Hello Members,

 

The time of year for the Men’s Foursomes Championships is upon us:  Saturday 22 June 2024 and Saturday 29 June 2024.

This year we have decided to play Men’s Foursomes in groups of 6 (3 pairing’s) up until 10:48am.  Groups of 4 will be available for a Singles Stableford event from 10:56 onwards.

Please note the major event in each grade (A,B and C) is a scratch event.  In the event of a tie, in any grade, at the completion of both rounds a 3 hole play off will occur starting from Hole 16 and then sudden death on the 18th until there is a winner.

Foursomes times from round one will carry to round two. 

To help accommodate this, after Round 1 there will be a seeding block time for the top 6 pairings in each Grade. If you qualify for the seeded groups you must play at that time to be eligible to win the Championship.

Seeded Times: A Grade 10:40am and 10:48am, B Grade 10:24am and 10:32am; C Grade 10:08am and 10:16am

Here is a copy from the Conditions of Play relating to the Men’s Foursomes Championships:
