The Final between the East and West winners will be held on the 9th October at Coombe Hill Golf Club.
The Competition shall be open to all Clubs who are affiliated to Surrey County Golf Ltd. Each Club shall be represented by one or two teams of five players. Each team shall consist of two players with a handicap index of between 5.0 and 12.0 and three players with a handicap index of between 12.1 and 18.0..
All players must be 18 years of age or over on the 1st of January for that year’s knockout. No player may represent more than one Club Team in any one Surrey team event, but they may represent another Surrey Club provided they are an affiliated member of that club. Clubs may change the players in their teams in each match. If a Club inadvertently fields an ineligible player his individual game shall be awarded to his opponent.
The Competition will be knockout played over 18 holes in a match play format between the teams and will be played in order of exact handicap index order. All matches must be played to a conclusion until the overall match result is decided, i.e., in the event of a halved match, play shall continue until one player wins a hole. The draw will be made in two sections, East, and West, and will indicate which Club shall play at home or away for each round.
All players must have a WHS handicap index.
The handicap allowance will be 100% (full difference). The away player in each game will receive one shot, to be added to their playing handicap after all calculations have been considered. If the away player is also a playing member of the home club, the extra shot will not apply.
All matches should be played over a course set up as if for a qualifying competition off the Club’s medal competition tees of the day.
Home Clubs are reminded that it is the rules of the competition to allow the members if the Away Team to play a practice round at a rate equal to or less than the members’ introduced guest rate prior to the match.
The home side in each match must offer at least three dates to their opponents to play the match (two at weekends and one mid-week). These dates must be offered within one week of the draw being published for the first round and then one week within each subsequent round. Whilst it is the responsibility of the home team to offer the dates it is up to BOTH teams to arrange the match. If for any reason the home side fails to offer three dates within the two weeks, then the away team is entitled to offer three dates to the home team (two at weekends and one mid-week).
It is expected that all teams will mutually agree to play their matches before the completion date of each round. Failure to do so will result in the disqualification of both teams. No extensions will be granted.
The Final between the East and West winners will be played at the club of the previous year’s Champions.
