1812 Golfing Challenge scorecard

As far as I am aware this competition format has never before been considered and therefore falls outside some of the Rules of Golf. The main rule considerations are with regards to the use of the Handicap system, a player’s amateur status and the awarding of cash prizes.

Entry into the 1812 Golfing Challenge is AU$85, prizes are awarded from First to Tenth place at the conclusion of the set 12 month period.

Entry opens 8am 15 September 2024 and closes midnight 31 December 2024

Submission towards The 1812 Golfing Challenge scorecard commences 05 January 2025.

The aim of the

1812 golfing challenge:

Let’s go golfing

The game of golf is a competition, mostly with yourself, striving to improve your game, the frustration of a fluff and the joys of success, and then there are all the different scoring games to add to the game and vary the way we play, whether you are playing 4BBB, stableford or match play, the basis is to get the pill from tee to green and the bottom of the cup.
Each and every week, people head off to their golf club to play in club competitions, not for the prizes but for the joy and comradery of the game, some even commit to playing Pennant Tournaments within a division of clubs All these events from club matches all the way through to charity events have a very short duration be it a few hours for a charity fundraiser or the club monthly medal rounds.
This competition is very different, ‘The 1812 Golfing Challenge’ is open to all amateur players over the age of 18 with a verifiable Golf Australia handicap over 9 and under 50.. Entry is open Australia wide but in this, it’s inaugural year, will be capped at 300 players. An entry fee of AU$85 is applicable. This entry fee is non-refundable.
The cash prizes for a field of 300 will be awarded from first place to tenth place.
