11. Junior Boys Scratch and Handicap Knockouts
A player must be a junior Member of a Surrey Golf Club where his handicap is held and must
hold a CONGU handicap.
Each Club will be guaranteed two places. Home players should arrange courtesy of the course,
if this is not possible the green fee is to be shared by both players. The Home player is reminded
that it is normal etiquette to allow the Away player to play a practice round at a rate equal to or
less than the Junior introduced guest rate.
The Handicap Competition will be matchplay over 18 holes played off full handicap difference
from the members’ competition tees of the day. In the rounds, up to the Final, the away player
in each game will be allowed one extra shot, to be taken after the calculation of handicap
difference. If the away player is also a playing member of the home Club, this does not apply.
The Scratch Competition no extra shots are given.
The draws will be random with no seeding. Failure to play the match by the date shown will
result in disqualification of both players.
Caddies are NOT allowed except for the Finals and must not be a relative or a professional
golfer. Spectators MUST remain at least 25 metres from the players throughout the match.
