HANDICAPS

Can members please ensure that score cards are dated and fill name and membership number is included. Members are reminded that those members that have Handicaps at other clubs must notify us of their handicap & keep us updated about any change. Thanks.

THE 'HOME' CLUB RULE
Members need to be aware that CONGU Rules (Council of National Golf Unions) require that their home club must be one that is affiliated - in our case The English Golf Union. At Longhirst we have many members who are also members of other affiliated clubs. The Rules require that those golfers who are members of more than one club shall nominate one as his home club.

When members take part in competitions at Longhirst or at any other courses, whether Longhirst is their home course or not, they are required to notify their home course and their other course(s) about their scores.

It would be particularly helpful if those members of Longhirst who are members at other courses could notify Ian Brodie on 01670 791562.

QUALIFYING COMPETITIONS
With such a large and diverse membership, Longhirst Hall Golf Course are happy to permit sections within the club to register their own competitions.

The Club Committee are in the process of publishing our own competition fixture program which will include those of 2 of the larger societies within the club. To do this they and any other section must apply to the club committee for qualifying competition status. They also must be aware that the owners will not block tee bookings for these events, but will be happy for members to book their tee times in the usual fashion. All competitions must be played in four balls.

To register for a qualifying competition, groups, societies or companies must do so via one contact/organiser who shall be responsible for making sure that the competition is carried out in accordance with The Rules of Golf. The Competition Secretary will require a competition date, time, a format, i.e., 3 Horse Shoe May Medal and a maximum entry number plus whether the competition will be played off White or Yellow tees. All scores must be recorded and submitted to The Club Handicap Secretary.
