Swindle Process 2024
The Swindle rules will remain pretty much as for last year, but with changes to the cash table and system of cuts
Booking and Playing
Each MWF 4-6 standard tees will be booked using a standard list of names.
On Tuesdays an Email will be sent to all Seniors inviting requests to play on MWF of the following Week - Replies by 5pm Thursday.
A list of the players for each of those days ie MWF, will then be posted on the WP Seniors Website.
On Fridays we will advise the club if any of the standard tees are not required in the following week.
Players MUST double check which days they are playing and be clear about the meeting time. If you can’t turn up for any reason give as much notice to the Organiser as possible preferably by WhatsApp Golf If its last min problem make sure one of the Organiser gets a message,
Playing Groups/Times etc
To maintain a central principle of the Swindle (that players are mixed and do not form groups within groups), all tee times and playing partners will be drawn. The draw(s) will take place immediately before play. Remember to have a ball with your name on it for the draw!
Where there are up to 24 players ie 6 groups there will be one ‘turn up’ time. That will usually be 7.40. (or another time to be advised)
Where the total number for any one day is more than 6 groups we may set two A.M. meeting times to carry out the draw and start play, normally these will be:
- 7.40 - 1st of 4 tees start 7.48
- 8.00 - 5th tee on starts 8.20
Players will have to turn up on time to be ‘golf ready’ (that means dressed for golf with equipment ready) to take part in the draw and go straight off the 1st if they are so drawn- the organiser(s) for that day will conduct the draw.
Golf Score Cards - Results
It goes without saying that each scorecard needs to have all the required information recorded in a readable and accurate fashion!
We will try and maintain the publication of all daily results on the website (in addition to the regularly updated overall table).
The £1 Swindle fee will be collected on the day so have cash in your pockets!
All this might sound a bit complicated because we’ve put our admin processes into it, but for you it will be very easy:
1 Reply to the Tuesday email on time
2 Check the website for play details
3 Turn up on the right day at the right time
4 Record your score
5 Report your score
6 Pay your £1
Win (not much) money!
The arrangements will be reviewed as required.
