The stakes, hoops and ropes that are up to restrict access to various parts of the course are ‘moveable obstructions’. If your ball strikes any of these obstructions, you play your ball where it lies. You cannot replay your shot. If you feel you are at risk of hitting a moveable obstruction or it interferes with your swing of stance, you may move it. You must put it back after you have played your shot.

Top 16 teams qualify

The John Barker Winter Cup is a 4 Ball Better Ball (4BBB) Handicap Matchplay event. Qualifying is a 4BBB Par round. You team up with a partner and in the qualifying round you count the best score of you and your partner on each hole.

During the handicap matchplay part of the event, 2 pairs compete against each other and the player with the lowest handicap goes to scratch (0). All of the other players handicaps move to the difference between the lowest handicap and their own. Example.

Team 1. Bill's handicap is 4 and Tom's is 12

Team 2. Jason's handicap is 7 and Mark's is 16.

When these two teams play each other, Bill goes to 0, Tom, 8, Jason, 3 and Mark 12.

They play each other in matchplay and Tom, Jason and Mark receive strokes on the holes indexed according to their handicap. In the matchplay the winner of each hole is determined by the player who has the lowest nett (strokes less handicap) score.

Monthly Medal Playoff
