CLUB CHAMPIONSHIP RULES

 

Eligibility

 

1.                  All financial members of the Army Golf Club W.A. with a current AGU/WAGL handicap are eligible to compete in the championship.

 

Venue and Duration

 

2.         The championship is to be conducted at the Club Home Course over 3 consecutive weeks. Players must play in all 3 rounds in order to win.

Note: For 2008 the Committee has approved, as a one year trial, the playing of the Championships at Wembley, Collier Park, and Hamersley

 

Club Champion and Grade Champions

 

3.         The Club Champion is the person with the lowest gross score over 54 holes.  The Grade Champion is the person with the lowest net score for their own grade.  Grades are as determined by the West Australian Golf League (Inc) from time to time and published in their Year Book. Current grades are as follows:

A Grade          0   –  16

B Grade         17  –  21

C Grade         22  –  36

Note:    Handicaps and grades are fixed for the duration of the championship but players must play off their correct handicap for each daily competition. eg. A player may play the 1st round off 17 handicap (which is B. grade), then get cut to 16 for the 2nd round.  He/she stays in B. grade but will play off 16 handicap for the daily competition.  After the 3 rounds have been completed the club championship net score will be calculated with the players handicap being 17 for all 3 rounds.

 

Ties

 

4.                  In the event of a tie for the gross or net champion a “sudden death” play off is to be played on the day until there is a winner.  With regards to the net play off, strokes given or received are as per the stroke index on the card.  If play cannot continue due to bad light etc, the play off will continue on the 1st hole of the following round until there is a winner.

Note: In the event of the gross champion also being the best net score for their grade, the net winner will be the player with the next best score.

5.                  All rounds are to be stroke.

 

6.                  For the 1st and 2nd rounds, order of play will be A. grade, followed by B. grade, followed by C. grade.  For the 3rd round, leaders of each grade will play in the first 3 groups.
