Simple quick question

Does your club have a lowest gross prize in the monthly medals etc ?

Someone mentioned it to me ( think it's my 8th this year )!

That's what the club championship is for surely?

 

[Imurg]

No we don't
Wish we did...

So one comp as year for gross score and every single other no prize for the lowest score ?

 

[Region3]

Yes, but only individual medals.

Overall nett winner.
Top 3 nett per division.
Best gross.

Never been in a position to find out.....

We don't, but it would make sense and appease the whiny low handicap players who say, "I shot 4 under handicap and 1 under par and I didn't even place because of those bandit high handicappers who happen to shoot 6 under their handicap"

We play qualifiers to get into a final. The final will be a board comp. On the day, the finalists play for the trophy, the rest who haven't qualified play in a "subsidiary".

Prizes are typically:
Final: 1st - £200, 2nd - £100, B/G - £75, 3rd - £75, 4th - £50
Subsid: 1st - £120, 2nd - £75 B/G - £50, 3rd - £50, 4th - £30

Best Gross takes precedence over 3rd. Some people moan that the same few players "mop up" these prizes over the year (there are 6 main finals over the summer). Most are happy to see the best golf score on the day rewarded.

Yes
Monthly medals only
I believe 10% in ££ of the sweep pot

So it's "whiny" when someone is suggesting that possibly they should reward the player who played the best golf that day ?

Surely that's why we have different divisions

What makes you think best gross always picks up in Div 1? Certainly doesn't at our place.

Prize pool is 40% of entry fees, the balance going to 'admin'.. Of this £15 is paid to the person with the best scratch score and the balance divided between divisions according to the number of entries.

Yes
Best gross, and top 4 net in 2 divisions
