Saturday Club Competitions 2025
Each Saturday competition is well supported with usually anywhere between 130 and 150 entrants.
The Sandy Trophy is awarded to the member who has performed the most consistently over the competitive season. 20 Points are awarded to the winner, 19 for second, 18 for third place and so on down to 20th place who receives 1 point. When a medal event is staged for the main honors and the Stableford option is taken, 10 points will be awarded to the winner, down to 1 point for the 10th placed competitor.
The Don Eker Trophy is much the same as the Sandy Trophy but is awarded to the most consistent competitive golfer over the age of 65 years.
Starting in April, an eclectic competition runs through the season. This is a nett and gross competition where competing members play multiple competition rounds and the best score on each hole is used to calculate an overall score. The final score is made up of the lowest score achieved on each hole, regardless of which round it was played in.
In LGC individual Strokeplay competitions there will now be an option for playing male members to enter the competition and play off the YELLOW TEES in a Stableford format over the shortened course.
The aim is to promote competitive golf enjoyment for all whilst maintaining a handicap index and assist in the general speed of play.
Please remember that;
ALL HOLES PLAYED MUST BE FROM THE YELLOW TEE MARKERS
You Score will:
• NOT count towards the main prize
And will NOT QUAILIFY FOR
• Sandy Trophy
• Don Eker Trophy
• or Eclectic Standings
When it comes to entering your score, there will be an option on the screen to enter a Men’s YELLOW TEE Stableford card. If you have played or at least attempted to play the full round from the YELLOWS, use this option. A prize for the leading Yellow Tee score of 34 points or more will be made available.
The format of competitions is subject to change, dependent on weather and golf course conditions.
PLEASE AVOID SLOW PLAY.
