Golf Club Handicaps - to play in Competitions players
need an official Council of National Golf Unions (CONGU) Handicap.
The Competitions Committee is responsible for the issue and
amendment of all exact handicaps of players who declare Droitwich Golf Club as
their Home club.
Further
information regarding the handicapping system can be found in the CONGU
2008-2011 book. A copy of which is situated next to the Competitions computer
in the corridor next to the changing rooms.
To obtain a
handicap a player must submit 3 x 18 hole cards from his Home Club, which must
be marked and signed by another acceptable member. These cards should normally
be submitted within a period of six months.
Club Competitions.
Various
Club Competitions run throughout the year. Generally a booking system using
members swipe cards are used to enter the players name against an appropriate
time slot.
If Members
reserve a starting tee time and are unable to play it is important to remove
the name as soon as possible to enable other Members to enter the Competition.
If you are unable to attend on the day it is
incumbent on you to notify your playing partners and the Pro shop. This will ensure that no one will
be left without a playing partner. A letter must also be sent to the
Competitions Committee detailing the reason for non attendance.
Further
detailed information can be found in your Club diary and the Competitions
folder located close to the computer in the corridor next to the changing
rooms.
