The Kelso Hamilton East KO Rules

Each Club shall be represented by one or two teams of two players with a handicap index between 13.0 and 18.0. Once the draw has been made, if a player’s handicap index increases beyond 18.0, he must continue to play off 18.0. However, if a player’s handicap index decreases from 13.0, he must play off that new handicap index.

Both players shall be 18 years of age or over on the 1st of January for that year’s knockout
The Competition will be knockout match played over 18 holes in a four-ball better ball format. The WHS mandatory handicap allowance will be 90%. Each away player will receive 1 additional shot added to their playing handicap after all calculations have been considered. If the away player is also a playing member of the home club, the extra shot will not apply.
The match must be played to a conclusion and in the event of a halved match after eighteen holes, play shall continue until one team wins a hole.

The draw will be made in two sections, East, and West, and will indicate which Club shall play at home or away in each round.

Team substitutions are not permitted once the first round has been played.

The knockouts will be open to all players who are an affiliated member of a Surrey Golf Club.

All matches should be played over a course set up as if for a qualifying competition, off the Club’s medal tees of the day.

All Surrey Knockouts will be played under the rules of the R&A and local rules as per the hosting clubs, unless otherwise advised.

All matches must be played to a conclusion until the overall competition result is decided.

A player may represent their club in as many of the knockouts as required but they may not represent more than one team in the same knockout at their club or for another Surrey club.

Assuming the previous year’s finalists are in the draw they will be seeded in each of the knockouts.
Home clubs/players are reminded that is it the rules of the competition to allow the players of the Away Team to play a practice round at a rate equal to or less than the members’ introduced guest rate, prior to the match date.

The home team/player is expected to offer at least three dates to their opponents to play the match, two at weekends and one mid-week with exception of the Seniors. These dates must be offered in a timely manner, if none of these dates are acceptable to the visitors and no other mutually acceptable date is agreed, then both teams will be disqualified. We suggest that matches are played sooner rather than later. The Competition Committees decision is final.

WHILST IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE HOME TEAM TO OFFER DATES IT IS EXPECTED THAT ALL TEAMS/PLAYERS WILL MUTUALLY AGREE TO PLAY THEIR MATCHES BEFORE THE COMPLETION DATE OF EACH ROUND.

No extensions will be given.
