WOMEN'S INTER-CLUB UPDATE                                                               
April 2024

SHEELAH CREASY BOWL

The new format works as follows – three singles matchplay games, players go out in ascending handicap order of play (lowest handicap player first).  Two greensomes matchplay games follow, pairs go out in ascending handicap order of play (lowest combined playing handicap pair out first).

In singles matchplay the handicap allowance is 100%, strokes received are the full handicap difference taken from the lower handicap player.

In greensomes the handicap allowance is 60% of the lowest course handicap combines with 40% of the highest course handicap.  For greensomes matchplay the difference between the calculated allowances of each pair determines how many shots are given.  DevonGolf is using the rounded course handicap for the greensomes calculation.

For example:

Team A whose course handicaps are 23 & 31 play against Team B with course handicaps of 24 & 38.

Team A: (23 x 0.6) + (31 x 0.4) = 13.8 + 12.4 = 26.2 rounded down to 26

Team B: (24 x 0.6) + (38 x 0.4) = 14.4 + 15.2 = 29.6 rounded up to 30

Therefore, Team A gives Team B 4 shots in the match (30 - 26 = 4)

Each pairs combined course handicaps are calculated.

50% of the difference between the two teams’ calculated course handicap determines how many shots are given (rounded up if necessary). 

MATCH MEALS  (for Sheelah Creasy, Presidents & Still Cup matches)

Please remember the importance of partaking in match meals as they are an important source of revenue for the host club (as there are no green fees involved) as well as an important social interaction.  Match meals can be full meals or lighter refreshments taken before or after the game. 

We suggest Team Captains discuss catering with each other to find the right choice in terms of type of food, timings and costs for both teams.  Clubs can charge visiting teams for match meals for players even if they do not partake (ie min 7 meals charged per team). 

If clubs do not support each other by partaking in match meals, host clubs may start to charge green fees.
