Note 1

In the event of a tie the winner shall be decided on the last 9, 6, 3 or 1 holes.

In strokeplay, ½ handicap will be allowed on last 9, 1/3 handicap on last 6, 1/6 handicap on last 3 and 1/8 handicap on last 1.  Handicap is not taken into account for any Putting prize.

Note 2

Matchplay Competitions.  Knockout competitions must be played by the specified cut-off date.  There is no leeway unless it has been authorised by the Lady Captain.  Top name on the draw shall offer choice of 3 dates to opponent.  If no arrangement made after half the qualifying time it becomes the responsibility of the other player to fix a date.  In the event of no date being acceptable then the player available on the last day of that round shall be entitled to a walkover.  Any deviation from above shall be brought to the notice of Lady Captain and she will mediate.  In the event of a match being undecided after 18 holes the match shall continue until one side wins the hole.  Strokes shall be taken at the appropriate holes.

Note 3

All play and competitions shall start from the 1st tee (or 10th if playing back nine) unless otherwise decreed.

Note 4

Summer Eclectic competition scores on temporary greens are NOT permitted. 

Winter Eclectic competition scores (including Candlesticks) on temporary greens ARE permitted.

Note 5

First Candlesticks card may be played over 9 or 18 holes.  Once 18 holes completed subsequent cards must be played over a minimum of 9 holes (but not necessary to hole out on 9 holes).  A maximum of 6 cards can be submitted (normally playing 9 holes only counts as 1 of the 6 cards).

Note 6

In most strokeplay trophy competitions there will be a separate Qualifying Stableford alternative for a voucher prize.

Note 7

Normally most trophies will be presented at either Spring or Autumn meetings or AGM or the Christmas Lunch (or the weekend following these meetings) whichever first occurs after the competition has been completed.
