Gents Stroke Play Competition Rules

1. Competition Entry:
a. Start times are available through the Pro Shop, from the Sunday three weeks in advance of the Competition and a Reserve List started when tee times are fully booked. Members can book 1 block tee time for a maximum of 3 names, including their own, for a Medal/Stableford Competition or 4 for a Better Ball Competition. Payment will be taken on the day of the Competition. Start sheets will be posted in the Pro Shop and on the Club Website in the week before the Competition.

b. Competitors must have an Active Handicap. Members with an Inactive Handicap may play in the Competition, and whilst they can win subsidiary prizes (e.g. 2’s sweep), they cannot win any Stroke Play prizes.

c. Entrants who fail to turn up without notifying of their intention to withdraw will be liable for one of the following sanctions:
1st No Show - A Warning.
2nd No Show - 2 Competition Ban.
3rd No Show – Further sanction.

To be fair to all, Members must be aware, that if their name has been put down on the Start Sheet by a colleague, and that named member fails to show up for their allotted time, that member will still be liable for one of these sanctions.

d. Prospective competitors who withdraw either on the day of the Competition or on the day before, are liable for the Entry Fee.

e. Members can still play in the Medal/Stableford Competitions after the time reserved for the Competition. They should register and pay their entry fee in the Pro Shop and enter their score in the computer as normal.

2. Competition Tees
Unless otherwise stated all Competitions will be played from the White tees.

3. Returns of Scorecards
All competitors in Qualifying Competitions must return their score cards, whether complete or not. Competitors must enter hole by hole scores into the computer terminal. Entrants who fail to either return or record their scores will be liable for one of the sanctions set out in paragraph 1c. Persistent failure to return score cards will result in the suspension of the player’s handicap.

4. Ties
Unless stated in the conditions of a specific Competition. Ties will be decided on count-back on the basis of better inward half, last 6 holes, last 3 holes, etc.
