Match and Handicap notice
As you are aware the match and handicap team are volunteers who give up a considerable amount of their time each week to ensure the smooth running of competitions and handicap related matters.
Since the start of the new season it has become apparent that several members are failing to fully complete their scorecard before posting it for checking.
The rules of golf stipulate that players who fail to sign their scorecard are disqualified.
Another common mistake being repeated on a weekly basis is failing to record a card number. This may appear unnecessary however when dealing with up to 120 cards it makes life so much easier when problems arise. Emails have been sent out to remind members who have omitted it however it is still happening.
After the midweek medal on 27/7/16, whereby 71 players participated, 30 cards were returned with card numbers missing, competition details missing, name of player missing and date and time missing.
As a result, the committee have made the following decision -
'As of 1st August 2016 a local rule will be introduced whereby all scorecards returned incorrectly, i.e. not containing competition details, full name, card number, date/time and handicap will be disqualified'
This decision has not been taken lightly and will assist the match and handicap team enormously.
Many clubs already adopt this policy so some members will be aware of this local ruling.
Your understating in this matter is greatly appreciated.
