It has been many years since prize allocation has been explained to members and, with many new members joining the club in recent times, it is timely to outline how the system operates.
Our aim has always been to provide a fair and balanced distribution of prizes across the field while recognising outstanding performances in both gross and nett competitions. Prize allocations are determined by field size and competition format, with the Match Committee regularly reviewing the structure to ensure value for members and sustainability for the club.
In all competitions, the major prize winners are those returning the best scores on the day, with additional ball competitions extending further down the field depending on numbers. This ensures that a broad range of members have the opportunity to share in the prize pool each week.
Members should also be aware that voucher amounts and prize distributions can vary between standard competitions, honour board events, Monthly Medals, and special club events. Sponsorship and event-specific funding may also influence allocations for major competitions throughout the year.
The system has served the club well for many years and remains focused on fairness, participation, and rewarding good golf across all grades. Should any member have questions regarding prize allocation, they are always welcome to speak with the club Captain or a member of the Match Committee.
