Our handicapping system: Heydon Grange operates a club handicapping system in accordance with CONGU rules.  Handicap listings of all players are regularly posted on the Men's and Ladies notice boards at the club and are up-dated after every qualifying competition.  In addition, competition results and handicaps are also posted on the howdidido.co.uk internet site.

General Play:  In addition to those scores entered via club competitions, all members are encouraged to submit cards for general play adjustments for rounds either at Heydon or another club.  All cards must be signed and placed in the general play box next to the notice board.  Don't forget to indicate the tees used.

Handicap divisions: Men's handicaps at Heydon fall into one of two handicap divisions: Division 1 (up to 14.4) and Division 2 (14.5 to 28).  Provided there are at least eight competitors in each division, all medals have winners of both divisions.  Some competitions are restricted to players in one division (ie Heydon Masters: Div 1 only; Three Counties Plate: Div 2 only) 

Home/away handicaps: If you hold a handicap at another club, you will need to decide which will be your 'Home' club for handicap purposes. This is important because you can only enter County matches or competitions through your Home club.  As an 'away' player at Heydon you are entitled to enter all club competitions.  However, the performances of away players are monitored continuously by the Handicap Secretaries.  CONGU rules will be followed to adjust away player handicaps for the purposes of Heydon competitions if a player performs regularly at Heydon at a level inconsistent with their away handicap.
