Q. How does the competition work and what should I expect on the day?

A. Our Events are Singles Stableford and almost always Handicap Qualifying, we pay out £700 of prizes as a minimum. Registration opens 45 minutes before the 1st tee time, we do nearest pins x 3 and this is usually ProV1s as the Prize. We operate Live scoring via our app 'Golf Genius' so make sure to have it downloaded.

 

Q. Can I Get a Refund if I cancel?

A. Refunds will always be offered for 1 Day events more than 3 weeks prior to the event. Less than 3 Weeks before an event is down to the discretion of Green Golf, this is usually down to if we've confirmed number with the venue. For our multi day events all deposits are non refundable. If you have an entry refunded a booking fee of £1.20 will be deducted (this is a cost of the booking system & payment provider)

 

Q. I had extra/less shots than expected on the day of the tournament based on the slope rating and my handicap, why is that?

A. Due to our events often having mixed fields (men and women playing from different tees) WHS has a differential which measures the difference in difficulty of each course. If one course is deemed easier/harder than the other one category may loose or recieve extra/less shot(s).
