We have already implemented the new Rules of Golf 2019 in Saturday 'open to all' competitions, Sunday Mixed competitions and Wednesday Seniors competitions and will be implimenting in Ladies competitions from the start of December. We hope that doing so will get everyone well versed with the changes by the time summer competitions commence next year.

We are posting details of many of the changes on the notice boards and copies of the new Rules are in the cupboard under the television, although we recommend that you download the app to your mobile for a much easier and convenient point of reference.

Please pass any feedback or suggestions directly back to Jon Newham, Stan Simpson, Susan Bunting or Graeme Bunting for review.

The way that handicaps for golfers around the world are calculated will be transformed by a new system developed by The R&A and the USGA and set to be introduced in Spring 2020.

More information about the new World Handicap System (WHS) has been added to the website today on 2 new pages called Slope Rating and Transition Handicaps.
