Tiger Tees Competition - Sunday 1st May

The Secretary and GGC Committee have kindly invited any Juniors with a Category 2  handicap ie 12 or less to play in this event on Sunday

It is played off the Blue Tees and presents a formidable and exacting challenge different from anything you will have done before on No 1 ! Eg the new tees on 2^nd & 9^th or indeed the tee way up the hill on 18^th . There is a different card for the Course and the SSS / CSS is normally 2 or 3 shots higher

Times are available in the afternoon  after c 2pm – played in twos – please drop in to or phone Starter on No1 for a time – there  is no need on this occasion to play with an adult.

You won’t be eligible to enter the Sweep but you are eligible to win the Trophies !

Fully appreciate that you may already have other commitments or have exam studying to do so there is absolutely no pressure but if you are available I thoroughly recommend it !

Gullane Juniors Handicap Championship for The Morrison Trophy 2011

This is a Singles match play knock-out competition (full handicap difference) to be played from  May until September. The Trophy is open to all junior members of both Gullane Golf Club and Gullane Ladies Golf club who have a handicap. We have automatically entered everyone who has a handicap and who lives reasonably locally.

The competition draw is  now available on the Junior Notice Board which is found in the Members' Clubhouse, adjacent to the Secretary’s Office.

The challengers name is shown first for each tie and it is that person’s responsibility to contact their opponent in good time to allow for the match to be played by the deadline for each round. In extreme circumstances you can apply to the Junior Convener or the Club Secretary for an extension. However, extensions will be limited in order that the competition is completed on time Ties should be played as soon as you opponent is known. There is no need to wait for the first round to be completed before playing a second round tie. The dates for all rounds to be completed are on the draw, please plan ahead.

DATE FOR PRELIM ROUND 13th MAY 

DATE FOR ROUND 1 5TH JUNE 

DATE FOR ROUND 2  26TH JUNE  

We expect common sense to apply in all cases. The challenger should offer up to 3 realistic dates to their opponent, one of which must be a Sat or Sun. The challenger should also propose the course to play the tie over but ideally that should be a joint decision, bearing in mind that some of our younger members have only had access to No 3 and they should not be made to play on No 1 or No 2 if they are not comfortable.  If agreement cannot be reached you can refer the decision to the Junior Convenor but compromise is suggested – we will normally back the younger player !

If the challenger has offered appropriate dates but the match is not fulfilled by the relevant deadline the challenger will advance but if no challenge is made the other player advances on the deadline date.

The game should be played to a conclusion on a full handicap allowance basis. Remember that girls receive an additional stroke allowance equal to the difference between Ladies SSS and the Course SSS score. The table below shows the difference to be applied for each of our courses.

Course	Mens SSS ( Yellows )	Ladies SSS	Adjustment
No. 1	70	74	4 shots
No. 2	69	73	4 shots
No. 3	66	69	3 shots

For example if a girl playing off a handicap of 16 played against a boy whose handicap was 12 on No. 2. The boy would give a total of 7 shots to the girl.

Boys play from the gents tees (yellows ) with girls playing from the ladies tees (reds). Where stokes are given, they are given as per the stroke index on the men’s card.

Contact details for most players are available from the Junior Convenors by email ( ir.mclean@yahoo.co.uk , gfswan@btinternet.com, black.nicky@googlemail.com or dunlopbeeches@aol.com)  or the Secretary secretary@gullanegolfclub.com

If needing to know your opponent in the first round or second round please e-mail Pamela at dunlopbeeches@aol.com - Pamela is responsible for the smooth running of the Morrison this year and will rule it with a rod of iron !!  

Results should be notified by the winner of each tie who enters the result and puts their name into the next round on the draw sheet on the junior notice board in the Members' Clubhouse.

We hope everybody will take part, if you are the challenger contact your opponent as soon as possible to give both of you every opportunity of playing.

Thanks

Pamela
