Competition Fines

From 9th November competition fines will be reintroduced.

As we aim to have everyone using the HowDidiDo app or website for Score Return and some members have not been taking their names of the Saturday Start since we returned to competitive golf we have decided to re-introduce the competition fines from Saturday 9th November.

Members failing to remove their name will have £5 removed from their competition account or if they have insufficient funds, they will be requested to pay double the following week.

Members have the right to appeal the fine to a member of the Handicap Committee should exceptional circumstances have occurred.

Our goal is to introduce competition charging with the competition fee automatically coming out of members competition account when they sign into a competition.
