All matches should be played over a course set up as if for a qualifying competition, off the
Club’s white medal competition tees of the day, except for the Ling KO’s that are yellow. Clubs
with a SSS of less than 64 may enter if it makes arrangements with a neighbouring Club with an
acceptable SSS to host its home matches or agrees to play all games away from home.
A Club drawn at home will be expected to arrange the fixture at their own Club unless
exceptional circumstances prevent this. Clubs entering these competitions must be able to
provide the normal courtesies of a Club. Singles must not be played in four-ball games.
Home Clubs are reminded that it is normal etiquette for the Away Teams to be offered a practice
round at a rate equal to or less than the members’ introduced guest rate prior to matches.
Extra shots received by the Away Players are not cancelled if their handicap then exceeds the
competition’s handicap limits.
For the Surrey Fives, Scratch and Plate Knockouts, order of play is in strict handicap order.
All players must have a competitive handicap on the day of the match.
