IMPORTANT CHANGES TO COMPETITIONS PLAYED NEXT WEEK

Due to the implementation of the World Handicapping System and  MiClub being down from Monday 27th Jan to Friday 31st Jan we will only be running 4BBB Events.

One exception to this is the ladies medal on Wednesday, this will be played as normal, however no announcements will be done on the day due to potential handicap changes.

These cards will then be processed after Friday once the system comes back on line.

The new world handicapping system will have a minimal effect to many of you but if you would like to see how it is changing please click the link below.
