I should add, our Club Champion is the lowest gross score over two 18-hole rounds (so a scratch competition), but we also record the scores for a Net Champion over the same two rounds.

Does your club have any kind of qualification for members' entry to your annual championships (CCs)? We can safely, I think, assume the following: 1 - You're a current member (though there may be a minimum period, i.e. so you can't have just joined the day before) 2 - You have a current WHS...

As our members have actually been pretty good I've never had to do this before, so where do I find, or how do I calculate, this?

By the way, I got a response back from one of them (the same one as sent the first message) just before 11pm: "Don't worry about it." Not sure that's quite the optimal approach to gathering any sympathy from the competitions secretary!

So, I think we're in agreement that it's a penalty score, but I'm not sure how to enter it. Do I... Enter their cards in our scoring system (MasterScoreboard) as 18 NRs (perhaps marking them as DQs), then publish to England Golf WHS then tick the 'Penalty Score' box in WHS, or... Just enter a...

Yes

Today is an alternate day of our March Medal (which is a Handicap Qualifier). Two members declared their participation today at just after 11am. At 16:16 one of them sent a message to the club which read "Neither Bob or myself will be submitting a card for the monthly medal." (name changed to...

Ah, I see, thanks both (and Rulefan). It's a(nother) good point and one we should work on clarifying.

Thanks, Jules I'm strongly inclined to agree. Much like players only being required to submit accurate gross hole-by-hole scores, leaving the net/stableford calculation to the committee (in reality to the software used by the committee) on the rounds that playing a round of golf is an exercise...

Well, that's a good question actually. I'm not sure we've published anything specifically about that, at least not that covers online entry. But my question was really about RandA rules.

We use online entry for our Monthly Medals (plus a few other comps when there's no carbon-based unit available to fulfil the scorer duties), for which we ask that the marker enters the player's score via the MasterScoreboard webpage after agreeing the scores with the player after completing the...

Well, the fact that all the pro-shop staff are losing their jobs does not suggest the course has any future beyond December.

Yeah that's the same email the 5 and 7 day members got from Caroline the manager. We also heard the 'Birch' name. The hypothesis is that the site will become a closed-gate wellness venue with 'glamping' accommodation. Prior to the pandemic the hotel seemed reasonably busy. Coming off from the...

Yes, I think Man Utd used to use it regularly when playing at Selhurst Park.

Agreed. Covid has been devastating for the whole De Vere portfolio. They're probably trying to avoid liquidation.
