Matchplay rules 2024

Shots given/received are based on the current course handicap at the time of the match. Ability to see how many shots via matchplay panels in smartgolf. See below for guide.

100% Difference is applicable.   e.g if player A course handicap is 10 and Player B is 18 – then the difference is 18-10 = 8 shots received on hole index 1-8.

Players to post the result online after the match so system will automatically feed result in to the next round. Cards do not need to be returned for the match. If members are unable to update online they need to pass on results to committee members for posting. See below for guide.

If a match is tied after 9/18 holes – The player return to hole 1 and continues on sudden death – shots received remain the same so if the person had a shot on the first hole they would again have a shot on hole 10/19.

The end date for rounds is not a goal! – Please ensure is completed in advance as much as possible. Extension will only be given for exceptional circumstances such as weather events/course issues so leavign until last minute and comsething coming up to prevent play is not an excuse. Is same for everyone.
