Plowright Rules

1 The Plowright Trophy is a team Stableford competition between all Areas within the Association played at the YRGA Vice-President’s home club. The teams are selected by the Presidents of each Area who should ensure the following:

(a) that his team is comprised of

– 4 players in the lower handicap category

– 4 players in the higher handicap category

(b) that all players handicap indices are current and that they have the correct proof of their Handicap Index on the day of the competition.

2 Play will be individual Stableford over 18 holes

The three best cards in each handicap category submitted by each team will count and the team with the highest Stableford total will be declared the winners.

In the event of a tie the winners will be decided by count back of the back 9, back 6, back 3 and so on down to the final hole if necessary of the combined six scoring cards of each team.

3 If at short notice an Area is unable to field a full team as shown above then that Area may still take part in the competition. That Area’s total score will be determined by adding the scores of a maximum of 3 players from each handicap category. Players can play only in the category determined by their WHS Handicap Index. In the event that an Area has five players in either category then the four players whose scores are to count must be nominated prior to play commencing.
