CHANGES TO THE ORDER OF MERIT COMPETITIONS FOR 2024!
Previously (this year and last), all results have been entered into the various Order of Merit Competitions. This has resulted in the same players leading these competitions based not only on their good results, but also on the fact they have played more times than anyone else!
From 01 Jan 2024 only your best twenty results will count. You can now go on holiday without worrying too much about how your Order of Merit will suffer!
COMPETITION ALLOWANCES FOR LOW HANDICAP PLAYERS PLAYING FROM THE YELLOW TEES
The 95% allowance chart has been updated to show allowances for lower handicap players when they play from the yellow tees. Please see the Handicaps page of the website.
WEDNESDAY NIGHT POOL LEAGUE
The Winter League has now finished with The Peanuts finishing in third place. Not a bad achievement for our first season!
The Summer League commenced on 15 May.

TEMPORARY LOCAL RULE FOR ABNORMAL COURSE CONDITIONS DURING COURSE IMPROVEMENTS / MAINTENANCE
** UPDATED 04 AUGUST 2024 **
¨If a ball is in an area that has unusual ground conditions due to the recent course maintenance (newly laid turf, deep ruts made by vehicles, areas of soil or sand where bulldozers have removed the turf) then the player may take free relief under Rule 16.1¨ Please note that this does not include bare patches on the course where turf is worn rather than being physically removed by machinery.

If a ball is in a rivulet (waste areas and bunkers), a player may take free relief under Rule 16.1
PLEASE AVOID SLOW PLAY AT ALL TIMES
