Seniors Competitions

![]() |
Weekly competitions and knock outs are organised by the Match Secretary - Ray Vickers 01761 416749 To participate in competitons and senior events you need to be a registered Senior Member |
![]() |
To enter the weekly Wednesday morning
competions enter your name on the appropriate sheet on the Senior Notice
Board one week in advance of the competition date. The Competition Secretary
will draw for start times by the previous Wednesday and post the times
on the Senior Notice Board. You will need to arrive on the Wednesday morning
at least fifteen minutes prior to this time to pay your entry fee,
collect your score card, secure your entry and meet at the start tee with
your playing partners. Late arrivals will be substituted as appropriate.
Late entries are accepted on the day but early arrival is advised as players
are entered (in rota) into last minute gaps and then tagged onto the end.
In the event of it being a team competition we cannot guarantee it being
possible to accommodate late entries if there is the wrong number of seniors
to give a complete team. It is clearly most helpful if people avoid dropping out of team games wherever possible. By not turning up you leave your partners without an opportunity to compete, and you owe it to them to delete yourself from the competition as soon as you know you are unavailable. Ray can arrange substitutes but he clearly needs as much warning as possible. The prefered means of cancelling are:-

If you wish to play in the above competition add your name to reserve list on the senior notice board, and turn up as early as possible on the day (by at least 7.55) when Ray will fit you in as appropriate. Reserves will be slotted into teams on a first come basis on the Wednesday morning. DO NOT insert your name in spaces made by people cancelling as Ray will have prepared the score cards in advance and this can cause problems with handicaps, seeding etc.

