Your Clubs Competition Rules

[Crazyface]

I thought struck me the other day, as I'm our new comp secretary, do all our golf competitions have their own rules and where are they? As I was at the club yesterday I asked our pro about this. He started to say that our comps would be covered by the rules of golf etc, but I stopped him and said but surely each comp must have certain rules that are for that particular comp, eg we have one for over 55's and must be played on a Saturday morning. There are others have restrictions and therefore rules. Hmmmm, dunno....hmmmm, maybe the club secretary has them but don't hold your breath.
We have a comp committee meeting due next week, I will be bringing this up at it. :thup:

Should there be rules specific to each comp written down somewhere?

 

[Deleted member 16999]

I would think there should be, if it's a standard strokeplay/stableford comp, it maybe 1 sentence that simply refers to the rules of Golf, but if it's a particular Comp with any nuances, they should be laid down, ie like you say, limited to ages or handicaps etc.
That way if there are any issues arrive during the comps the rules of said comp can be referred to.

 

[Deleted member 15344]

Each competition should have a conditions of entry/comp which will detail who can play in the comp

And each comp will be played within the Rules of golf and congu guidelines for HC purposes

We have a folder with every single comp and their Condituons of Entry

 

[duncan mackie]

There should be 3 competition documents -
1. The club's general COC. This covers the club's general competition rules and will cover things like how you settle ties, starting tees, competition entry procedures, general eligibility (you can categorise most comps and cover some issues in here), returning cards, buggies, any committee authorisations (starter, pro etc). Basically think of any questions or issues that have ever cropped up or you can think of and make sure that they can be answered by reference to this document. The rules require the committee to ensure some things are documented in this.Then make sure it's published.
2. Basic competition matrix covering all competitions and eligibility, format, tees, and any competition specific rules.
3. Local rules.
Good luck!

As Duncan says.

If you are starting from scratch it would be a good idea to take a look at what other clubs already have and make use of any bits that meet your situation using that excellent facility, copy and paste. You may find that many clubs have them, as we do, on their websites.

Here's a link to our gents' rules. The ladies and juniors have their own but all basic principles are in common.

Decision 1(j) ?

Players who hold a CONGU Club Handicap may enter any competition stated to beopen to them, subject to any maximum handicap laid down in the conditions of thecompetition.

 

[williamalex1]

We have a book available behind the bar that contains all the internal club competition rules / conditions , formats , strokes received etc .

 

[Old Skier]

If your staring from scratch it is also a good idea along with the comps condition of entry you also have a photo of any trophy that goes with the comp, it saves time when you go through the trophy cabinet.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

We have a published set of competition rules in each locker room explaining what is required to enter each one and the entry condition for each comp in date order in the appendix. Some are age related, some have a maximum handicap etc. I suggest the OP sees if there is an existing copy and then works towards getting it updated/written so everyone knows

Thanks for that. I'm still trying to set things up and haven't quite reached the fine detail. But I might have overlooked it anyway without this nudge!

This is the route I'm going down, but I thought I'd ask to see if such things exist at other clubs. although it may appear to be obvious to those who play are well organised clubs, that these things actually exist, at other places this may not be so. I've asked our pro and he does not know. It's going to be an interesting Competition Committee meeting this week.

So what happens if they return a card without the competition name on it, and where is that set out?

 

[rulefan]

oops I've read the rules....these are from your place yes?

Yes

 

[rulefan]

We only ever run one comp on any one day but your point is noted.

 

[Foxholer]

I've asked our pro and he does not know. It's going to be an interesting Competition Committee meeting this week.

Pro is probably the least likely to know of such rules! He may, if he has been there long enough, be able to suggest someone who would know where earlier documentation, of the sort you are after, might be! Previous Club Captains (or Comp Sec'ys) or even Club Secretaries, if it's that sort of Club, might be a good source!

I had a similar issue many moons ago, when I was in a similar role - and found a complete set from an ex Comp Secy (possibly the original) who never threw anything away! It's wasn't uncommon to 'lose track' of Condition of Comp details in the pre-computer days, but shouldn't happen anymore!
