Under 8, 10, 12 and 15 Boys Flag Events

Under 10, 14 and 18 Girls Flag Events

Rules and Conditions

 

1. A parent or another adult (over 18), nominated by the parent, must supervise each child on the course. A supervisor does not require knowledge of the Rules of Golf, but some knowledge would be helpful. The role is chiefly to keep player’s score and supervise their behavior.
2. There will be a boys’ section and a girls’ section.
3. Competition shall run over 9 holes.
4. The idea is for each competitor to complete the course in 36 shots, if they do not complete this, they should mark on the scorecard where they completed their 36^th shot and then continue to complete the 9 holes.
5. Coloured wristbands will be issued to each player based on where their 36^th shot finished, as follows:
6. Red/White: 5^th hole
7. Red: 6^th hole
8. Yellow: 7^th hole
9. Yellow/Green: 8^th hole
10. Green: 9^th hole
11. Blue: Completed 9 holes in 36 shots or less
12. There will be 2 Order of Merits in this section for Under 14 Girls, Under 10 Boys

There are around 15 events that you can play in, but only your Top ten Events will count towards points on the                                               Order of Merit, culminating with the Finals Day at Kingsfield GC, Linlithgow on Sunday 28th September

The scoring system is your child must finish in the top ten of their section to gain points; the points are allocated as follows:

1. 1.    100     2.   85     3.  70     4.  60     5.  50     6.  40     7.  30     8.  20     9.  15     10.  10

If there is a tie in any position the points are shared

13. Competitors should register 30 minutes before their tee time and be on the first tee 10 minutes before their tee time.
14. Caddies are allowed for Under 10’s only unless special permission has been granted by the organisers.
15. For all adults: please refrain from giving too much advice as this does slow play on the course.           
16. All competitors will play from the same tees
17. Not more than 10 strokes in total may be taken at any hole, including a maximum of 4 putts on any green. If a competitor reaches the maximum of strokes or putts for that hole, they will record their score and progress to the next hole.
18. Fresh air shots do not count
19. After three failed attempts to play from a bunker, a competitor may throw his or her ball nearer the hole for no penalty, but only the three failed strokes will count.
20. If a ball goes into a water hazard the ball should be dropped on the opposite side of the hazard, nearest the hole under penalty of one shot.
21. On the completion of each hole, supervisors should agree the score with each of the other supervisors and players and record it on the score card.
22. The organising Committee reserves the right to amend the conditions, and the decision of the Committee will be final.
