for the rally. By my list of who showed up last year, we only have 3 regular attendees that always join us not signed up yet. My guess is that they need to lock in their vacation. Hoping that some of the newer members will join us for this event . If you're and older member and never attended, this is one of the BEST rallies around, so sign up, book a spot and join in the fun.

Hey Saddlebum, I think you can gobbleligoop here......You sure Carl is a friend of yours? lol He sure is tough on you. If you need a new friend , let me know. MAYBE I can find you one. Not anyone I know but someone who doesn't know you at all and is willing to give you a shot. P.S. Don't think that I'm sticking up for you or anything because you know how I feel, just my opinion that's all...lol:stickinouttounge:

Saddlebum has agreed to run the PUTT PUTT tournament. There will be a $5.00 fee to enter and the winner will receive 50% of the proceeds collected. Rules will be determined by the BUM and all decisions during play will be final. (that last line was for you Steamer...you big cheat).The tournament will take place on Friday after supper @ 7pm sharp. He (the Bum) will have a start up sheet and collect fees and award the prize to the winner. All putters used WILL BE HOUSE CLUBS...! (that was for you buffalobodnar..another big cheat).. so join in the fun. Men and women will compete against each other...​Don't forget to book your room etc. @ the shores..

So never having played PUTT PUTT and being designated ref. I had to search the rules. there seems to be some variation but the two sets of rules that seem to hold most consistently are the US official PUT PUTT rules and the Basic PUTT PUTT rules. Since this is all for fun I would suggest we just stick with the basics or something similar to it. Oh and steamer there does not seem to be any mention of replacing an opponents ball with a Rock in any of the rules I researched. Besides BIG TOM found out about the incentive deal I offered you and YELLED AT ME>:yikes:

 

BASIC PUTT-PUTT MINI GOLF RULES

 

The OBJECT of Mini Golf is to get the ball in the hole using the LEAST amount of strokes.

 

DEFINITION OF A STROKE: Every time the putter touches the ball, that counts as ONE STROKE. Regardless of whether it barely rolled at all, regardless of whether you meant to do it or not … it still counts as a stroke.

If you swing and MISS entirely, we are NOT counting that as a stroke. To save face, umm … errr … we’ll call that a practice swing. (grin)

 

We use the HONOR SYSTEM when counting our strokes. It’s all about having fun so please don’t ruin it by cheating. Please keep track of your strokes accurately. One person in your group will be in charge of writing down the scores.

 

BALLS LEAVING THE PUTTING AREA: If you hit your ball too hard and it bounces OFF the putting area, you must start again from the tee. The errant shot counts as a stroke. You do NOT receive an additional penalty stroke. Your penalty is having to start from the tee again.

 

WHO HITS FIRST? Decide amongst your group the order on the first hole. After that, typically, the person who scored lowest on the previous hole has “Honors” (hits first). If no one scored lower on the previous hole, use the same order you used last.

 

WHO HITS FIRST AFTER TEEING OFF? After all have teed off, whoever is FARTHEST from the hole is the first to hit. This continues until the hole is completed.

 

HITTING YOUR BALL INTO ANOTHER BALL: Each of you will be issued a penny to be used as a ball marker. If you think your ball might be in the way, mark it. (replace it with the penny in the exact spot you ball sat)

 

The game of mini golf consists of playing a ball from the tee into the hole by a stroke or successive strokes in

accordance with the rules posted at the tournament site. This tournament will be shot gun start if we have enough

foursomes.

 

A. Rules of Stroke Play

1. The team who plays the 9 holes in the fewest strokes is the winner (all four team members scores will be added

together for each hole).

2. One stroke penalty if: Ball jumps fairway – play next shot from spot where ball jumped fairway. Ball is

snagged in an obstacle – free ball and play from that spot, not nearer the hole.

3. After members of party reach putting green, the one nearest the hole will putt first and continue to putt until

ball is in cup. Do not take turns on the putting greens.

 

B. Equipment

1. Clubs

A. All participants must use club provided. Got that @buffalobodnar

2. The Ball

A. All participants must use ball provided. (no rock substitutions steamer)

 

C. Player's Responsibilities

1. Players should check their score after each hole for accuracy. Scores may not be altered once the scorecard

has been turned in. Turn in one scorecard per group. Score card must be signed by team captain.

2. There will be no handicapping of scores.

3. Players should not unduly delay play.

4. The playing of practice strokes during the play of a hole or between holes is forbidden. A practice

swing is not a stroke unless the ball is hit.

5. The number of strokes a player has taken shall include penalty strokes incurred.

After reading the rules I deduced putt putt is the Yankee version of what we call mini golf down here in the real world. Guess it's sorta like y'all ordering sodas and pops instead of a Pepsi. Guess I'll have to practice some around here with a putter, haven't golfed in years. I quit playing a few years after I got married, can't remember why I quit but I'm sure it had to do with her taking away my balls. See ya in July (I'm bringing her with me-you don't have to tell her everything I say here).
