right to vary this condition in the interest of the competition.
GOLF RULES: The Rules of Golf and the Local Rules of
Toukley Golf Club and any supplementary local rules shall be the rules of play

holding a current GA handicap. No entries will be accepted from players with a
CLUB ONLY handicap. Entries may be posted or emailed but a place will only be
confirmed on receipt of the correct entry fee.

the number of entries to balance the grades.
CLOSING DATE: Once entries have closed; no refund will be

All daily events will be played on the correct handicap of the day.
·
If a player’s handicap changes between acceptance of her entry and the
first day of play such that it causes her to fall into a different division,
she must notify the TLC immediately. She will then compete in her new division
and every attempt will be made to allow her to play with competitors in that
division. However, it may be necessary for the player to play with the original
division whilst competing in a different division.
·
If a player breaks her handicap during the tournament into a different division,
she shall remain competing in her original division.
TIES: In the event of a tie, a winner will be
determined by a countback. In the 36 hole events the last day’s card will be
used and if no result obtained, the first day’s card will be used. If the
result is still a tie, joint winners will be declared.
