What is the grammatical rule/convention that applies?

Guilty :oops:
I sloppily broke it in another thread the other day

Generally words ending in y would go to ies for a plural. However words ending in ey typically just have the s added for plural.
Obviously without apostrophes ? (if just for plural)
 
Doesn't 'Medal' refer to the prize?
Possibly in history.

As the authorities are rubbish, maybe the forum should come up with suggestions for a name for the competition, in strokeplay format, for the scoring type where every shot is recorded and the handicap is taken off at the end.

2) Proper

If a vowel precedes the 'y' then the ending is 'ys' - valley = valleys
If a consonant precedes the 'y' then the ending is 'ies' - boundary = boundaries
