Notes on competitions etc that were previously published in the club handbook are not Rules of Castlefields Golf Club, and so do not need to be voted in at the AGM. However, as a courtesy, the committee announced last year that the following rule will be added for the 2025 / 26 season. This is a reminder to give you time to get some qualifying cards in during the early events of 2025.
The Captain and committee reserve the right to make further changes before the season starts.
COMPETITION RULES AND CONDITIONS OF ENTRY
16. When playing in any major competition including the Fourball Cup and President’s Cup, but not the Lewis Broadley Shield and Philip Bentley Trophy, members who have not played in three qualifying competitions in the preceding 12 months will be limited to three quarters of their handicap. For clarity general play cards do not count as a qualifying competition. Members who have been issued with a new WHS handicap in the preceding 12 months will be exempted from this penalty.
If any member feels that there are extenuating circumstances why the penalty should not be applied, they can appeal to the committee before the relevant competition.
As usual, we are keen to attract new blood to the committee. If you are interested in putting yourself forward please contact the Membership or General Secretary as soon as possible.
There is also a sheet in the Clubhouse where you can sign up.
