The Membership fee each season is £30 for existing members and £45 for new members.
These figures are reduced based on the number of events each person participates in.
Members must renew by the end of October annually or they will be considered as a new member.
This fee includes an official Midshires shirt.
The deadline to book or cancel an event will be announced prior to each competition.
Participants should ensure that the fee is paid into the society's account by this deadline.
Should a participant cancel past this cut-off point, they will be charged to cover any costs incurred by the society.
Deposits for event bookings are required to be paid by the specified date;
otherwise individuals will be removed from the booking list.
If balances remain unpaid by the due date without any communication to the secretary,
those individuals will be taken off the booking and will lose their deposit.
Furthermore, they will be barred from booking any future trips unless they pay the full amount upfront.
Members are required to wear the designated official Midshires shirt.
If a member is not wearing the designated shirt then that event will not be counted towards membership discount.
The pricing for each event is determined to prevent any financial loss for the society. The fees collected are allocated towards covering the expenses of the day, which include prizes and monetary awards.
The society maintains its unique handicap system, reducing shots for winners
and adding shots for others to keep the overall handicap balanced.
Our society's handicaps are modified according to the WHS rules, based on the slope rating index of the host course.
New members/guests begin with their club handicap; if they don't have one, they are assigned a starting handicap of 18.
In this case they will not be part of the individual competition
until the society can assess their playing ability and adjust their handicap accordingly.
The season is comprised of seven single-day events, two three-day events, and a week-long holiday abroad.
Victors of each event earn entry to the season-ending Masters.
Additionally, a voluntary knock-out singles event is held during the season.
There are our normal prizes for the first three placed players.
The top 12 finishers in each event accumulate points towards the Order of Merit Shield.
There are our standard prizes for the first three placed players.
Additionally, we host a Par 3 Shield throughout the season, with all scores contributing.
There are our standard prizes for the first three placed players.
Event trophies are awarded and exclusively claimable by members.
Winners must ensure their trophy is returned to the society by the second-to-last event
for the purpose of engraving and re-presentation at the season's finale.
Members who do not return their trophy in time will arrange engraving at their own cost.
Competition victors also receive a commemorative keepsake.
We distribute £160 in prize money across the first three places, a team event,
and two skins competitions for different handicap levels with each category is capped at six winners,
with excess funds rolling over to subsequent events.
Minor prize winners receive a sleeve of balls, and the captain provides a bottle for his nearest to the pin challenge.
All prizes, except for the Glory Hole, are available to both members and guests.
For multi-day events, we charge an entry fee to fund the prize pool.
Our games adhere to the standard rules of golf.
Any on-course disputes are resolved in the clubhouse.
"Gimmies" are not permitted; players must complete each hole.
It's each player's duty to be informed of local rules, including pick and place policies.
Incomplete rounds result in score annulment.
One player in each group must enter the groups shots taken into the mScorecard app,
otherwise all the group will be disqualified.
An AGM, if necessary will follow the season's final day event.
