All players still in the competition, will receive a monthly print-out of the current 'state-of-play' and a list of contact numbers for the other players.

Each tie has had the ‘home’ player pre-drawn and the players have the following choices as to how they want the match to be contested:

1)  The preferable option is for the match to be played at the ‘home’ player’s club.  If the ‘home’ player is not a member of a golf club, then he can either find a suitable neutral venue to play the match or agree to play the match at his opponents club (assuming your opponent is a club member).

2)  If the match cannot be arranged outside of ‘society time’, then the match can be played over the 18 holes at the next available society day.  If I can see that a match hasn’t been played, then I’ll do my best to group opponents together for a golf day so the match can be played.

3)  As a last resort, if you don’t want to play the match over the 18 holes concurrently with the stableford competition, then it could be played over the 9 hole practice in the morning.

If matches are not played by the dates specified overleaf to meet the round deadlines, then unless there are special circumstances, both players will be disqualified.

The match format will be the same as previous years, with each match being over 18 holes, with the higher handicap player receiving shots equivalent to ¾ of the difference between the two handicaps.
