Competition Rules & Payment Details

All competition and match entries are made online using the Intelligent Golf app. 

Background

The Intelligent Golf software was adopted in 2020 and the membership is able to access the system under Competitions, Upcoming. Select the event you wish to enter. Payment is required on entry alongside details of your playing partner(s). We accept solo entries - and encourage this as a means of meeting other society members.

You will only be able to sign up for yourself; please email the organiser with any requests for playing partners and preferred start times.

Dietary Requirements

The SWGA is happy to communicate any dietary requirements to the hosting club for a competition, match or other event organised by us, provided the member has so notified the SWGA organiser at least 3 weeks in advance of the event. Such notification needs to be given for each SWGA event that such member attends.

Nevertheless, it remains the responsibility of the member to inform the hosting club of any dietary requirements including food allergies they may have before attending any SWGA event and to satisfy herself of any assurances given by the hosting club. 

Under no circumstance does the SWGA accept any liability for any loss, damage or injury of any kind that may arise from food and drink consumption at any SWGA event. 

Attendance and consumption of food and drink at any SWGA event is entirely at your own risk.

Payment

Once entered, make payment online by bank transfer to the SWGA (South) account:

• Account Name: SWGA South
• Sort Code: 60 23 40

Please use the event location and your surname as reference e.g. North Hants Parrish

Only pay for yourself and NOT your whole team.

Competitions & Matches

Competitions and matches will open 3 months ahead of the date of the meeting. Please do not send any payment to the treasurer prior to the competition opening date.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE GIVEN AFTER THE CLOSING DATE (Usually 3 weeks before the event) - unless there are extenuating circumstances. 

If meetings and matches are oversubscribed, entries will be on a first come, first served basis, except for the Championship which will be balloted by handicap.

Championship

The Championship will be held for both elite and handicap players.

Cups and Trophies

All cups and challenge trophies will be presented at the Annual General Meeting.

Winners will be notified before the AGM and will be expected to attend to collect their trophy.

Winners will be responsible for organising the engraving of their trophy. The expense of engraving will be refunded by the treasurer on production of a reciept.
