The Victor Ludorum Trophy (Champion of Champions) will be competed for by any formal competition winner and second. (Nett Score).
In the event that either the player who comes first or second in the second and subsequent competitions has already qualified, then the player with the next best net or gross score will qualify.

- All players MUST enter their playing times in advance on the list in the Pro shop. Players seeking partners should enter names there also.
- New World Handicap System in play – check how many shots you have with your handicap against the chart on the wall between the Proshop and the café.
- Make sure you have paid the entry fee – £3.00 in an envelope to be collected from the Pro Shop, mark your name on it, date, tee time and place it in the post box in the shop prior to play.
- Do not exchange cards.
- Mark your name and your playing partners name clearly, mark your score in the player A column and your partners in the scorers column.
- At the end of the round make sure you both agree the scores for each as they will be checked, any mistakes could result in disqualification.

- Bunkers are in play – but balls can be lifted and placed within 6 inches. Please try to smooth the bunkers with a club afterwards (we still are not allowed to provide rakes).
- New members, or lapsed members without a handicap are reminded to put cards in (signed by a member) whenever they play (9 holes or 18). This will help to speed up the allocation of a handicap within the new England Golf System. Just mark the card HANDICAP and ensure your playing partners name is clearly printed.
