 Eclectic leaders  at Bangpakong Riverside (Available to sponsor)

Even with Tor knocking off 2 shots Ch-Yuk's great round has lept him to the lead of flight A eclectic but only one shot ahead. Despite being away, Murray still leads flight B with Keith Hales 2 back. David O' takes over flight C partially due to cutting some shots but also  with Peter VZ moving up to flight B. Moya Jane Harris and jumped to 2nd 5 shots behind. Still a long way to go.

LGC LOCAL RULES

Caddy Rule

If caddies err on one occasion do not penalise but WARN the caddy, a repeat infringement will incur penalty.Reference by Captain to members, Pre-warn before game commences. Local rule-one listed transgression is acceptable but WARN and after that penalise. We all know the caddy is there to carry your bag and they will err on some occasion, so please use this ruling with common sense and if in doubt play a second ball and seek a ruling in the club house from the captain.

Handicaps

New Handicap

The society uses the internationally recognised CONGU handicap system. As such we will accept a CONGU handicap certificate from a recognised club or society which is not more than 6 months old and can be verified. This would include handicaps from both Bangkok Wanderers and the British Club. Once recognised, we require one qualifying game before you can participate in events. If you do not have a CONGU handicap, your first 3 qualifying cards will be used to determine your new handicap under CONGU rules. Once awarded you can then participate in events. Such cards will then count towards annual eclectic competitions.

Lapsing of and reinstatement of lapsed handicaps

Any member who has not competed in a Londoner event for a continuous six month period will have his/her handicap suspended. The handicap will be reinstated when the member competes in a qualifying event. The scores from the event in which the player has his/her handicap reinstated will be taken into account for the eclectic competition. We will also accept a returning members handicap if they have completed in a qualifying event having a current active handicap with the Bangkok Wanderers Golf club or British Club.

Changes to handicap

As established international rules indicate, handicap changes are immediate following a handicap qualifying competition. It is the players responsibility to ensure such charges are known and declared at the next event. If you are playing within a day or two of the last competition please ask after the event for your new handicap. Otherwise, updates are available at the handicaps page of this site within a day or so. The only exception to this is where you play a competition over more than one day. The handicap change does not then take affect until the end of the competitions final day.

Measuring Device During a recent meeting your committee agreed on a local ruling as recommended by the R & A

Therefore for all Londoner Golf Club events then the ruling as written…..

A player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance only.
If, during a stipulated round a player uses a distance-measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play
(e.g. gradient, windspeed, temperature etc.), the player is in breach of rule 14-3 for which the penalty is disqualification, regardless of whether such additional function is actually used”

So…..

“Distance measuring devices may be used for the 2010 season and the sharing of any information relating exclusively to the distance obtained from such devises is permissible.
However, we do not encourage, indeed, we actively discourage, the sharing of such devices as we believe this will hold up play; therefore, if you wish to try such a device,
we urge you to be most considerate of others when so doing”.

Match Play

As always competitors should agree at the commencement of a match their preference to complete the match in the event of a draw. You may consider;

Replay the game if time permits, replay the 1st hole you started on and continue from there, best number of putts on the putting green, or spin a coin.

Wet Weather

At the discretion of the organising committee, if conditions are considered too wet to be reasonable for normal play, they may declare and tell players to "lift, clean and place, through the green". Through The Green Definition: A description of the whole hole, excluding the teeing ground and putting green, and all hazards. This means you can mark, pick up and clean, replacing within 6 inches of the original mark, with no penalty, whether in fairway or rough. You may occasionally also be advised "closely mown areas only". This means the ruling is restricted to fairways and the first cut or rough only, including around the greens.
