Individual 4 Club Tournament

August 10,2026

(Gross and Net)

Core Equipment & Play Rules

Four-Club Limit: You can select any 4 clubs (common builds feature a driver/wood, a mid-iron, a wedge, and a putter). Carrying 5 or more results in a penalty for each hole played.
Adding/Replacing Clubs: If you start with fewer than 4 clubs, you may add clubs up to the limit mid-round. Damaged clubs can be replaced or repaired only if broken through normal play.
Sharing Restriction: In an individual tournament, you cannot borrow clubs from another competitor as it breaks your own limit or violates independent play.

Scoring & Penalties

Standard Scoring: Played as individual stroke play (lowest total score wins).  We will be recognizing for both gross and net scores.

Opting Out: If you choose to opt out of the tournament advise the starters that you will be playing with a full set.  The list will then be passed onto the tournament committee.

Exceeding the Limit: Adding a 5th club or failing to shed an extra club immediately incurs a penalty of two strokes per hole.

We had a very large number of no shows last week. Continued no-shows without notification could result in the League being held financially responsible for unused tee times, which may ultimately affect all members.

Just a Friendly reminder!!

New Golf Rules for Seniors: The Veterans Golf Association has negotiated with The Royal and Ancient in St Andrews, to modify the Rules of Golf for Seniors.

Rule 5.

Putts that stop close enough to the cup that they could be blown in, may be blown in. This does not apply to balls more than three inches from the hole. No one wants to make a travesty of the game.
