Ambrose Rules:
All our games apply the Ambrose Rules. All players tee off on every hole. The best shot is then selected and this is where all players will play their second shots from, and so on. Once on the green, the best-positioned ball is selected, and all players putt from that point. Ensure you mark the spot where you are hitting from so the rest of the team can place their ball as near as possible.
Scoring is a team netafter deducting the calculated team handicap from the gross score. There is only one score for the Team per hole so teams only record the gross score (not scoreS) for each hole. Women should play off women’s tee and adjust gross team course handicap(ie before divisor) for different par of the course between men and women, if any. At both courses the par difference is 3 so three should be added to gross team course handicap (not handicap index) for each women in the team
Only keep your gross scores on each hole
There is a minimum of 5 tee shots per person for both social and open. Please Note: 1. Liquid refreshments in either plastic containers or tins can be consumed on the course during the social golf. 2. A reasonable standard of dress is required on the course, smart casual is acceptable. No cleated shoes (ie touch rugby shoes). There will be food, prize giving and spot prizes after teams have finished on the green The entry fee includes complimentary food and golf packs.
