Competition format is Singles Stableford, off current Playing Handicap (85%)

NOTE:

Weeks 1 to 5 are cumulative weekly scores.
Finals: all teams start at 0 (zero) for that weekend. i.e. No scores carried over from the previous round
In ALL matters relating to the Golf League, the Competition Secretary’s decision is final.

How to complete a score for the league

Posting a completed score for the league is confined to cards correctly submitted from golf played during weekend club competitions only (Saturday or Sunday)
The League format is run simultaneously with the weekend club competitions.
You enter the individual weekend competition as normal, pay the weekend competition entry fee and your score will also be recorded in the League.
Only completed scores recorded on the golf club’s software system will be accepted.

IMPORTANT NOTICE:

In the interest of fairness, Players can only enter one card per weekend.
The first day of play will count as your score. So, if you normally play in the competition on both days over the weekend, your first day’s play will count as your score
If you only play one day over the weekend regardless of which day it is, your score will automatically be included.
If you enter a competition over a weekend and do not return a card or are disqualified from that competition, the NR or disqualified result will not stand as your league result.

League Updates

After each weekend, the scores will be tallied, and the league table will be posted on web.

Weather affecting Play

If bad weather affects the course the following rules will apply.

If the green keeper declares the course unplayable and the club competition is unable to be played or completed on either Saturday or Sunday scorecards for the league on that weekend cannot be accepted and therefore the league for that weekend will be null and void.
If the green keeper declares one or more holes out of play on any given day and the committee decide to still have a competition, then the League for that weekend will stand. 2 points per hole will be added to each players score for the out of play holes.
If we have inclement weather on any given weekend and the course is still open and the competition has not been cancelled scores will count for the league even if some members decide not to finish their round.
If a weekend is null and void, the League Section will just be reduced. If more than 2 weekends are null and void, the League Positions will be decided by the accumulative total of the round(s) that have been played within the League section.
If a weekend of the Final is null and void, the competition just moves onto the next weekend and so on until the finals are played and a winner declared.

NOTE: In order to win a team prize, even if you have not contributed a score, you must have played 3 out of the 6 weekends

Thanks