| Farrington Seniors’ Handicap Committee: | Roger Stone / Kevin Seery / Tim Waller |
Any of the
above can be approached for advice on handicaps e.g. how to get
your first handicap, the procedures for handicap adjustments on medical
grounds, the implications of opting to submit supplementary cards etc.
They will consider any request to adjust handicaps (either up
or down) but you must realise that this can only be done within
the strict rules set down by CONGU. Some of your questions may be answered
by the guidelines set out below: |
|
| The committee keep a record on the computer of all your scores from qualifiers, but if you have additional evidence e.g. scores from home/away courses etc., please give them to any member of the committee so that they can be considered as evidence for changes to your handicap. The committee can not make handicap cuts on one isolated good score so you must provide compelling evidence of your improvement (e.g. two or preferably more good cards over a short period). | |
So how do you first get a handicap?
Basically you must complete at least three rounds and
get a fellow player who has a handicap to sign your card during a round of golf
to ratify your score. You must make it clear which tees you use. One of these
cards will need to be about 100 shots or less. These cards are used to determine
your initial handicap. The senior Website www.farringtonseniors.co.uk gives
exact details of how your handicap is calculated.
Any fully completed and signed cards that you wish to be considered as evidence
for obtaining a handicap should be submitted to any member of the Senior Handicap
Committee.
How Can We Ensure Handicaps Are Reflective of Playing Ability?
The CONGU Unified Handicap System 2008-11 has introduced a number of new clauses, which prescribe the way we handle handicaps, the significant clauses are:-
Clause 17.3 – Qualifying Scores
/ Qualifying Competitions
The declaration that a competition is a Non Qualifying
Competition disqualifies all scores returned in that competition being used
directly for handicap purposes. Performance in Non Qualifying Competitions is
one of a number of factors to be considered in the Annual Review of Members’
handicaps.
Clause 19 - Stableford Adjustment
How does it affect your handicap?
Even in medal play a no score or a 12 on 1 hole will do no more damage than
a 0 on a stableford card. So in a medal it is possible to return a card with
one or more disastrous holes yet remain in the buffer zone or even merit a handicap
cut. ONE OR MORE POOR HOLE SHOULD NO LONGER JUSTIFY A N/R. because this will
automatically produce a 0.1 HCP increase. To protect
your handicap you need to enter scores for every hole you play.
Clause 21 - Supplementary Scores
‘The Clause that helps members to submit qualifying
scores to ensure handicaps are reflective of their current competitive playing
ability’
This is explained fully below.
Clause 23 – Review of Handicaps
Annual Review
The Annual Handicap review is designed to ensure that members have handicaps
that are reflective of their current playing ability. This is based on:
· Players scores returned in qualifying competition
· Performances in singles and better ball match play events
· Scores returned in Social golf must not be used
· An Annual Review Report is now included in software to aid Committees
in the review
Farrington Annual Review of Handicaps
In January the Handicap Committee will use the computer to analyse the previous years records for all members and produce “The Annual Review Report”. The report is a list of all members who should be considered for a handicap change. It does this by producing a “Performance against Target” analysis. Don’t ask me how it does this!!!! The resulting figure, which is a mathematical comparison of the year’s competition results for each member, indicates whether they are eligible for an increase or decrease in their handicap and suggests the amount of the change. The committee uses this figure and a range of other evidence provided to them e.g. performances in non-qualifying competitions including Knock Outs, 4BBB Competitions, requests to raise handicaps on age or medical grounds etc. to inform them.
General Play Revisions of handicap are not subject to appeal as long as they are carried out within the CONGU rules.
Clause 23 – General Play Adjustment
General Play adjustments should only be made through the playing season under
exceptional circumstances.
This may include:
· A member requiring adjustment for medical reasons.
· Member given initial handicap that from qualifying scores returned
is not reflective of current ability.
· The return of a series of good scores in Qualifying Competitions within
a short timeframe by an infrequent competitor.
· Players may be infrequent competitors in Qualifying Competitions and
so have few opportunities to reduce their handicap in line with their improved
standard of play. They may compete frequently, however, with success in other
forms of golf and their handicap may require further adjustment to reflect this.
Active/Inactive Handicaps
As of 2010 the English Golf Union & English Women’s
Golf Association will be implementing an active/inactive handicapping system.
Rational
To enable Clubs to identify whether a player has submitted a number of qualifying scores per year to ensure their handicap is reflective of their current playing ability without the need to lapse a handicap.
IT IS NOT A FORM OF LAPSINGOperation
· Applies to players in all handicap categories 1-4(5).
· Players will be required to submit 3 qualifying scores per year (Supplementary Scores & 9 Hole Qualifying events included). Failure to do so will lead to an inactive handicap.
· An inactive handicap will disappear for the year on the submission of 3 qualifying scores.
· Qualifying scores will be accepted from both Home & Away qualifying competitions.
· Handicap certificates will identify whether a player has an inactive handicap e.g. 12.4 i
· Clubs may impose a condition that prevents players with inactive handicaps entering events (not however permitted to make it a blanket condition).
· Inactive handicaps may still be used for golfing holidays, social trips where handicap certificates are required.
· Players may have an inactive handicap removed because of a medical exemption.
· The EGU will monitor the situation and will decide whether to increase the number of qualifying scores from 3.
How does it affect you as a senior?
If you fail to complete at least three qualifying competitions this year, next year you will be credited with an INACTIVE handicap which will make you ineligible to enter many competitions e.g. the Senior Opens for most other clubs. Farrington Seniors have taken a view on inactive handicaps and members with inactive handicaps will be ineligibile for our major competitions? (e.g. K.O’s, Senior Club Championship etc.)
Summary
A CONGU handicap is based on the ability of a player in
qualifying competitions, not social golf.
The introduction of Supplementary Scores, 9 hole qualifying competitions and
the EGU active/inactive handicap system should lead to more members returning
qualifying information and less use of General Play adjustment by Handicapping
Committees.
This in turn should lead to a more unified system of handicapping.
EGU Central Handicap Database (CHD)
When Farrington Golf Club uploads the new Club 2000 update
in January 2009 it will include the new CHD module. Every golf club will be
given it’s own unique ID number and every club golfer will also be given
his own unique ID number (10 characters long). Plastic cards with their own
unique ID number will be issued to all members. This unique ID number will follow
you if you move to another club as will all your qualifying handicap and competition
records. The Central Handicap Database holds the records of every golfer in
every club in England.
By going online members can use their unique ID number to:-
· View their current handicap
· View their complete record of competition scores
· Request handicap certificates
· There may be an option to access handicap changes by SMS textClubs can view handicaps of any English Club Golfer from their name/dob and also find that golfers unique ID number.
In future clubs will almost certainly ask for your unique ID number when you enter Open competitions, as this will enable them-to:-
· Establish if you have an active handicap (usually a requirement of entry)
· Simplify the entry of away players details into the computer and check on their handicap
· Automatically return your competition score to your home club for handicap changes
Qualifying Competitions
The majority of changes to Seniors’
Handicaps is expected to take place as a result of taking part in qualifying
competitions. Such competitions are the Wednesday monthly medal / monthly stableford,
Senior Opens and other Farrington weekend qualifiers. The scores from any qualifier
are entered into the computer and after comparing the score to the computer
produced ‘Competition Scratch Score’ the computer applies a calculation
and automatically adjusts handicaps. Any changes will be posted on the Senior
Notice Board.
General Play
Any fully completed and signed cards that
you wish to be considered as evidence for handicap changes should be submitted
to any member of the Senior Handicap Committee. Since the latest directive from
the EGU is that 'Scores returned in Social Golf
must not be used to adjust handicaps' These cards can only be
used as part of the evidence for the Annual Handicap Review held in January.
REMEMBER: Reduction in Handicap is a reward
not a penalty
What value do we put on a handicap?
An extract from the English Golf Union Website helps us to understand how we value a handicap.
“The way the CONGU system works is that a typical Category 1 player is expected to play about 2 strokes above his handicap on an average day. Category 4 players can expect a short fall of about 6 or 7. Put another way a player who finds that he plays to an average handicap of 28 will probably find that he has a handicap of 21/22.”
Supplementary cards
Anyone who has played six or less qualifying
rounds in the handicap year will be allowed to submit up to 10 supplementary
cards to adjust their handicap. These will require the player to indicate their
intention to play such a round before starting to play and will be subject to
a handicap increase where the player is outside their “buffer zone”.
Handicaps will be adjusted on the same basis as qualifying competitions. A maximum
of one card per week can be submitted. The exact details of how this will operate
are outlined below..
Please note members found abusing this procedure can be suspended.
Seniors’ Supplementary Scores 2009
1. A maximum of 10 Supplementary Scores may be returned each handicap year.
2. Supplementary Scores are Stableford scores, which may only be returned at the Home Club of the player, subject to the above limit.
3. Supplementary Scores are available to players who have returned six or fewer cards in Qualifying Competitions (excluding Supplementary Scores) in the preceding year. (1st January 2008– 31st December 2008) The list below identifies those who are eligible to complete supplementary cards.
4. A maximum of one card per week may be returned (A week commences on a Monday).
5. The round must comply with the Rules of Golf and the completed card must be counter signed by a playing partner who has a recognised handicap.
6. Supplementary Scores are only available to players in Categories 2, 3, 4 [and 5].
7. Players must register their intention to take out
a Supplementary Score before going out to play. To
do this collect a stamped and dated score card from the Pro shop and enter your
name in the Seniors Supplementary Card Book.
RETURN YOUR SIGNED CARD TO ROGER STONE ASAP.
8. Play must be over a Measured Course under Competition Play Conditions. No CSS to be calculated. Changes of handicap to be against the SSS.
9. Supplementary Scores are for increase as well as reduction of handicap.
10. Stroke Play returns shall be subject to Stableford/Nett Double Bogey adjustments (maximum net double bogey on any hole) in compliance with Clause 19 before the card is used for handicap adjustment.
11. Supplementary scores are recorded in your Player Handicap Record.
12. Players who have recently been awarded a CONGU handicap qualify immediately for the return of Supplementary Scores.
13. Remember a 0.1 increase should be applied when a player does not return a score after signing their intention to use the round for a Supplementary Score.
14. Returns may be subject
to action under Clause 23 if ‘manipulation’ is suspected.

