Ladies, as we approach the new golfing season please check that your Handicap is active. If any lady is unsure of her status, I shall be pleased to advise.
LADIES HANDICAPS
• Competition handicaps are required for competitions where a valid
handicap is required.
• Each lady is responsible for her own handicap.
• Please check your
handicap against the current list in the Locker Room.
• Any lady who does not have a “c” after her handicap does not have an
active competition handicap.
CONGU RULES FOR LADIES’ HANDICAPS
1. Three qualifying cards are
required to be returned in the
calendar year to retain your handicap.
2. If you fail to
return three qualifying cards, then your handicap will be inactive.
3. If your handicap is to be restored within six months of the date on
which your handicap was lost, three qualifying cards covering 54 holes must be
submitted at which point your
handicap will be reinstated at the same handicap which you last held.
4. If your handicap has been lost for more than six months, then you must
return three qualifying cards covering 54 holes to have a handicap allotted - your three scores, your
previous handicap, conditions etc. of the course when the three rounds
were played and all other relevant information will be taken into account when
allocating a new handicap.
5. If you suffer ill health or injury, it is reasonable to ask you to
submit a letter to the Blairgowrie Golf Club Handicap Committee explaining the circumstances so that
consideration can be given to your handicap status. If your handicap has been lost through ill health or injury which
has precluded you from returning the specified number of scores to maintain
your handicap, the Handicap Committee have discretionary powers to allow the retention of a competition
handicap but only for the period between Annual Reviews (which usually takes place in
November) or during the previous
calendar year.
Thereafter, your handicap will be deemed to have been lost and three
qualifying cards require to be returned over 54 holes in order for you to be allocated a new
handicap.
