Kent Golf Limited
Kent Amateur Foursomes 2023 - sign up Rules
1. Eligible Clubs: All Clubs affiliated to KENT GOLF LIMITED which are up to date with affiliation fee payments.
2. Eligible Players: Any amateur Male Member of an Eligible Club. No player may represent more than one Club in a Calendar Year. Players in the Team may be changed between rounds. Caddies are allowed, with the exception of a professional golfer.
3. The Match: Two pairs from each Club (pairs ‘A’ and ‘B’) will play Foursomes Match Play, off Scratch, over 18 holes. Each game being over the full 18 holes. The winning Club will be the team, which is the most holes up from the aggregate of the two pairs at the end of the round. The pair from each club that tees-off first at the first hole played shall be deemed to be Pair ‘A’. If a tie is in aggregate ‘all square’ after 18 holes, pair ‘B’ shall play “sudden death” to determine the result. Each match shall be on a single match basis i.e. not “home” and “away”.
The Kent Golf General Competition Conditions shall apply.
4. Conceding Game: If during the play of a game a player is unable to continue due to illness, injury or any other reason, his pair will concede the remaining holes to their Opponents i.e. all square with 4 holes to play will produce a 4 down game result. Similarly, if a match is all square after both pairs have played 18 holes, and pair ‘B’ cannot continue into "sudden death", the Match will be conceded to the Opponents.
5. Draw Arrangements: When the draw is issued, it will specify a ‘draw date’. Within two weeks of the draw date and, thereafter, within one week of the ‘play by’ date or end date of the previous round, the Home team should make contact and offer at least three dates, spread over not less than two weeks. Should the Home team not contact the Away team within the period specified and offer dates, it will concede home advantage and the Away team may then contact the Home team, choose the venue, but must at the time of contact offer three dates, spread over not less than two weeks.
6. The Winning Club is to inform the office, by email office@kentgolf.co.uk or telephone 01797 367725 as soon as possible after the match.
Please ensure full details of the Team Contact for the season are supplied on the Entry Form.
All Rounds of the Competition are to be played by, or on, the date specified in the Draw Sheet. Total inability to do so is to be discussed with the Golf Manager.
7. Once play has begun, if the match then has to be abandoned due to course closure, and no further play can take place on the day, the result should be determined by the state of the matches when play was suspended, providing a minimum of 9 holes have been completed by each match. If a minimum of 9 holes have not been completed, the 2 team captains should arrange another date, within the time allowed and start the match afresh.
8. Disputes: Any disputes shall be referred immediately after the Match, via the County Secretary, to the Kent Golf Championship Committee - their decision shall be final.
9. The Final: The Final will be played over the course of the runners-up in the previous year. This commitment to make facilities available is part of the Entry Conditions.
