RG informed the committee that a new ruling had been agreed as follows
and asked the committee for their agreement
CLUB HANDICAP
The handicap committee has decided that as of the 1st September these new rules will apply;
1 . If a player wins or comes second 3 times in any 4 week playing period (not necessarily continuous ) he or she will lose a shot. This will remain for a period of 2 months, after which they will resume from their federated handicap.
2 . If a player continues to win 3 more vouchers as in rule 1, in the next four week period, he or she will lose another shot.
3 . Rule no 1 will NOT apply, in a singles qualifier or a board competition where FEDERATED HANDICAPS will be used. A sheet with players who have lost 1 shot will appear on the notice board with the players name and “-1”. This means that the player will look at their Federated handicap, take away 1 shot and then read the slope rating for that days playing handicap.
ALL PLAYERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR OWN HANDICAP.PLEASE PAY ATTENTION.
All Agreed
