Each event will be a 72 Hole Stableford tournament. Play will be off Full handicap. The tournaments are for Men and ladies only.
There will also be a fun warm up 4 ball team Am-Am on the first day. One low handicap (Captain), 2 medium handicaps and 1 Higher Handicap in each team. Two scores to count on Par 5's, 3 scores to count on Par 4's and all four to count on Par 3's. A great way to get to know your fellow competitors in a lighthearted competition.
In the first 2 rounds players will be drawn to play with others of a similar handicap. In the final two rounds the draw will be made according to position in the tournament. The leaders will go out last.
Where possible play will be from tee boxes giving a course length of between 6,400 and 6,600 yds.
On arrival at the club, before the first round, handicaps will be checked. Your handicap must be up to date from a bona fide golf club, affiliated society. The maximum handicap allowed will be 18 for men and 30 for ladies. If your handicap is higher than this you may still play but you will have to play off 18 or 30.

Men competing for their stakes and Ladies for theirs. The winning Am Am team will take all. The Tournament director reserves the right to adjust these payouts depending on numbers attending.
There will be a nearest the pin each day and prizes for overall positions down to a minimum of 6th place.
