Sunday Eclectic Challenge 2010
The Eclectic Challenge will be based on the
results of 10 Sunday competitions.
The competition will be Free Entry and will include all
competitors Men, Ladies & Juniors.
A players eclectic score will be their best gross score on each hole which produces a best possible gross round score minus 2/3rds of their current handicap on the date of report, which produces a best net eclectic score.
The eclectic leader board will be updated after each round of the competition and prizes will be
agreed & funded by the Committee from club funds for the final results.
Winner £25.00, Runner Up £15.00, 3rd Place £10.00
Obviously the more competitions you play in the better your chances of
improving your score
as the best score for each hole is taken. However your
handicap may change, if your normal handicap
reduces or increases and this may
also change your eclectic score.
Any cards/scores from individual competitions which have been disqualified may not be put towards your eclectic score as the software in some cases has to ignore them, so please remember to return and sign your scorecards even if you have had a bad round as an individual score for a hole may improve your eclectic score.
The following competitions will be used to produce the results:
Medal 4th April
Stableford 18th April
Stableford 2nd May
Stableford 16th May
Committee Cup 30th May
Stableford 4th July
Captains Day 18th July
Medal 1st August
Directors Cup 8th August
Captain's Challenge 12th September
Why 2/3rds of your handicap?
Simply if we use full handicap it heavily favours the high handicap players & if we use no handicap it
heavily favours the low handicap players. After running sample reports from last years data using many different allowances the use of 2/3rds produces the fairest results allowing low, medium & high handicap players
to feature at the top of the leader board.
The Committee agreed that 2/3rds be used.
