USER1999
Grand Slam Winner
Think I may be misunderstanding but if you accept a prize of more than 500 quid then you will lose your Amateur status.
Unless your club just ignore all the rules, because the comp is a tradition. Don't get me started, I am with you on this one, but getting a 130 year old golf club to change on your own is not easy.
A mate of mine has won it twice in the last 3 years, and I keep trying to persuade him to play me off scratch, as he is now clearly a pro, but he won't have it. He still insists in playing off his club handicap of 6. he should not have one. End of.
