Competition format 1. Stableford over 18 holes. Play to be off the white tees, starting from the 1st tee only. 2. Each competitor’s Playing Handicap (for the purpose of deciding the competition’s results) will be 85% of his Course Handicap. 3. The best two scores (Stableford points) on holes 1-18 count towards the team score - the relevant gross scores must be recorded for each hole. 4. A Prize Presentation may take place as soon as possible after the completion of play. If arranged, it is anticipated that this will be no later than 7.30pm. A York Golf Club member of any prize-winning team is expected to attend the Prize Presentation. Failure to do so may result in the prize being awarded to the next team in line. Procedure in the event of ties All ties will be resolved on the last 9 - 6 - 3 - 1 holes. (Should this still result in a tie, scores for the last 10 - then 11 then 12 and so on - holes will be counted until a result is achieved.) General competition rules 1. Before playing in the competition, all competitors must sign in, obtain a scorecard, and pay the appropriate entry fee (generally in the Professional’s shop). 2. Any competitor who books a starting time for a competition and then does not turn up at the due time without notifying his playing partners and the Professional’s shop in advance, may be suspended from subsequent competitions under the Club’s “No-shows” policy. 3. The results of the competition will be processed by the Matches & Competitions Committee and published on the Club website; at this point the competition is closed and the results are final. For clarity 75% of the players that entered the competition on the day and paid an entry fee, need to complete their rounds for the result to stand. 4. The use of a buggy (ie. a ride-on motorised vehicle) is not permitted during the competition, unless the competitor has submitted medical evidence that he needs to use a buggy and has received written notification from the Managing Secretary that he is certified to use a buggy in competitions (in which case the buggy will be for the sole use of the competitor himself and his own equipment). 5. If the competition is suspended due to bad weather, the procedure is detailed on YGC Website – Information – Terms of Competitions – Competition Abandonment Policy April 2025.</p>