| All seniors with a new CONGU Handicap | |||||
How your Initial CONGU golf handicap is calculated
To calculate your first (initial) golf handicap you need
to enter three golf cards. The computer system will then assess your 3 cards
to determine which one will provide the best Nett Differential Score (NDS);
essentially this is done by reducing any holes that are greater than 2 shots
over par to being 2 shots over par, for example, if you have entered an 8 on
a par 5 then, for the sake of this calculation, the system will read it as a
7.
Although CONGU rules does not put a limit on the number of holes that are reduced,
most systems limit it to a maximum of six holes to ensure that they only provide
handicaps to players that they feel can play to 28.0 or 36.0, at worst. If the
system fails to calculate your handicap it is because the maximum number of
adjusted holes has been reached. In these situations cards can be reviewed manually
to assess if it is possible to provide the maximum handicap.
Let’s assume that 4 holes have been adjusted to double-bogeys (2 over par) resulting in a total reduction of 5 shots for your round. If your gross score was 95 then the resulting Nett Differential Score would now be 90. To calculate the handicap based on this card the course SSS (Standard Scratch Score) is then subtracted from the Nett Differential, for example if the SSS (for the tee colour in question) is 67 then it would be 90 - 67 = 23. This calculation is applied to all 3 cards to determine which one gives the lowest golf handicap, this then becomes your golf handicap.
Note: the Course Par plays no part in the initial golf handicap calculation.
How your CONGU golf handicap is adjusted ongoing
Golf handicaps are divided into 5 categories as shown here, each of these categories has a respective buffer zone that is used to assess whether or not a handicap should change. The table below displays the categories along with relevant Adjustment Factors.

