National Events Costing 2012

If you are considering entering any of this year’s National Events please take a look at the expected financial commitment required. I have put this together because I realise that times are hard for everybody & the cost of these events may sway your decision to play.

Please also note that the use of service transport is not always included, we are still very fortunate in Herts that the Service will provide transport where absolutely necessary but we must be aware that the Service are looking at cutting cost as well so in some events it may be down to us to make our way there.

How to Qualify

Intoto Cup

Points are earnt during the course of the season of HFRS events. Nine events have qualification points as well as order of merit points.
Qualification is taken from the best six scores from nine events. The top four points scorers will qualify minus any player who has qualified for the Sheriffs Cup. (one player cannot play in both vents)
In the event that a player qualifying for the Sheriffs Cup cannot play in that event, he will move down to an Intoto Place

National Events

Sheriffs Cup :
The Sheriffs Cup is a national event where HFRS Golf Section will be represented by a team of four players. There is a handicap limit of 16 for this event. To qualify for the team points are awarded at our internal events & selection is based on the previous years performance. There are 9 points qualifying rounds of which your best 6 scores will count. (players that have completed the 6 rounds will be considered first for qualification) If there are not enough people with six counting scores then we will look further down to the players with 5 scores & so on

All other National Events.
The Pairs, Stableford & Singles Competitions have no qualifying criteria although a maximum handicap of 18 is applicable. However we are limited to the number of players/teams we can enter for these competitions. In the event that several people apply to play in the National Events, a draw will be held to decide the teams at the begining of the year. If you would like to be entered into the draw you will be asked for an expression of interest in January & the draw will take place at our first event. (Normally Feb)
