My name cropped up on their midlothian leaderboard last year which was a bit surprising as I knew nothing about it! I guess the club must have signed up but not told anyone they had done so! Must admit I never managed to get my head round exactly what it was and whether it had any merit as it seemed fairly arbitrary and certainly wasn't a ranking of the best golfers in the area.

Is it simply based on net scores or is there more to it?

It is based on net scores and isn't a system to rank the best golfers in the region (generally already done by the area authorities) but ordinary handicap club golfers.

This release that went out early last year explains it more fully...

OK I've read a bit more about it so it's slightly more than just net scores. It includes points for placings in events, modified by the number of competitors.

Might be fun for a forum ranking so put me in...

Ok,

offically last years highest handicap increase on the forum so will it be bottom of the table two years running.

Seems to be called 'freetime' from a provider called epicsoftware - whether there is another package hiding underneath I can't tell.
