welcome-back

A very warm welcome back to a new season of golf with  Saturday Strollers.

I would like to wish you health and happiness throughout  2017.  I hope that it will be full of  good spirit, friendship and excellent golf.

I have arranged a fun, exciting and competitive golf schedule and look forward to a high participation from our members.

Please find a brief summary of the winter/spring schedule.

PLAYER OF THE MONTH

This is a new and exciting competition which has been introduced into the Golf Calendar for 2017.  Each month the lady with the greatest number of points is named PLAYER OF THE MONTH.  In January the player will be chosen from Category C.

SPRING LAMB COMPETITION   

This will commence on 4th February.  The competition will be played on six selected dates  (best of four).

GOLFER OF THE YEAR

This will commence on 11th February .  The competition will be played on 10 selected dates throughout the year (best of eight).

CAPTAIN’S DRIVE-IN

I am looking forward to my Drive-In which will take place on 4th March.  This will be a team event.  It will also be an opportunity to meet and greet our new members.

AWAY DAY

I will be organising an Away Day on 8th April as Leopardstown will be closed due to racing. Details of this event will be posted at a later date.

Best wishes for a great golf season,

Marie                                                                                                                                                                                   Lady Captain 2017

HANDICAP SYSTEM

The new handicap system will become effective from Saturday 2nd April, 2016.

CATEGORIES AND BUFFER ZONES

CATEGORY                         1                   2                   3                  4                  5

HANDICAP:                      0-11           12-17           18-23         24-29        30-36

BUFFER ZONE:           (17-18)       (16-18)        (15-18)       (14-18)     (13-18)

REDUCTION:                   – .1                – .2                – .3                – .4            – .5

HOW THE HANDICAP SYSTEM WORKS

SCORE WITHIN THE BUFFER ZONE        NO CHANGE TO HANDICAP

SCORE BELOW BUFFER ZONE                  HANDICAP INCREASED BY 0.1

SCORE ABOVE BUFFER ZONE                   FOR EACH POINT SCORED ABOVE 18, YOUR HANDICAP IS CHANGED BY RELEVANT REDUCTION FOR YOUR CATEGORY.

E.G. A player in Category 2   (12-17) scores 20 points, therefore, 2 points  x -.2 =  – .40                         reduction to handicap.                                                                                                                                        KEY POINTS

  1.  Handicaps will fall into five categories for the purpose of handicap adjustments.  Please check the category you fall into in the above table.
  2.  A player’s handicap may be cut, increased or remain unchanged in relation to above table regardless of placing in a competition.
  3. Our existing 3 categories will remain unchanged for competitions and prizes.
  4.  N.B.  Winning is no longer directly linked to a handicap cut, but will be based on scores returned in relation to above table.

REVISION OF CATAGORIES EFFECTIVE 26TH AUGUST 2023

Cat A     0                  –    29 (29.4)

Cat B     30 (29.5)    –   35 (35.4)

Cat C     36 (35.5)    –   36
