Ties - In knockout
competitions, ties will be determined on a 'sudden death' principle. In strokeplay or stableford competitions ties shall be determined, with the appropriate handicap allowance being applied, as follows :-
1) For 18 hole events, the best score for the last 9 holes will be used. If there is still a tie, then use the last 6, 3 and 1 holes until a winner is determined. If a tie still persists, then go hole by hole from the 18th backwards.
2) In 27, 36, 54 & 72 hole events, the last eighteen holes shall be used and if still tied, then use
the count-back procedure as described in 1 above.

Four cards a year must be submitted (from qualifying competitions) to be eligible to

Mixed Events
The following recommendation has been extracted from the CONGU
Unified Handicapping System booklet.
'When ladies are in Stroke Play, Par, Stableford, or Match Play competition with men,
it is recommended that the following adjustments to handicaps should be a condition
of the competition and should be made before the Handicap Allowance is calculated'.
SUMMER CARD
When Ladies play from Ladies' Tees at High Elms
Because the men's Standard Scratch Score is less than the ladies' Standard Scratch Score,
the ladies' handicaps should be increased by 2 shots (the difference between the Standard
Scratch Scores).
When Ladies play from Men's Tees at High Elms
Because the men's Standard Scratch Score is less than the ladies' Standard Scratch Score,
the ladies' handicaps should be increased by 2 shots, plus an additional 3 strokes
because of the extra length on the men's course over the 18 holes (One shot for every
180 yards).
Scores returned by ladies playing from men's tees will not count for handicap purposes
unless a ladies' Standard Scratch Score has been assessed from the men's tees in
accordance with the System.
WINTER CARD
When Ladies play from the Mats at High Elms
Because the men's Standard Scratch Score is less than the ladies' Standard Scratch Score,
the ladies' handicaps should be increased by 4 shots (the difference between
the Standard Scratch Scores).
