Seems like a bit of a header alright! Im sure he will be back at some stage, surely he could make that sort of money back in 10 years as a golf pro.

Anybody sure on a rule re qualifying for handicap competitions in the winter time. Winter League, you can play your card any day of the week, although you must declare your intention to compete before starting. would be fairly confident this makes this non qualifying. Have looked the CONGU guideline but cant see this scenario covered.

I havent a clue what you mean.

By and large winter golf is non-qualifying because you're normally playing lift & place.

Its an any day card comp, so you can pick your day to play. Does this make it non qualifying. You can still play qualifying when prefered lies are in operation in the period btw October - March

Wouldn't your handicap committee at the course have the answer?

The entire comp has to be qualifying. If it's preffered lies only only the closely mown areas, ie fairways; it can be qualifying. If it's preffered lies in the rough then it's non-qualifying.

I think each club takes its own decisions on this. Our MHC have posted that for the duration of the winter competitions it is non qualifying. Adjustments to handicaps will be made during the winter but will not impact on the official GUI handicap. The MHC though has reserved the right to adjust GUI handicap in the case of exceptional scoring.

Take a bow Brody Ninyette. After Day 2, he is 32 over but then gets disqualified for signing for a wrong score.

But, he still gets $40,000 for turning up.

Where the feck is all this money in golf coming from?

Bubba's some boy. Looked to be running away with it today in China,then seemed he threw it away with a bogey on 16 and double bogey on 17th and then he chips in from the bunker for an eagle  on the 18th and makes the playoff and wins it.

He seems like a real prima Donna sometimes.
