inclusive.

- Entrants must be members of an affiliated golf club with an active handicap and be CDH-registered (Central
Database of Handicaps).

- Each team must submit a Team Name (see
overall scores section on

pages for examples).
REGISTRATION:
Registration takes place on Monday 7th July 2025 at Penwortham GC, and involves the checking of handicaps and issue of any information regarding the week ahead e.g. local rules and other relevant information.
Each Team Captain should attend registration at least 30 minutes before their first player is due on the tee. All Team Members should be CDH registered (or equivalent for their own relevant golfing region/country) - otherwise that Team cannot compete for the Team Prizes.
Changes to original team members may take place at registration; however any substitutions after day 1 must be notified to the Organising Committee and will render a Team ineligible for a Team Prize, they do however remain eligible for Daily Prizes.
PRIZES:
There will be a Nearest
the Pin on a Par 3 & a Nearest the Pin in 2 on a Par 4 each day.
There are Team Prizes for the first Eight Teams and Daily Prizes for the best scores on each of the four days.
Due to its value the Daily Prize on Day 4 (at
St. Annes Old Links) cannot be won by any of the top 4 teams in the overall
rankings.
BUGGIES:
If you wish to book a buggy please contact
the respective Club directly as early as possible to check availability. Contact details are on the
(linked) Contacts
page.
Buggies at Fairhaven GC:
Fairhaven do not have buggies for general hire, only to comply with the Disability Act.
They only have 3 buggies and these will be allocated on a first come first served basis to those who are either registered Disabled or can provide a current Doctor/Consultant note clearly stating that they would be unable to access the course without a buggy.
Personal Ride on Buggies at Fairhaven GC: Fairhaven are happy to accommodate personal buggies
but do need to see a copy of the relevant insurance documentation
prior to arriving at the club. If players just arrive on the day
unannounced with a buggy the insurance documentation MUST be shown
to admin staff in the office prior to play as without this players
will not be able to take their buggy on the course and this may
prevent them from participating in the competition.
COMPETITION RULES:
R&A Rules of Golf apply throughout. Score Caplayersrds will be issued each day
at Registration and must be returned to the Organising Committee within 20 minutes of completion of a round.
Play off criteria will be based on Day-4 scores and are included
in the Joining & Registration Instructions.
START TIMES:
Each 4-man team will enter against a single tee time on the online
entry start sheet, and to enable the competition to operate effectively the Organising Committee will arrange and issue all four daily start sheets which will be published
approximately one week before the event.
The tee time against which a team initially registers will only denote the approximate tee time that those four competitors play each day e.g. a team registering against tee times 08:10, 08:20,
08:30 or 08:40 will be required to play at
any of those tee times during the 4 days of the Tour. This is necessary to enable the separation of players and pairs-of-players belonging to the same team.
Thus the complete list of tee time ‘blocks’ are as follows:
