MEN’S COMPETITION COMMITTEE UPDATE

Golfer of the Year

For 2022, and the first full season we’ve had to look forward to in a while we are introducing a new Golfer of the Year structure for both the nett and gross categories.

Rather than being based on your best scores for the year we will now look at your best finishing position in selected competitions throughout the season.

We are increasing the number of GOY competitions to 15, with the best 10 of the 15 counting

The following competitions to count for GOY:

• Singles Matchplay Qualifier
• 6 Medals
• Captains Prize Final
• Presidents Prize Final
• Vice Captains Prize
• Professional Prize
• Lady Captains Prize
• 3 stableford competitions over the months of June, July and August.

Each of the GOY events will run over a weekend similar to medal competitions with the exception of the Captains and Presidents finals, these will be for the top 60 qualifiers.

Points will be awarded for your finishing position with different levels of competitions having different weightings as follows:

• Captain and President Prize finals:

o 1st – 250 points

o 60th place – 62 points

• Medals:

o 1st – 220 points

o 100th – 21 points

• Vice-Captain, Lady Captain, and Professional Prizes:

o 1st – 200 points

o 100th – 20 points

• Other stableford comps (X3):

o 1st – 180 points

o 100th – 9 points

We hope that this new format will generate an extra layer of competitiveness and excitement throughout the season and finds a worthy winner at the end. The first event is fast approaching on the weekend of April 9th-10th so hope to see as many of you as possible on the timesheet.

  Holes not Played

A requirement under the new WHS system requires players to record when holes are not played during a competition. This can happen if a player comes in off the course due to injury or for any other reason.

When entering your scores on computer you must enter “Hole Not Played” on the touch screen for each hole that wasn’t played.

“0NR” is only entered if you play a hole and don’t score on it
Club Matchplays

The entry sheets for the Fourball, Foursomes, Scotch Foursomes and Gross club matchplay competitions are posted on the notice board in the men’s locker room. There is no qualifying for these competitions. If you are interested in playing, please put your name on the sheet for the relevant competitions. Closing date 18th April

Alternately you can also enter by sending the particulars to the competition secretary which must include both names and a contact number for one person. Don’t forget to include which competition you are entering. Send this by email to [email protected] or by text/WhatsApp on 087-9073495
