The following is an explanation of some of the summer season competitions and a reminder of how they work.
Birdie Tree
Once a player has a Gross Birdie (or better) during any SGL medal,
Stroke play or Stableford competition, she can put her name on a flag and pin
it on the first ‘nest’ on the Birdie Tree in the upstairs Ladies Locker
Room. When she has another Birdie, she progresses up to the next ‘nest’
and so on. There is a Robin trophy for the player with the most Birdies in
Division 1 and a Pheasant Trophy for the player with most Birdies in Divisions
2 & 3 combined. The office will provide birdie reports for each
competition as a means of verification.
Par Bar
In the same way as for the Birdie Tree, Gross Pars may be recorded by entering the details (name, date, hole on which Par was scored) on a card and posting it in the pocket of the Par Bar chart behind the door in the Ladies Locker Room. A trophy will be presented at the end of the season for the player with the most Pars in Divisions 2 & 3 combined. Again, the office will provide a report for verification purposes.
Summer Ringer
Similar to the Winter Ringer, cards can be submitted for the Summer Ringer for rounds played as part of a competition or during bounce games (up to a maximum of two per week) on Lansdowne. The first score recorded must be over 18 holes; thereafter at least 9 holes must be played. The player can improve the score on up to three holes on each card and the score on each hole can be improved only once after submission of the first 18 hole card. The Hilda Hendry Memorial Trophy is awarded to the player with the lowest final score less half her handicap index as at 30th September.
Summer Eclectic
The Eclectic runs on all Strokeplay and Stableford competitions on Rosemount over the summer. This is administered by the office and updates will appear on the IG software.
Competitions (including Alternate
Days)
There
will now be an entry fee of £1 payable prior to every full
section competition (50p for all Wee Course competitions). In addition,
all ladies wishing to enter the full section competition will have the chance
to enter an optional sweepstake and an optional twos which will cost £1 and 50p
respectively per competition.
On a
medal day (inclusive of Alternate Days), all ladies should check in at the PSI
system in the Foyer OR
use their Smartphone app to check in before
play. At
this point the compulsory entry fee of £1 (50p for Wee Course competitions)
will be taken and all full section competition ladies will then have the option
of entering the sweep/twos competition.
The sweep
money won will be returned to the members Clubhouse (bar) account and the twos
money won will be put on to the members Pro Shop account. Please note failure to check in before
play will mean that the player will be unable to enter their scorecard after
their round.
Full details of these and all Summer competitions
are available in the Ladies Competition Bible in the upstairs locker room.
