Challenge Cup Match

The Challenge Cup

Barton under Needwood Golf Society versus Friends Golf Society

Since 2010, the society has played an annual Challenge Cup match against the Friends Golf Society, which is played over 36 holes, fourball-betterball in the morning and singles in the afternoon.

Competition structure

An annual match between the two societies played over 36 holes, morning will be fourball-betterball matchplay and the afternoon will be singles matchplay.

Each year one society will challenge, and the challengers will be deemed the ‘away’ team. Friends challenged BUNGS in 2010, so BUNGS were at ‘home’ and booked the venue, BUNGS have challenged Friends in 2011, so Friends are at ‘home’ and will book the venue etc.

There will be 12 players per team, the top ten from the previous year’s League Cup plus two wildcards (to be decided by the committee). Where anyone in the League Cup top ten is unavailable to play, then preference will go to 11th place etc.
