Away Competitions

This includes all competitions played at outside venues, including other clubs to which you may belong,
County competitions, Open and National competitions. You are responsible for ensuring your score is returned to your Home Club (i.e. the club which holds your handicap).

Handicap Qualifying Competitions:
• The host club will send the results electronically to your home club via the CDH system. This can occasionally take a couple of days, so it is advisable to check with your handicap or competition secretary at your home club that they have received the results and your handicap has been adjusted accordingly.

Non-Qualifying Competitions:
• You are obliged to return competitive away scores to your Home Club (your original score card, a copy, or a photo)
• This includes all singles, team events, Am-Am, 4 Ball Betterball. Exceptions are Texas Scramble; Foursomes and Greensomes.
• Return your scores to the Handicap secretary. These will not directly affect your handicap but will be used as evidence of ability in the Annual Review
