CLUB LADDER
COMPETITIONS RE-VAMPED
For 2013, the club
ladder competitions have
been revised.
All friendly games,
both handicap and level,
played on a full lawn
throughout the season can be
played as ladder games
provided both players agree
before the games are played. The
games can be of any format
or length.
The ladder games will
be put on Handicap Cards and
entered on the results sheet
pinned to the Notice Board. The
new Monday competition games
will all be ladder games. 14
point single games on a
large lawn in the Wednesday
competition can also be
included if both players
agree.
No other competitive
games can be included. The
Handicap ladder table will
be based on the percentage
wins, while the Level ladder
will use a form of the
grading system.

GROUND
MANAGER'S BOOK
This time of year, when
there are many games to be
played, the Ground Manager's
book becomes full with
notifications of matches
needing to be played and
does not leave room for Alan
to use it for the purposes
for which it was intended.
Therefore, a new system is
to be introduced by way of a
weekely sheet that will be
kept in a folder on the bar.
Its purpose is for
details to be given of games
needing to be played,
stating the date, time,
players and competition. IT
IS NOT A BOOKING SYSTEM but
is purely to be used by Alan
so that he knows what lawns
to prepare for the day
ahead. |
