Seniors’ Winter Golf Arrangements 2025-26
Dear member
Winter golf starts on Monday 6th October after the Seniors’ AGM.
All games will be nine hole STABLEFORD COMPETITIONS.
You will NOT have to book a tee time on BRS.
Games will go out in threes in the order of registering at the Pro-Shop.
Your score will be recorded at the competition desk in the club house.
Handicaps
Your starting Seniors’ winter playing handicap will be your course handicap on Thursday 2 nd
October.
For winter competitions your playing handicap will be 100% of your course handicap up to a
maximum of 54.
If your handicap is an even number, your handicap for the front or back nine will be half
your course handicap. If your handicap is an odd number, your front nine handicap will be
one more than your back nine handicap.
Use your course handicap and the stroke index on your card to determine where you get
strokes.
Course handicap reductions will generally operate on the following basis:
Total Points 1 or 2 above 18 (Handicap -1)
Total Points 3 or 4 above 18 (Handicap -2)
Total Points 5 or 6 above 18 (Handicap -3)
When the course changes to winter greens the course will be easier and so the slope rating
should go down, this means your course handicaps should also go down. To avoid having to
recalculate every ones course handicap when we have winter greens we will raise the
number of points required for a handicap adjustment.
Note: Handicaps will never go up.
Please check your seniors’ winter course handicap on the notice board at the Pro Shop prior
to starting your round.
Registration, Competition Fees and Playing Order
On arrival at the course please register and pay your £1.50 competition fee at the Pro Shop.
Competitors will go out in threes in the order of registering.
The competition desk will open at 9.00 am with the first groups starting at 9.30 am.
Ladies will play the same 9 holes, alternating each week between Front 9 and Back 9.
Gents will have a choice of playing the Front or Back nine.
Recording scores during and after the round
Please exchange score cards with your playing partners at the start of your round.
At the end of the round you and your playing partners should agree each other’s gross
scores and points for the round and sign the score cards.
To record your score at the end of your round you should go to the competition desk in the
club house where you can enter any improvements in your gross score at each hole in the
Winter Eclectic Score Book and give your card to the members on the desk who will record
your points on the score sheet.
When all the scores are in, the Seniors Captain will announce the results and present the
winners with their golf balls.
The Seniors’ Secretary will also email the competition results to members.
The email will include ball winners and any handicap changes made.
Golf balls will be awarded as prizes for both 9s in proportion to the number playing.
Trophies will be awarded at the Annual Prize Giving for the best three Front 9 + best three
Back 9 points total in the following sections:
Ladies
Gents
Prizes will also be awarded for the best score at each hole totals in the following sections:
Ladies Scratch
Ladies Handicap
Gents Scratch
Gents Handicap
It is the responsibility of each player to enter any changes to their best scores for each hole
on the sheet in the eclectic folder, counter signed by their marker.
From Monday 6 th October the following local winter rules will apply to all Seniors’
winter competitions.
Preferred lies will be in operation on all Fairways.
Relief must be taken from wrong Green.
For holes where summer greens are in use, the winter green should be considered a
wrong green.
You must not play the ball as it lies, you must take free relief as described in rule 13.1f.
We will consider all bunkers NOT IN PLAY.
When a ball is in a bunker you may:
Without penalty lift, clean and drop the ball outside the bunker keeping the bunker
between you and the hole.
You must go back keeping the point in the bunker where the ball originally lay in line
with the hole.
There is no limit as to how far back behind the bunker the ball may be dropped.
Balls in the rough
A ball hit into the semi rough or uncut rough must be played as it lies.
4 th winter green
For safety reasons the 4 th winter tee and green will be not be used as it is unsafe and
will be replaced by the 10 th .
When the 4 th is on the winter tee and green please miss out this hole and make up the
nine holes by playing the 10 th .
It would be a good idea when missing out the 4 th to cross it out on your score card to
avoid getting your scores for the 5 th onwards in the wrong place.
When entering your scores in the Best Score At Each Hole book you will not have a
score at the 4 th so leave it blank, instead any improvement at the 10 th hole can be
entered in the 10 th hole column.
When the 4 th is on its summer green it should be played as normal.
