Dawn Patrol Winter Eclectic Competition
The Dawn Patrol Eclectic Competition will run on Wednesdays from the 23rd of October to the 18th of December. It requires you to submit a maximum of 6 cards. If weather issues impact the 9 possible Wednesdays, other dates (Mon or Fri may be made available).
A player must declare on the first tee, before a ball is struck, that the round is for an Eclectic submission.
The card must show:
- Competition = Eclectic (It should show which round he is playing e.g. 3 of 6)
- The date played
- The player’s full name
- The card must be signed by both the Marker and the Player
Play is off the Yellow tees and the gross score at each hole recorded on a score card. Please sum the card (counting N/R as NIL). On completion of a round, score cards should be submitted to me. If you are playing out of DP hours and or I am not there please leave the card behind the bar asking the bar staff to put the card with the Dawn Patrol bowl. Further IG me to tell me that you have submitted a card. You may also want to keep a photo of the card just in case.
As the eclectic is a stroke competition, under no circumstances should any putt be conceded. You must putt out.
In the interest of speeding-up play if you have a N/R on a hole mark it as N/R and move on. There is no need to complete a hole.
The onus is on each player to remember the holes they still need a good score on. However, I will attempt to publish running scores.
Please pay your £5 entry fee to Alex before the 23rd of October Start Date.
Handicap allowance: Your Handicap Index as at 23rd of October, will be used to calculate your Eclectic Handicap (EH). Your EH will be calculated using ??% of your Course Handicap**. The EH will be used at the end of all 6 rounds and will be subtracted from your Gross Eclectic round.
Notes:
- ?? The percentage has still to be agreed
- **Remember the new method of calculating a Playing Handicap takes the un-rounded Course Handicap, applies the percentage and then rounds the Playing Handicap. I mention this as you can’t just take a percentage of the Course Handicap as shown on the charts at hole 1. I will do the calculations.
