Paid-up 2026 members contest everything. Guests can contest closest to the pin, longest drive and the £2 pot.
As of Sunday, September 13th @ 1:28 AM
Two competitions, one card. The Cup is matchplay, Europe against USA. The Stableford is every player’s own score, for the prizes and the Spoon. Same eighteen holes, same card — both count.
Everybody plays eighteen. A match result stands the moment it is decided — 3 & 2 is 3 & 2 — but nobody picks up and nothing is conceded. Play out all eighteen and hand in a full card, because the same round decides the Stableford.
The Cup. Twenty singles matches, two in every group of four, a point for a win and a half each for a half. 10½ of 20 takes the Cup.
The Stableford. Running alongside the Cup, every player’s net Stableford points are totted up over the eighteen. The top three take 1st, 2nd and 3rd; the lowest total takes the Wooden Spoon. Twelve of the forty can’t win the Spoon — eight guests on their first outing with the society, and four who have already won it this year.
Guest Not a society member. Nine of the forty. Their points count towards the Cup, but of the prizes they can win only closest to the pin, longest drive, the £2 pot on the par 3s and, if eligible, the Wooden Spoon.
How the sides were split. The field was ranked by handicap and dealt out to give two level sides, then players and handicaps were traded in place as they firmed up. Europe now averages 20.85, USA 20.20.
