Winter Golf

A number of members continue to play golf through the winter months. A flat entry fee is paid for this competition and the prize money is awarded to 1st and 2nd place.

The competition will commence on 1st November 2025 and conclude with the last counting round on 14th March 2026. Players may enter at any time during the competition. This is a non-qualifying competition for handicap purposes.

Entry Fee: £10 — split as 2/3 to the winner and 1/3 to the runner-up (rounded to the nearest pound).

Handicap: ¾ of WHS Handicap.

Format: Lowest net score on each hole over the season. Scores must be submitted via a photo of the scorecard sent to Pat Kennedy by 5pm on the day of play.

Winter greens are excluded from scoring (except the 12th hole). N/R cards will be scored only on holes with recorded results.

Nearest-the-Pin: Each week, holes 6, 8, 14, 16, and 18 have a £5 entry. Each hole pays £1 to the closest shot. N/R cards are still eligible.

Winner: The player with the lowest net score across all 18 holes. Incomplete scorecards (not all 18 holes played) will be disqualified.

Preferred Lies: In play for the full competition.

All members are welcome to play any week without joining the Winter Competition. Nearest-the-pin is open to all who play.

Winter Golf was introduced to the club by Pat Kennedy in 2021.
