Competition Divisions

When there are enough entries, we pay out two divisions for our midweek competitions. Currently the split is based on handicaps up to 14 and then 15 plus, which goes back to the time 28 was the maximum handicap.

With the switch to WHS Match & Handicap reviewed the handicap indices of all members and have decided to change the competitions to

Sunday & Midweek
Division One – Up to 20
Division Two – 21 and above

60 Plus
Division One – up to 23
Division Two – 24 and above

Saturday
This exercise will be repeated nearer the start of the summer competitions but based on the current start sheet
Division One – up to 14
Division Two – 15 to 20
Division Three – 21 and above
