Competitions

We are allowed to choose to allow methods of scoring in stroke play that do not strictly comply with Rule 3.3b, or do not comply with the normal methods used under Rule 3.3b. 

• We will put out a limited number of cards - please do not enter the clubhouse to get a card.
• Players must fill in their details on their own card and agree who is their marker, but must not exchange cards on the first tee! The player should write the marker's name where the Marker's Signature normally goes.
• Players should record their own gross scores on each hole in column A. If the competition is a Stableford also complete their own nett score and points for each hole.
• Players should record their marker's gross score on each hole in the Marker's Score Column.  If the competition is a Stableford you can also add the marker's points for each hole.
• At the end of the round, do not exchange cards! It is not necessary for the marker to sign the player’s card, but some form of verbal certification should take place
• Due to the way that the WHS works, unless it is genuinely impossible for you to do so, please enter your own score through the Master Scoreboard website and email/text/WhatsApp a picture of your card to Rob Moore (Tel: 07771 588335, email: howler@sky.com) - more details here!
• If that is impossible, please post your card in the black letter box on the outside of the clubhouse door.
• All scores and cards should be submitted on the day that you actually play.
• Please key your Gross score per hole to Master Scoreboard, it will work out your net score and Stablefords points. Enter zero for any hole where you picked up in a Stableford - just ignore NR being displayed in that case because it only applies to your total gross and nett scores.
• Due to some quirks in the new WHS for Stablefords, we recommend that you don't pick up on holes unless you are going to score a nett double bogey or worse, e.g. if your playing handicap is 17, on the stroke index 18 hole hole out for a gross 5 or better, but pick up if you cannot do better than a 6.
• Rule 3.3b of the Rules of Golf requires you to put your Course Handicap on the scorecard, but it is also recommended that you include your WHS Index and Playing Handicap also.
