Fives West Rules

4. Inter-Club Team Competition (Surrey Fives)

The Competition shall be open to all Clubs who are affiliated to Surrey Golf and who play on a course with a minimum SSS score of 64. Each Club shall be represented by one or two teams of five players. Each team shall consist of two players with a handicap index between 5 and 12 and three players with a handicap index between 13 and 18. Handicap indexes are those active on the WHS system on the day of the match. All players must be 18 years of age or over on the day of the match. A player may not play for more than one team or Club during the Competition. Clubs may change the players in their teams in each match. If a Club inadvertently fields an ineligible player his individual game shall be awarded to his opponent.

Home Clubs are reminded that it is normal etiquette to allow the members of the Away Team to play a practice round at a rate equal to or less than the members’ introduced guest rate.

All players must have a WHS approved handicap on the day of the event.

The away player in each game will be allowed one extra shot, to be taken after the calculation of stroke difference and allowance. If the away player is also a playing member of the home club, this does not apply.

All matches should be played over a course set up as if for a qualifying competition, off the Club’s medal competition tees of the day. Clubs with a SSS of less than 64 may enter if it makes arrangements with a neighbouring Club with an acceptable SSS to host its home matches or agrees to play all games away from home.

The Competition will be knockout by 18 holes matchplay between the teams played in order of exact handicap index. The handicap allowance will be full difference. All matches must be played to a finish until the overall match result is decided, i.e., in the event of a halved match, play shall continue until one player wins a hole. The draw will be made in two sections, East and West.
