CONGU Changes 2018

My club has started implementing the 9 hole competitions. I have not had time to play yet. I wonder if they will select the 9 holes that offer up the greater challenge....

I suspect that most clubs will do what we have done - apply for 9-hole SSSs for the front 9 and the back 9. I can imagine many problems with just picking the 9 holes someone decides are the most difficult irrespective of where they occur on the scorecard or are physically located.

That's 16% but your point stands.

oops I halved instead of doubled

As has already been said it the holes have to be specified and SSS set by County.

It is known as a designated 9 hole course.

One of the problems that has to be avoided when choosing the 9 is that practice on the course is not permitted before playing the comp If the holes are here there and everywhere and a player intends to play more than the 9 they could fall foul of this rule.
