As you will have seen in the letter sent out from the Club on 27th October, there are a few changes to the Winter league due to the introduction of the World Handicapping System.
The weekly winners of Winter League competitions will no longer be deducted a stroke but we intend to continue announcing the winners at the end of the Friday competitions and presenting golf balls to the winners in each division. This is a good opportunity for ladies to socialise following the game.
We will be playing off 2/3rds 95% handicap which will be calculated by the office and they will collate all the scores which should be entered into the computer in the normal way. The only competition needing your manual input will be the Winter Ringer (should you wish to enter it). Ringers cards should be placed in the box in the Locker Room following play.
Full details of the operation of all the Ladies’ Winter Competitions have been posted on the notice board in the Locker Room for you to consult at any time.
To recap, the main points regarding the operation of the Winter League from 2021 are:
- There will be no winter handicaps and no separate Summer & Winter Scoreboards
- The Winter League & Winter Eclectic on Rosemount and Stanley Clark and Winter Ringer on Lansdowne will be run as previously
- All Winter League competitions will be non-qualifying
- Winners of the weekly Winter League competitions will not have a stroke deducted from their handicap
- Competitions will continue to be over 12 holes (1-12 on Rosemount, 1-2, 9-18 on Lansdowne)
- Playing Handicaps will be calculated as 2/3rds of 95% Course Handicap
- Competition times will be mornings only (main competition on Friday and alternate day on Sunday)
- There will be a weekly prize for the winners of Div. 1 and Div. 2/3 combined
