The following is an explanation of some of the summer season competitions. Over the past two years, some of these competitions were not contested so this is 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
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.
Twos
Pay 50p at the pro-shop or starter’s hut to enter Twos. The winnings are paid to those players with 2s on their card during a competition round.

Full details of these and all Summer competitions are available in the Ladies Competition Bible in the upstairs locker room.
