Handicap allowance is 3/4 the difference to be taken from the player
with the lowest handicap. Handicap limit will be 20 for men and 28
for ladies. Please note: The Standard Scratch Score should be applied
to ladies’ handicaps then the appropriate fraction applied. In better-ball
matchplay shots should be taken from the lower player. The ladies
should have the SSS adjustment applied before this is determined. If

Men will play off yellow tees, ladies should use red tees.
Please note - Current Active or Inactive handicap certificates must be shown to your opponents prior to play commencing.
