It's poor form but not much you can do. ptefer to encourage people to play in comps so not keen on enforcing 0.1 or comp bans.
if you pull out of a comp on the day should you still get 0.1

24 hours notice or automatic ban from next comp for repeat offenders would be my suggestion.

Hell no, just think about all the bandits they would have a field day pulling out and getting a .1 onto the handicap
Quite simply no, impossible to police, there's enough rules to abide to already without anymore like this..

I’m not sure from some later comments that Rosecott’s posting has been fully grasped. Under CONGU regulations, you cannot make a 0.1 adjustment for a no show. It’s just not an option. Any response has to be a matter of club sanction.
i'm sure everyone knows full well that it's not allowed under Congu, but should more be done, it must be a factor at lots of clubs esp with the weather we get in the UK.
maybe they should, thats what i'm asking

I'm not in any way a fair weather player but if I get to the course and it's absolutely hosing down, with no sign of it stopping then, these days I'm not going out. I've gone out many times before and found, after getting soaked, that halfway round the greens have flooded and the comp abandoned, no, I'm just not going to start unless I know it'll abate and I will get to finish.

It would be so much quicker (and easier) than four putting both of the closing two holes....

If it is repeat offenders, then the Club needs to impliment a rule with some forms of sanction, a one comp ban or the likes.
Dave, i wish they would but, we have so few members playing comps, they seem reticent to do anything that will stop people entering. its not just no shows in comps i would suspect there are few daily tee times where there are no shows as well.

I'd rather see action be taken against people who NR than those who don't turn up

Boo hoo, I want people to do what I want them to do and not have a mind or life of their own. I want them to be there to entertain me when I decide they will be. I want to punish them if not.
Get a grip, it's a hobby.

Surely the simple answer is to have no tee times, and allow people to play "ad hoc", assuming they have entered the comp on the PSI or whatever it is you use? Thats the way we do it, and it works perfectly fine.
Very few of our comps have set tee times, but those that do (and I mean very few) if theres a no show, that group goes out light or if a singleton just drops back to the next group.

This was a drawn comp, we have 3 medals a month that you can play with who ever you like, no issue.

I understand, but you can't really punish someone for dropping out of something that is a hobby/spare time activity. I agree it's annoying, but thats all really.

At a course such as yours, the no shows for normal tee times could possibly affect visitors, surprised the Club haven't looked at that angle. No shows are a fact of life, but, an incentive not to ' no show ' should really be sought.
I can remember the days when start sheets were packed on a competition day, nowadays , probably only half full. A no show can leave other players in the lurch. Not good practice if it's jus bease it might rain.
Yes, people are less inclined to pull out if they will go up .1
IMO it should be .1, then .2 and then .4 during the season pull out a 4th time you would be banned from all comps that year

Imagine if that 0.1 meant giving a shot back, 5.4 to 5.5. And if that player was in a rich vein of form... Not exactly an accurate way to manage someone's handicap.
the problem is;
its a drawn comp so slots allocated, its open to members of two other clubs so is almost like an open and has a full field and had a reserve list of a almost a dozen, so if anyone had pulled out the day before the guys on there who wanted a game could still get in.
The fee's were collected on the day so the club and the prize fund was a good £150 short.
the guys who turned up to find the other members of their 3 ball had not, then had to wait till the next slot with a no show so both had a longish wait, which isn't fair on them, not for getting guys in 2 balls stuck in the middle of loads of 3 balls.
congu don't allow anyway, but if you don't just turn up and you get the "its my hobby can do as i like, my time etc" is just a bit of a selfish attitude, a bit I' all right jack
