Format & Rules 2024/25 – A New Era!
More flexibility, less commitment, more diverse.
Traditionally we have played BetterBall Matchplay with set fixtures and early tee times. This means you have had to commit to all dates throughout the winter. With busier lifestyles and other commitments people miss out, and games don’t get played. Also if we have bad weather, fixtures have had to get re arranged meaning the competition drags out.
This year I am trialling a new format which I am excited to start . Open to all 7 day members.
You must sign up to Winter League in a pair and pay £10 per person upon registering.
EVERY SUNDAY throughout the winter will be a pairs BetterBall Stableford competition 8:30-12. YOUR team can play in as many or as little as you wish.
Each Sunday will be £5 entry PER TEAM with prizes on each Sunday for the best Betterball score on the day.
The 2024/25 Winter League will run Sunday 6th October – Sunday 30th March.
At the end of the ‘season’ your best 8 Stableford scores will count towards an Order Of Merit. The top 16 teams will qualify for a finals day on Sunday 9th April 2025. If you do not commit to at least 8 then you won’t qualify for the finals day.
FORMAT
– 13 Holes (1-13)
– Yellow/Red Tees
– 85% course handicap
– BetterBall Stableford
– Max course handicap Men 24 Ladies 30
– £5 entry per pair (each Sunday played)
Booking will be made through BRS 2 weeks before each Sunday at a time between 8:30 and 12 to suit you and your partner. You MUST play in the pair you signed up to Winter League as. It will be a great way to play with different members and meet new friends so please don’t be afraid to book down with people you don’t know.
To register please put your name on the registration sheet in the proshop and pay £10 per person cash into the proshop before THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
