CLUB HANDICAPS
The Club’s handicapping system has been reviewed and a few amendments made since the end of last season. A document outlining the system will be displayed at the green but the key changes are :-
- Any player who hasn’t won a club competition or team merit will, at the discretion of the Committee, be eligible to play off +6.
- A player winning a non-random doubles competition (Chairman’s Shield and Vice-Presidents Pairs) will have 1 point deducted from their handicap.
The changes will take effect from the start of the 2023 season.
