Mens Hospice Cup on Sunday 7th June 2020 Captain’s Day will not take place on Sunday 7th June as planned due to the restrictions on social distancing. Instead, we will be running the Hospice Cup playing in 2-balls and following the social distancing arrangements that have been put in place. The allocated tee times (7.58-11.58) were filled up very quickly but members who book a time and play outside these times can still enter the competition – just let Jon Ford know by 6pm on Saturday 6th June that you are taking part. Note you must have a playing partner to verify your score. This is an annual charity event to support St Catherine’s Hospice and entry is free this year but we invite members to make an entirely voluntary donation to the Hospice via this link (even if you can’t play in the competition you can still donate): https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/cottesmore-hospice-cup Usually members contribute £5 and some donate raffle prizes or buy raffle tickets so please be generous and let’s see if we can match the £900 raised in 2019. After the competition, you will be able to enter your score online under “my golf” in the members' section or send me a picture of your signed scorecard. Failing that simply put your signed card (only one signature required but both scores please) in the box outside the pro-shop. The results will be published on Monday 8th June. Any queries contact Jon Ford: email: cottesmoremenshandicaps@gmail.com or mobile: 07806 796717 Monthly Stableford on 30th-31st May – Buchan Cup Qualifier The monthly medal scheduled for the last weekend in May will be replaced by a Monthly Stableford to run across the weekend. You can play on either Saturday or Sunday but must enter in the pro-shop before your round.
Entry is FREE but you can only enter once. This competition will also act as a qualifier for the revised Buchan Cup (see below) and will be included in the Royal Marsden Eclectic and “best of series”. The Royal Marsden Eclectic is open for booking online and closes on 1st June – entry £5 – we will set up a JustGiving page to collect this for those who have not paid yet. The original bookings for this still stand.
Buchan Cup Now that golf in 2-balls can be played we are going to re-instate the Buchan Cup with a reduced field of 16 or 32 (depending on interest) due to the shortened time available. Entry is FREE.
To take part in this handicap match-play knockout competition, enter online by 6pm on Sunday 31st May AND play in the Monthly Stableford that will run across the weekend 30-31st May. The top 16 players in the monthly stableford who have entered the Buchan Cup will be placed in a knock-out draw for the Buchan Cup. This will be increased to 32 if there is sufficient interest but the first round would have to be played by 14th June or a coin will be tossed to decide the winner – no extensions. Scratch Knock-out Now that golf in 2-balls can be played we are going to re-instate the Scratch Cup with the field limited to 16 and is open to category 1 and 2 members only (handicap limit of12). To take part in this scratch match-play knockout competition enter online by 6pm on Sunday 31st; FREE entry.
This is a seeded competition based on handicap and if there are more than 16 entries preference will be given to the lower handicap players.