Each time you enter a new card in a qualifying competition it is your responsibility to adjust your golf handicap. You must then immediately play to this new handicap until at a later stage a Competition Scratch Score will be calculated from all category 1 to 3 cards from the competition and used instead of the Standard Scratch Score to produce a final adjusted handicap. All changes will then be published on the Senior Notice Board.
So how do you do this? Depending on which Category you fall in to a Buffer Zone and respective Adjustment Factor is applied, essentially this allows you to enter cards that are higher than your Handicap without your handicap being increased. To demonstrate how this works, please study the two examples shown below.
Examples of adjustments:
Lets assume that your golf handicap is 17.0 (Cat 3) and the card that you entered was with a gross score of 87 and the SSS for the tee colour is 67, in this case your net score would be 3 shots (87 – 67 = 20) above your handicap . As your Buffer Zone allows you to be between 0 and 3 Shots above your handicap (17 + 3) then no adjustment is made. If your gross score was 89 resulting in your net score being 2 shots higher than your Buffer Zone, then your handicap would increase by 0.1, which is the Maximum increase allowed. However, if your gross score was 82 with course SSS of 67 resulting in your net score being 2 shots below your handicap (82 – 67 = 15) Then your are below the Buffer Zone of zero so an adjustment is required. The adjustment would be the number of shots below handicap x the Adjustment Factor i.e. 2 x 0.3 resulting in a cut of 0.6 shots. Your new Exact Handicap would now Be 17.0 – 0.6 = 16.4 giving you a Playing Handicap of 16.

Farrington Seniors often need to cancel their entry into Wednesday Competitions. Presently they do this by crossing off their name on the notice board. Problems however frequently arise on Wednesday morning when there is a last minute emergency. |
Ray Vickers should now be contacted on his mobile phones after 8.00 a.m. on Wednesday morning when such occasions arise:-
Ray's mobile number: 07812859299
It is clearly most helpful if people avoid dropping out
of team games wherever possible. By not turning up you leave your partners without
an opportunity to compete, and you owe it to them to delete yourself from the
competition as soon as you know you are unavailable. Ray can arrange substitutes
but he clearly needs as much warning as possible.
The preferred means of cancelling are:-
The new number for cancelling on the day is 0781
2859229
AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED ON MATCH DAYS.
He asks that you do not use this number for cancellation purposes on any other occasion as the phone probably will not be switched on.
The committee have indeed discussed sanctions that may need to be applied if senior members fail to turn up without cancelling. Thankfully this a rare occurrence but it does happen. We owe it to Ray (and other members) to make it easy for him to do his job by
We are anxious that all Farrington Seniors can continue to enjoy Wednesday Morning Competitions so please do your bit to help.

