Winter League Rules

Winter League revised format 2026.

The Winter League will be played over 7 consecutive weekends, commencing on the 17th/18th January, excluding February Bank Holiday weekend, until the weekend of Sat/Sun 1st March with the final being played on Sunday 8th March.

There will be 2 weekends of singles & 2 weekends of fourballs and 2 weekends of scotch foursomes played over 6 weekends. The format each weekend will alternate between singles, fourballs and scotch foursomes starting with singles on the weekend of 17th/18th January.

Singles:
The best singles score recorded by each team member over the course of the 6 weekends will count towards the team score. The 8th player’s score will be discarded when calculating the team total. Therefore, the team total will be 7 best singles scores. Each player will have potentially 4 attempts to record their lowest score to go towards the team score.

Fourballs:
The best 3 fourball scores recorded by each team, again over the course of the 6 weeks, will count towards the team score. A fourball pairing may only count once in each of the teams fourball scores. but an individual may be counted twice if in a different pairing.

Scotch Foursomes:
The best 3 foursomes scores recorded by each team, again over the course of the 6 weeks, will count towards the team score. A foursomes pairing may only count once in each of the teams fourball scores. but an individual may be counted twice if in a different pairing.

Scoring:
The scoring calculations are much the same as last year.
The total stableford points for each team will be added together to get a team’s total singles stableford points and separately a team’s total fourball points and team’s total foursomes points.
A points system will be put in place to determine final day position in each category.
i.e. If 10 teams enter, 1st placed singles team will get 10 points, 2nd will get 9 and so on. A similar calculation will be done to calculate the fourball and foursomes placings of each team.

In the event of ties a count back system will be operated, based on the best score basis.

The final day will be a team of 4, with the best card from each team counted and teams allocated points based on a calculation similar to that used above. The total number of points over the entire series will determine the final placings.

All the singles, fourball and foursomes competitions will be played over 12 holes.
