Society Strokeplay Events
Our Society strokeplay events are 18-hole singles Stableford competitions off full handicap. Prices and other details are on the Diary page.
- Price includes 18 holes of golf followed by a 2-course meal.
- To enroll for a strokeplay event, reply to the announcement newsletter or send an e-mail to the organiser including your current handicap. Links to the organiser become active about 3 weeks prior to an event.
- Enrolments must be received at least five days before the event.
- Payment is by cheque on the day, plus £1 cash per person for the 2's Charity Sweep. A commitment to play is one to pay. No refunds are given for cancellations, or for those who do not stay for the meal.
Competition Rules
- 18-hole Stableford singles competition:
- Members play off their club handicap, less any strokes awarded for being a recent prizewinner. (See the Handicap Rules page for full details of Society cuts.)
- Men play off yellow tees, ladies off red.
- Ladies' handicaps are adjusted to take into account any differences between ladies' and men's SSS and/or pars for the course.
- Ties are resolved firstly by countback over the last nine holes and, if scores are still level, by countback over the last six holes. Finally, if necessary, countback is over the last 3, 2, and 1 holes.
- Prizes are awarded on the day to the winner and runner up and for Nearest the Pin and Nearest the Pin in 2.
- There is a 2's Charity Sweep for each event. Half the total collected goes to the Captain's charity. All those scoring birdie twos on a par 3 split the remaining half with a maximum win of £7 (the rest going to the charity).
Trophies
Strokeplay trophies are awarded as a result of performance in the 18-hole singles Stableford competitions in the main events of the season, including the AGM but excluding the Winter Warmer. The Trophy pages give the current standings; the Trophy Room shows the qualification criteria and the current holder of each trophy.
