County Members Welcome

• ELIGIBILITY – All entrants must be paid-up County Members.
• ENTRY FORMS can be downloaded when available; ensure that you select “Landscape” mode when printing.
• ENTRY FEE for meetings is £36 per pair.
• FORM OF COMPETITION – A Fourball Better Ball Stableford from yellow tees.
• HANDICAP ALLOWANCE – 85% of the WHS course handicap specific to the course being played with full stroke allowance.
• Only players with a WHS handicap will be eligible to win the prizes in County Members meetings.
• Members may enter both of the Spring, Summer, Autumn & Seniors events and will be accommodated if not over-subscribed.
• Entry to the Seniors meetings is restricted to those members who are 55 years old or older on the day of the competition.
• ENTRY PROCESS – make an entry on-line, using the “Register” link on the schedule of events on the Yorkshire Union of Golf Clubs website, under the County Members tab. Payment will be taken on-line by credit or debit card using Stripe. Your email address will be required, and when the draw is done, you will be notified by email of the start time which you have been allocated.
• You can also submit by post a fully completed entry form, showing details of both players, INCLUDING MEMBERSHIP NUMBERS, before the closing date, together with the entry fee. These can be found in the 2021 handbook that will be available shortly. Please send a separate cheque for each event; the cheque should be dated for the event date, as shown on the entry form.
• Payments are taken at the time of booking, apart from those who go onto the wait list. No payment will be taken until the pairing is moved from the wait list to the ‘confirmed’ list.
• After the Competition closing date, should a pair drop out, entry monies will NOT be refunded but entrants may arrange for a substitution providing the player substituted complies with the above rules.
• USE OF BUGGIES subject to the agreement of the Host Club and following prior production of a medical certificate of disability, a motorised golf cart for the exclusive use only of the person named on the certificate will be permitted; his partner is not allowed to make any use of that Buggy unless he also has medical dispensation.

Any member of any club affiliated to the Yorkshire Union of Golf Clubs may become a County member applying online here or by completing an application form and submitting it to the Secretary of the County Members Association along with the appropriate one-off life membership fee, currently £40.

You then receive a fixture list and County Members’ Yearbook which includes the event entry forms. You are also entitled to purchase and wear the Association tie and knitwear.

Once you have become a County Member you can enter any of the ten competitions run by the Association each year (Seniors events restricted to players over 55 years of age on the day of the competition). These events are held at courses throughout Yorkshire so you will enjoy a variety of different types of courses and challenges. All competitions are Fourball Better Ball, so you enter as a pair with one of your golfing friends, not necessarily from the same club, which means the events are great social events.

Prizes are presented, usually by the County President, to the top five scores of the day.

Joining is simple.
