HGS Derbyshire Trip (15th-18th June 2018)

Specific Competition Rules

Daily Stableford competitions

• played off full handicap
• players start round 1 off their current Club Handicap
• at the end of each round handicaps are adjusted for the next round by:
  • -2 for the winner of the day's competition
  • -1 for the 2nd placed player
  • +1 for the 23rd placed player
  • +2 for the 24th placed player
• PLEASE PUTT OUT ON EACH HOLE, unless you cannot score
• the usual Countback rules will apply in the event of a tie
• INDIVIDUAL CARDS SHOULD BE KEPT FOR EACH PLAYER AND SIGNED (optionally allowing them to be submitted for handicap purposes at their Home Club)

Trip Individual competition

• the total of the best three Stableford scores out of the four rounds count as the player's Trip score
• in the event of a tie, the Round 4 Stableford score will be used to differentiate; then Round 3 etc

Virtual Knockout

• a draw will be made BEFORE EACH ROUND to identify the virtual pairings, with 3 players contesting the virtual final
• the winner will be the highest Stableford score of the two (or three), using usual Countback rules in the event of a tie

Trip Team competition

• the four Captains will submit their secret team starting orders before each round - a la the Ryder Cup
• each fourball will therefore contain one player per team
• Stableford scores & Countback will be used to rank players in each fourball group; the winner scores 4 points for their team, 2nd place scores 3 points, 3rd place scores 2 points & 4th place scores 1 point
• should a player not start a round they will score 0 points for their team
• the Trip Team score will be the total points scored by the team over all 4 rounds; in the event of a tie the total Stableford points scored for all 4 rounds by all members of the tied teams will be compared

Birdies & Lost Balls

• these are the usual sweepstake competitions (alongside predicting the winners of the golf)
• birdies and lost balls counts should be recorded on the cards against individual players
• a ball is 'lost' if it goes out of bounds (even if retrieved) or is physically lost within the course
• only 'live' balls can be lost; eg a missing provisional is not counted if the first ball is subsequently found

Other Prizes

• Best Golfing Moment: £10 voucher
• Best Non-Golfing Moment: £10 voucher
