Inactive Handicaps
The Club Ruling applies also to the Senior Section. For Members who have an Inactive Handicap this means:
- They may play in all Medal and Stableford Competitions but will not be awarded any prize should they win. Any card they submit will count towards the three required to Activate their Handicap.
- They may play in all Extra Competitions and should they win, will receive a prize as normal.
- Only Members with an Active Handicap are eligible for selection to play in Club Matches or Knockout Competitions.
- Please contact Ray Harrison (01775 722839) should you require further guidance on this subject.
Qualifying Competitions Registration
The Seniors Section will use the clubs computer systems to manage the results for each qualifying competition. To participate in any of these competitions you MUST register on the clubs computer before proceeding to the first tee. On completion of your round you will need to login to the clubs computer again and enter your score, on a per hole basis. The clubs computer system uses Howdidido, more details of this system and a help contact is provided in the Howdidido paragraph below.
