The AS resolved at
the beginning of 2013 to adopt the recommendations of the European Golf
Association (EGA) concerning “active handicaps”. As announced in March,
this will be effective at RMGC from 1 January 2014. Players will require
an active handicap to win a competition prize. To have an active
handicap, a player must have submitted at least 4 cards for handicap purposes
during the 12 months preceding a competition. Players with inactive handicaps
may participate in competitions but will not be eligible for any prizes.
If your playing partner has an inactive handicap then you will also not
be eligible for a competition prize.
Players who have
submitted cards for handicap purposes at other clubs will need to supply
appropriate evidence to the competition committee before the start of the
competition. If a player maintains an active handicap at another club and
this handicap is different from the RMGC handicap, the lower handicap will
count for the competition
Please note that
the AS has also decided that to represent any of the RMGC teams all
participants are required to have submitted at least 5 scorecards in the
previous 12 months.
