Gents will tee off on the first hole and subsequent odd numbered holes, from the Yellow tees. Ladies will tee off on the even numbered holes from the Red tees. There after it is alternative strokes.

Handicap allowances are calculated by taking 50% of the difference between each team's combined course handicaps, rounded to the nearest whole number, with the team with the higher handicap receiving the allowance. Maximum handicap allowance is 36 for Ladies and 28 for Gents

The Ladies stroke index will be used.

Please ensure £3 per couple is paid before you play.
