Waitlisted Players (in order of priority – Handicap Index at close of entries with ballot falling at +2.6)
* Please note – where Handicap Index has been assessed for balloting purposes, adjustments have been made where there is a variance of more than two strokes between a player’s General Play Scores and Competition Scores, in accordance with Handbook Section J3. This has had the effect of moving a number of players with a Handicap Index of better than +2.6 to a position on the Waiting List.
