Junior Categories and Handicap Management

For All Junior Parents:

Please see a link below to the current gradings for each junior member across our Blue, Red, White and 7Up categories.

Junior Categories – May 2023

Blues play an 18 hole competition every Saturday, while Reds play 9 holes (will be 14 holes during the summer) and both the Whites and 7Ups play 6 holes. The timesheet is set up by category, so a Red for example can only play in the Red competition in the designated time slots with two other Red category members. Please note that Whites and 7Ups cannot mix either.

The boys and girls move between categories as their handicaps reduce:

  1. 7Ups – start with a handicap of 54 and move to Whites when their handicap reduces to 24
  2. Whites – start at 54 and move to Reds when their handicap reduces to 18
  3. Reds – start at 36 and move to Blues when their handicap reduces to 18 (subject to Junior Committee assessment)

The Junior Committee manages handicaps for all 7Ups, Whites and Reds. All handicap cuts are based on completed competition scores only. All Blues receive WHS handicaps and their handicaps are managed accordingly.

Any changes in handicaps and category will be advised in our weekly competition results post which follows every Junior Competition.

Thanks,

The Junior Committee

Thank you to all who played, 48 entries, a great turnout on a bank holiday weekend with some amazing scoring. Both winning teams were under par gross which is very impressive.  Three prizes were not collected. They will be left in the junior locker, just ask in the pro shop or one of the Junior committee when you are next at the club.

No competition next week as the President’s Prize to the men is being played on Saturday, but take advantage of the week off school; course and practice areas are available to use all week subject to the usual guidelines. There are adult competitions but you can usually find plenty of space on the timesheet in the late afternoon, early evening. You can check on BRS for availability or again, ask in the pro shop.
