Individual Stableford

For an AWL round to count, there must be an e-mail to all of time and day before playing to allow for anyone else who wishes to play to join

Full AWL handicap (subject to adjustments), playing off white tees, with gimmies offered by other players/opponents at their discretion.  Note: guideline is less than measure to putter handle.

Mean of best four Stableford scores to count

HC adjustments for exceptional scoring:
Scores of 38 or 39                 One shot deduction from HC
Scores of 40 or more            Two shot deduction from HC
This is to try and keep more players in contention for a top four place at the end of the season

If holes are closed, a minimum of 16 holes must be played to be qualifying. When 14A & 14B are in play, 14A is a par 4 (still index 8) and 14B has the same index as the hole it replaces (e.g. hole 11 out of play would mean index 10 for 14B). If additional holes are out of play, you get 2 Stableford points for them – maximum of two holes out of play.

Minimum of nine rounds to be played between Saturday 26^th October 2024 and Sunday 23^rd February 2025 inclusive. Finals Day is Sunday 2^nd March 2025.
