Competitions
The Starting Book in all Competitions except Tuesday Medals is in the
charge of the Starter and no entries may be made therein by any
Competitor under the penalty of disqualification unless sanctioned by the
Starter.
Competitors in Medal Competitions shall be divided into Classes as shown
on the Fixture Card or as may be determined by the Committee from time
to time.
The order of play in each Class shall be determined by ballot.
In order to register for the ballot, each Competitor must enter his own
name only in the sheet or the computer system provided. Failure to abide
by this regulation may result in exclusion from the ballot. Any name
entered in a space where another name has been scored out may also
result in exclusion from the ballot. Provided they are within the precincts
of the Clubhouse, members not included within the ballot may be allocated
a starting time by the Starter. Allocated times will be given a starting
number and competitors must be ready to occupy the tee and play off on
their number being called by the Starter and/or registering on the starting
board. Players not ready to play at the allocated time lose this time and
start at the first vacant time: players not present at the allocated time may
not play at another time except with the consent of the Committee.
For the avoidance of doubt, players may not, without the consent of the
Committee, withdraw from the ballot and thereafter request a time.
During Competitions, Non-Competitors shall not be eligible to play unless
permitted to do so by the starter.
Competitors shall play in threes unless otherwise sanctioned by
Committee.
