Rules are the same as the R&A
All putts MUST be holed out- no gimees
We play Winter rules all year, balls may be cleaned and placed ONLY if on the fairway
In bunkers, balls may be placed if in a footprint
-
Verifiable handicaps are accepted
-
Proposed changes are through the committee
New handicap rules as per 2026
The main change for 2026 is that team events will NOT count towards an individuals handicap
-
Winning an event loses 1 shot
-
28pts - 36 pts...no change
-
37pts - 40pts...loss of 1 shot
-
41pts - 44pts...loss of 2 shots
-
45 pts and above....loss of 3 shots
-
Shots back...1 if score is under 28; ...2 shots back if score is under 20.
These are the handicaps for 2026.... Should you feel there is a discrepancy, please advise the handicap sec in first instance....Rob Muir.
n.b the handicap limit has been raised from 36 to 40...this applies to both men and ladies.
