It's our scratch and handicap club championship next week, 3 rounds all strokeplay, no matchplay, so you can blow it completely on one hole- as I found out with an 11 in the third round to lose the h/cap championship by 5 shots one year.

anyone else just do strokeplay only?
 
Don't know how they do it at my club. First year there. But stroke play seems fair (hard but fair). At least the most consistent player should win. I would have thought.

P.s. I would be sick as a parrot though to blow it on the first hole.

Ours is in September (Pretty much the big Horray before the hollow tining comes out). We have 36 holes on a Sunday and is stroke off the back sticks, guaranteeing some tricky pins too.
Two comps run in tandom:
Handicaps of 8 and under are eligible to enter and play the scratch cup
The top scoring 32 from all of the monthly medals enter the handicap stroke trophy(it has a name, cant remember).

It is a brilliant day to be involved in if long, usually teeing up from 7am -9.30 for the first round then 30-45mins lunch (supplied) then back out for the second 18.

Ours are two 18 hole Qualifying rounds, the top 8 handicap and top 8 scratch go though to matchplay on the Monday, Wed, Knock outs, Friday Final.
 
We're four rounds of strokeplay with a cut after the first two. Gross scores only count towards the championship. Top 30 and ties (I think) make the cut. First two rounds are Saturday and Sunday, with the final 36 holes being held the following Saturday.

A combined handicap competition also runs during the first two rounds, and another one during the last two but these are separate competitions and we don't have any form of handicap championship prize.

Same at our place. The leaders in the main (gross) comp play in the last group in the afternoon. The men play 18 holes on Sat and Sun but not sure why...can't manage 36 in a day perhaps :whistle:

Ours is the same, men cant play 36 in one day at ours as usually too many entrants (as its a gross and nett comp) and they wouldnt all get 36 done so done over 2 days
 
36 hole gross stroke play same day max h/cap 12 to enter no draw highest h/cap out first through to lowest last. There is nett prize to. Was same at previous club where I lost nett prize on countback one year including an airshot on 1st in PM round!
 
Both clubs I play at is 36 holes stroke play, 18 each day. I am only eligible to win at the club where my handicap is kept. There are net prizes but the scratch one is the one worth winning of course.

I like this format, the Champion is the most consistent player over 4 rounds

There should be a handicap one running in tandem though I feel

Why? you are a member of each club and entitled to participate in each, if they are saying they can't trust your handicap as they have no control over it it would be fair to allow you entry into the scratch Championship then.

Are you allowed to participate in medals at both with your handicap? double standards if thats the case.
 
36 holes strokeplay, off scratch, on a Sunday. There's an 18 hole Divisional Championship played on the Saturday for those who can't make the grade or for who 36 in a day is too much.
 
Ours is a 2 day competition over 36 holes. We also run a nett comp alongside.

18hc and under eligible, all play 18 holes Saturday, tee times organised by handicap.

Top 30 in each comp (obviously there are quite a few qualify in both) go through to the Sunday for another 18 holes.
Not exactly sure how the tee times are organised with people who are top 30 in both comps, but the last few groups will be the gross leaders in scoreboard order.
 
We play 36 holes over a weekend. Top 16 scratch scores go forward to the Championship matchplay stages. These are played during the week with the Semi Finals on the Friday and the Final on Finals Day, the Saturday where all Finals are played, Ladies, Junior and handicap.
