| Thompson Gold Challenge The Thompson Gold Challenge is our newest competition, only starting 2 years ago, but everyone who plays in it seems to really enjoy the day, (whatever the result). Every time you play a bogey, medal or stableford you have a chance to win "prize money" depending on where you finish in your section. The sections are slightly different to the Divisions and you stay in your initial section all season, whether your handicap goes up or down or both. Tigers - playing handicap of 15 or under - for full details, click on Tigers to the left Rabbits - playing handicap of 16 or over - for full details, click on Rabbits to the left As last year, the "prize money" is just for fun - Richard Badrock is not driving round in a Ferrari after winning £100,000 last year. Slight Changes to the format This year, the Captain has decided that he will captain the Tigers team, and the Vice Captain will lead the Rabbits. The numbers will be balanced by increasing the teams to 12, so at the end of the season the best 11 in each section will qualify to play in the Thompson Gold Challenge itself on Sunday 17th October. Six foursome matches are played in the morning and then 12 singles in the afternoon.
