Christmas Competition (Shotgun Start)
Seniors American Greensome Stableford
Congratulations to John Hawley & Paul (The Shorts) Baker on winning the Seniors American Greensome Stableford on the 12th of December 2024, with a score of 33 points over 14 holes.
This was our Christmas comp with a Shotgun Start, and it successfully brought back a lot of camaraderie in the clubhouse, so we will be looking to do some more of these in the New Year.
Spare a thought for Tony Merrin who was about to play as a late entry favour to make up the numbers. Tony fell on his way to the Tee, resulting in a broken arm (just what he wanted for Christmas). We wish him a speedy recovery and hope to see him back playing golf soon
The full results are in the results section.
ALL SENIOR WINTER COMPETITIONS
Senior Competition will ONLY be played if 11 holes minimum are open.
All Competitions will be played over the number of holes open on that day
The Pro will have ALL the up-to-date details of that day's competition
Please read the rules that apply from the fixtures list
You can play casual golf if the course is open with less than 11 holes.
It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to view the Course status via the Club V1 App on the day to establish whether the Comp will be taking place and over how many holes
New Divisional Handicaps
In the future Division 1 will have 0-14 handicaps, and Division 2 will have 15-36 handicaps. This should balance the number of players in each division. If the numbers become unbalanced, they will be reviewed again.
The new calculation for Yellow Winter Course handicaps will mean most players will receive 3 shots fewer than last year's winter allowance.