responsibility to ensure the correct gross score has been entered for
each hole. It is permissible when cards are handed in for members to discuss with the committee details about scoring and for the committee to point out omissions (e.g. card not signed correctly), but once the member leaves the card with the committee it is too late and any further errors can lead to disqualification. |

Stableford Competition Rules

Stableford competitions count towards
handicap changes if they meet standard criteria laid down by the EGU.
They are usually played off full handicap, but qualifiers are sometimes
played to a maximum handicap of 24. |
Using net scores
0 points for a score 2 or more over par
1 point for a score 1 over par
2 points for a par
3 points for a score 1 under par
4 points for a score 2 under par and so on
Total points for each 9 holes & enter in the appropriate
boxes.
Calculate total points for 18 holes and enter in the Stableford Points Box.
Texas Scramble Rules
Handicap Allowance
1/10th or 1/8th of combined team handicap. (Farrington Seniors mostly use 1/8th
of combined team handicap)
Tee Shots
Each team member’s tee shot must be used 6 times during the 18 hole round.
Scorecards should identify which team member’s shot has been selected
at each hole. In the event that the team member’s shot must be used and
is driven Out of Bounds or Lost, except in a hazard, then all team members play
again from the tee under penalty.
Lie of the Ball (through the green)
Once the selected shot has been played, other team members must drop their ball
within one club length of the marked position, but no nearer the hole. This
applies regardless of whether the ball is on the fairway, in a hazard, in the
rough or on the fringe of the green. In doing so the ball must remain on the
fairway, in a hazard etc.
Lie of the Ball (on the putting green)
On the green after the first member has putted, other team members must putt
from as close as possible to the position from where the first team member putted,
but no nearer the hole.
Holing Out
Once a ball has been holed, no further strokes count.
Scoring Record the gross score.
Medal Competition
Medal competitions count
towards handicap changes if they meet standard criteria laid down by the EGU.
Full handicap allowance is used to calculate the net score.
Enter the gross score for the named player in column A
Total each 9 holes and enter in appropriate boxes
Total for 18 holes
Enter current handicap and calculate net score by deducting handicap from the
gross score.
Medalford
The front nine is medal format so score on every hole
on the front nine holes and calculate your net score.
The back nine is stableford format so record your stableford score for every
hole and total the back nine stableford score
Calculate : front 9 net score – back 9 stableford score for your final result.
The lowest score is the winner.
e.g. Calculation: Your HCP is 19 and
your gross medal score on the front 9 is 45.
Since you get 10 shots on the front nine and 9 on the back nine to calculate
your net score subtract 10.
Net medal score = 45 – 10 = 35
You score 21 stableford points on the back 9.
Your final result is 35 – 21 = 14

Rules of Winter & Summer Knock Outs
These rules are being introduced in an effort to resolve
the current difficulties in getting matches played by the stated date.
It is the responsibility of the first named player in any round to contact his
opponent within the first half of the stipulated dates to arrange a suitable
date for their match. Failing to contact your opponent within this time period
will result in disqualification of the first named player.
If the first named player has attempted and is unable to contact his opponent
within the time period or his opponent is unable to agree a suitable date for
their match a member of the committee must be notified immediately.
When playing 4 ball matches if any member has difficulties getting all 4 players
together then the match should be played as one against two or one against one
in order to complete the match in the allotted time scale.
Failure to abide by these rules will result in both players being disqualified.
Commonsense and fair play is expected with regards to these rules. Players may agree their own time scale to play their matches, providing they are completed by the round finish date. The bottom line is that matches must be completed by the final date stipulated for each round to avoid disqualification. The committee shall have power to adjudicate in any matter not covered in the rules. Consideration to extenuating circumstances will be given.
