Frilford Heath EARWIGS - 45th  year

We have a number of events running throughout the year and your scoring in these will affect your Earwigs handicap.

 

The idea is that your earwigs handicap is seperate from your club handicap and we find that eventually they all balance out after adjustments when we play competitions.

 

These are mostly Stableford challenges other than the knockout cup.

​

The general rules are ;

​

Competition Winner -1

​

 42 points and over Minus 3 

 40 and 41 points Minus 2

 37 to 39 points Minus 1 

 30 to 36 points   No change

29 points and less Plus 1
