To be eligible for our knockouts, a player must meet the age and handicap index requirements as detailed in Appendix A of our Rules and Regulations.

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

All entries shall be subject to approval by the Championship Committee, who reserve the right to accept or refuse any entry. The Committee’s decision shall be final and the reason for the decision may be withheld.

Playing Handicaps are based on the WHS Playing Handicap Mandatory Allowances Table.

Please note that caddies are not permitted in any Junior Event.

The format of the competition is singles match play over 18 holes. The WHS mandatory handicap allowance is 100%. The match must be played to a conclusion, and in the event of a halved match after eighteen holes, play must continue until one player wins a hole.

The handicap index limit for this competition is 24.0. If a player's course handicap is above 24, which could happen depending on the golf course that the match is being played at, then this is allowed within the rules as long as the player's handicap index is 24.0 or below.

The away player in each match will receive 1 additional shot added to their playing handicap after all calculations have been made. If the away player is also a member of the home Club, the extra shot will not apply.

Any spectators MUST remain at least 25 metres from the players throughout the round. Spectators may assist with ball searching, but if they are witnessed interfering with play in any way or providing guidance to players, then they will be asked to leave the course.
