The Format

A Stableford competition played over 36 holes for teams.

 

Additionally, the following singles competitions shall be organised to run within the main competition. These trophies can only be won by players complying with rule 1.9:

• The best gross score - The Ole Weile trophy,

If two courses are used:

• The Board of Referees decides and publishes (during captains meeting) the course to be considered as ‘Day 2’ course.
• The best three cards from a team - on each day - shall count for the Championship.
• In the event of a tie after two days competition the following shall apply:
  • Team: the fourth card on ‘Day 2’ shall count.
  • Team: the fourth card on ‘Day 1’ shall count.
  • Individual: the better card on ‘Day 2’ shall count.
  • Individual: the better score on last nine holes of ‘Day 2’.
  • Individual: the better score on last six holes of ‘Day 2’.
  • Individual: the better score on last three holes of ‘Day 2’.
  • If there is still a tie, the winner is decided by a ‘toss of a coin’.

 

Handicaps

Every individual will be assigned a ‘playing handicap’ for each course that is played. This is based on the following:

• An individual’s handicap index (or other proof of handicap) which must be confirmed when registering for the event.

• In accordance with the World Handicap System, an individual’s handicap index will be adjusted for the slope rating of the course and the tee boxes used for the competition.
• Players that have a handicap index (or other proof of handicap) above the following maximums are welcome to play but, will be assigned a ‘playing handicap’ based on these upper limits.
  • Gents 28
  • Ladies 36
• An individual’s handicap index will not be altered post registration for the event.

Note: for the higher handicaps this may result in an individual receiving a ‘playing handicap’ of more than 28 or 36 strokes.
