Surrey Order of Merit
The Order of Merit is open only to players who are eligible to play in the Surrey Amateur
Championship.
Eligible players are automatically entered into the Order of Merit, for which there is no
Entry Fee or any other requirement.
The Open Scratch Stroke Play Events that qualify for the Order of Merit are selected and
approved each year by the Championship Committee.
Should the field in any such 36-hole Individual Stroke Play Event be such that one-third
or more of the starting field are of handicap 2 or less, then that event is designated a
‘Major Individual Stroke Play Event’.
The 6 County Champions (County, Colts, Mid-Age, Seniors and County Foursomes
Champions) are joined by the top players in the Order of Merit to bring the field for the
Surrey Amateur Masters to 15 players.
In the event of a tie for the 15th place, this is resolved by relative positions in the County
Championship Qualifying Competition and then, but only as far as is necessary to resolve
the tie, in the most recent Major Individual Stroke Play Event(s).
Ranking Events and Points Allocations
Apart from the Surrey Amateur Masters itself, any points awarded for events that take place
after the County Foursomes Championship are carried forward into the following year.
