Happy New Year All,
 
The Club Championships are scheduled to start from early February. Here are the details on this years event.  There are 5 Divisions - Open Grade, Intermediate, Junior, C and D Grades. 
 
Playing times are usually reserved in the afternoon field from 11.15am on a Saturday.  It is preferred that all players play during this time period, unless entries are so large that we need to move one division into the morning slots.
 
Divisions
Open Grade is open to any player wishing to enter this grade.  Players with a handicap index of 6.2 or less must enter this grade.  It is played from our blue tees.
Intermediate Grade is open to players with a handicap index between 6.3 and 11.8.  Also played from the blue tees.
The Match Committee decided to make a slight change in the handicap indexes for the Open and Intermediate Grades to reflect the growing numbers of players in both of these divisions. 
 
Junior Grade is open to players with a handicap index between 11.9 and 18.3.  It is played from the white tees.
C and D Grade is open to all players with a handicap index over 18.4.  These divisions will be divided in half after entries close.  The event is played from the white tees. 
 
Playing Dates
36 Holes of Stroke Play Qualifying - Saturday February 12 & 19. The top 16 gross scores over the 2 rounds qualify within each division.  As Covid caused the cancellation of the 2021 Stroke Play Championships, these 2 rounds will also double as our 2021 Stroke Play Championships.  Trophies will be presented at the end of the second round for the Stroke Play Championships.
 
The Match Play rounds are as follows:
Round of 16 - Saturday February 26
Quarter Finals - Saturday March 5
Semi Finals - Saturday March 12
Finals - Saturday March 19.
Open and Intermediate Finals are over 36 holes.  All other divisions are 18 hole finals in the afternoon field.  Players may play their match play games on another date if they are unable to play on the scheduled date.  However, the new date must be agreeable to your opponent and it must be played before the next round is due.  If no alternative date is agreed upon, the player unable to play must concede the match.  Matches are off-the-stick within the division in which you are playing.
