The Standards That Shape The Golf Tour

Tournament Rules

Please Note – The T&Cs can change as the tour develops throughout the year.

All of our competitions are Singles Stableford format with a 95% handicap (WHS)

Our competitions are split into two divisions and equal prizes are split across both divisions (providing there are over 60 players)

1st – £100, 2nd – £80, 3rd – £60 in each division (Ties are split equally)

The handicap index split for Division 1 and Division 2 is generally between 9.0 – 11.5

If there are less than 60 players the competition will have just one division and prizes will be paid out to 5th (1st – £100, 2nd – £80, 3rd – £60, 4th – £40, 5th – £20)

There will always be a Gross prize at all event with no extra cost, the prize will be valued at around 50p per competitor.

All events have a minimum prize pot of £700 providing there are at least 60 competitors.

Handicaps – All players are limited to a maximum of 28 shots by index.

Players can still compete with a higher handicap but will be limited to 28 index.

Amateur players without a WHS handicap are welcome to play but won’t be eligible to win Net prizes.

Handicaps

Players must have a full record of 20 scores on their handicap record to win net prizes. At least 12 of these most be within the last 12 months. No more than 5 of these scores can be non competition scores.

Green Golf reserves the right to manually adjust handicaps if they feel players continually outperform either their own WHS handicap or the field. If your best scores (8 out of 20 ratio / best 40%) on Green Golf are lower than your WHS handicap index your handicap will be lowered to suit the Green Golf scores. If a player has not played multiple Green Golf competitions before and finishes in the top 4 of their division (and no reduction to handicap is made via WHS), Green Golf can manually adjust them for future events until they’ve played enough events to have a fair representation of their level of Golf.

If a player wins net prizes on more than one occasion and is recieves a handicap cut, Green Golf reserves the right to maintain their lowered handicap for the remainder of the season and not allow them to increase back to a higher handicap.

Green Golf reserves the right to remove players from the Order of Merit and withhold previous Prize Money if Green Golf, the players Home Club, Local Union or England Golf feel they’ve purposefully and or knowingly manipulated their handicap to increase the number of shots received.

Green Golf reserves the right to ban players from its events if Green Golf feels they’re knowingly manipulating their handicap to gain an unfair advantage on the field. Green Golf in this instance will remove prize money from a players account and add it to future prize funds.

Nearest Pins
We have Nearest the Pin Competitions at all events (usually 3 pins) the prize for this is a £40 Shop Voucher.

Gross Prize
At all events there will be a Gross Prize which will be valued at 50p per competitor, this will be rounded to the Nearest £5. (example, 63 players = £30 Prize) The Gross prize is as stated without handicaps, and is also played in Stableford Format in line with the main competition.

4BBB
Green Golf operates a side comp 4BBB which is 75% Handicap. The 4BBB is worked out from the same App as the singles, players 1&2 and 3&4 on the card make up the pairs. Players MUST let the organisers know prior to the commencement of the competition if they wish to swap the pairings. The 4BBB is open to all players for an additional fee which is either added on at the time of booking or upon signing in at the event. The 4BBB as of 2026 will have multiple winners, prizes will usually be paid out to 3rd place (this can vary depending on entry fees) ALL entry fees are paid out as prizes and it is treated like a ‘Chuck In’.

2’s
From 2026 all 2s money will be split and paid out in the form of shop credit, players can opt to take a sleeve of premium balls if they prefer on the day. The entry fee for 2s will be visible at the time of booking or communicated at the event.

Prize Money

Prize Money can be spent in our shop or on our raffle draw site.

All Prize money is held on accounts for 12 months. After 12 months’ prize money will be expired. Players looking to spend prize money can do so in store or by arranging with us to bring prizes to events. Please note – You MAY be asked for photo ID when claiming prize money in our shop, our shop staff may not know players from events and can refuse service if you can’t provide proof of your identity.

Order of Merit

Players will earn points for finshing in the top 20 at our events. If there are more than 40 players in each division then the points available will increase.

This means a solid performance across all events should result in fair points, as well as rewarding wins against a larger field.

Examples

30 players, 1st = 20pts, 2nd = 19pts, 3rd = 18pts etc

40 players, 1st = 25pts, 2nd = 24pts, 3rd = 23pts etc

50 players, 1st = 30pts, 2nd = 29pts, 3rd = 28pts etc

The Season will start in March and end at Ganton
There will be no 1.5x points at the final event
As always players will win prizes for how they finish in the Top10.

Tournament Waiver

Adverse Weather

If on the scheduled day of an event it is postponed due to adverse weather conditions, Green Golf Events will arrange a new date for the event. In this circumstance refunds will not be offered, however dependant on the circumstances a credit or transfer will be offered but this is solely down the discretion of Green Golf and this information will be decided and communicated should postponement of an event occur. (please note, Green Golf will always try to work a solution which works for all parties which include, the players, the host venue & the tour.
Course Conditions – In the event the course has restrictions due to adverse weather leading up to the competition Green Golf Events will assess the situation and decide the best course of action. If the event sits between October 1st to March 31st, course restrictions such as mats, winter tees, temporary greens etc have the potential to be in place and a refund or credit will not be offered for those reasons. This is classed as the UK Golf Winter Season. If the event sits within the general season 1st April – September 30th we will make a decision based on the circumstance and decide if any restrictions are reasonable. Please be aware that any decision regarding an event being played is solely down to the organiser.

For our multi day events all deposits are non-refundable. Any refunds will incur a £1.50 charge; this is to cover the booking system/payment provider cost from the booking.

Handicap Qualifying Events

Green Golf Events will do everything in its power to have all events played under tournament rules and as handicap qualifying events. However, Green Golf Events reserves the right to run events as non-handicap qualifying events if circumstances don’t allow for a qualifying event. Reasons could include, ‘adverse weather prevents bunkers being in play’ ‘the host venue is playing from mats’ ‘the host venue has temporary greens in play or has shortened the course’

What Our Green Golf Tour Golfers Say

” I highly recommend these events. I have attended several different ones, and this one is by far the best. The prizes are fantastic, and the organiser, Jacob, is an excellent host. ”

Ian Jolly

” We had a fantastic day thanks to the brilliant organisation! Everything was thought through from start to finish – the course, timings, hospitality and little touches that made the event run so smoothly. The effort that went into arranging the day was clear to see, and it meant everyone could just relax and enjoy themselves. A really well-organised and enjoyable golf day – highly recommend! ”

D. E.

” Green Golf Events are a great golf tour with reasonable priced competitions played individual, but with a pairs competition as a bonus; but also they have multiple events outside of the local area, so a golfing holiday as well. This weeks event was @ Chorlton cum Hardy Golf Club, not been there for years and despite the very dry spell recently the greens were well prepared and course in good condition. ”

David Owen

” I’ve played in 3 events this year already and only have good things to say about each, so much that I have another 3 already booked. Green Golf Tour are professionally organised, handicap qualifying singles competitions at fantastic clubs all around the north west and beyond. ”

David Rawlinson

” Another great day out at St Anne’s Old Links on Friday. Well organised, good range of abilities. Congratulations to the winners, course played well today but the wind made it tough – so some good performances to get the points. If you are looking for opportunities to play good courses as a single player – Green Golf is great. My 3rd season – and would definitely recommend. ”
