Handicap Index If you do not have a handicap Index we would be happy to assist you with gaining one. All we require is for you to submit cards with a total of 54 holes being played. This can be a combination of 18 or 9 holes, as the Struie Course has a 9 hole rated layout. Once we have received your cards for 54 holes we will be able to upload these scores to the WHS. General Play Scores These used be known as Supplementary cards and can be submitted to count for your handicap. To do this please register your intent to return a card on the App/iPad. If this is not available please contact the Pro Shop prior to play. You must also have someone to record your score and sign your card who must be acceptable to the Match and Handicap Committee – typically this will be someone who holds, or has held a handicap. Open Competitions As a Struie Member you benefit from a discounted rate when playing our Open competitions. Entries open for the majority of competitions around 3 months prior to play and if you are interested in playing any of these then please visit our club website https://www.golfgenius.com/ggid/rdgc/customerdirectory/5127596536607319271 or you can always keep an eye out on our members weekly newsletter, which we update with all our live competitions and details of how to enter. For most Open competitions, we hold a prize giving immediately after the event and we would ask that competitors, whether winners or losers, make themselves available for the prize giving to accept their prize and/or cheer on other prize winners. We understand that this may be difficult for those competitors who live a distance from the club but we are grateful and appreciative to those that do. Club Competitions – Men & Ladies Enter via the App/iPad, if this option is not available then please contact the Pro Shop. Entries typically open 3 to 4 weeks prior to the event. You MUST check in on the App/iPad prior to teeing off (and again please contact the Pro Shop if this is not available) and on completion of your round, you must either confirm your score on the App or enter your score into the iPad in the main entrance. If in doubt, please do not hesitate to ask the Pro Shop for help. Struie Members may only play in medals that are on the Struie Course, unless Championship Course medals say that Struie Members are eligible. The medals played on the Struie Course are “pick your own time and partner” however if you don’t have a playing partner we will pair you with another member 14
Matchplays for Struie Members Struie male members are eligible to enter the McNaughton Rosebowl and ladies are eligible to enter the Sutherland Cup, both are individual handicap matchplay events. Entry for these is also via the App/iPad. Matchplays for Full Championship Members Once you have been upgraded you will be able to enter the following matchplay events which are held over the Championship Course, in addition to those highlighted above. Ladies can play in the Sykes (singles, handicap) and the Barrow Cup (foursomes, handicap). Gents can play in the Ryle Jug (singles, handicap), the Murray Vase (singles, handicap) and the Cadzow Quaich (foursomes, handicap). The entry to matchplays is as above, i.e. via the App/iPad. You can also enter the mixed foursomes matchplay over the Championship Course and this is the Patterson Trophy. Each round of a matchplay event must be played by a certain time which will be posted on the matchplay draw. We encourage both players in the tie to make early contact to arrange the match and ensure that it is played before the closing date. Any problems with arranging a tie, or contacting your opponent, please contact the Head Professional. Matches The Club also has some very close ties with many other clubs and the resultant matches are played in great spirit with winning or losing a minor incidental in a great day of golf and comradeship. Representing your Club is always a great honour whether in a friendly inter-club match or one of the more prestigious events during the season like the Dornoch Firth League or the Northern Counties Cup for men, or the Ross Sutherland or Caithness Sutherland for ladies. The Club has a great history in these events and continues to strive not only to have a course worthy of Champions but to produce worthy Champions. Watch the club noticeboard and weekly newsletter for upcoming matches. Please note that most matches are for Full Championship members only but Struie male members may participate in the Dornoch Bridge Inter Club Match which is between Bonar Bridge/Ardgay, Tain, Portmahomack and ourselves. 15
