  • All our pairs events are better ball stableford competitions played off 85% handicap. This means each golfer plays their own ball, and the better score from the two on each hole counts towards the team’s total.

  • We have WHS access and check all handicaps of winning players. We ask all golfers to take photo ID with them on the day so we can link name and photo. Any exceedingly good scores, we will carry out a full investigation including contacting home clubs directly to check on the status of handicaps. For full details our exceptional score policy click here.

  • We have in place mandatory pick up when not scoring and penalties given for not keeping up with the group in front. We have marshalls on the course and a starter managing the first tee, but we rely on every golfer to act responsibly and be ready to play.

  • No, you don't. The Golf Pairs Club Membership is for additional perks. It's not required to play in this event.

  • We require for 2025 all prize winners to have played 6 formal competition rounds in the 12 months prior to the event day. 'A formal competition (used to be known as Handicap Qualifiers) is managed and administered by an "Authorised Association" (either a golf club or other organisation which is licensed by one of the golf unions to run formal competitions). These scores are submitted to the central WHS database by the AA in question, rather than by the individual. A General Play round (formerly supplementary score) counts when calculating handicap index, but are not competition rounds, since they are not administered by an Authorised Association.' The full details can be found in the CONGU handbook below.

  • All our events are run in line with the new World Handicapping System. To qualify for prizes, competitors must have a WHS handicap index which will be used to determine playing handicap for the competition.

  • Ladies, and mixed pairs can definitely participate, as we are an inclusive tour that welcomes all participants. For safety purposes juniors must be 14+ and have an official handicap and be accompanied by an adult. Regarding courtesy shots, we make all necessary adjustments based on the course rating and par of the course being played. So if a red tee has a higher course rating v par than a white tee, those playing from red tees would have handicaps adjusted accordingly.

  • Unless clearly stated in the event page It's not something we generally offer. Based on demand we are working with our clubs to potentially offer this in the future.

  • Yes you can - we welcome single golfer and we will pair you up. We had runners up in 2020 single golfers at an event who had never met! Just join up and you never know if you can't persuade a partner. In our 2021 events we had two singles paired up on the day win one of our events.

  • ‘Yes we accept a Handicap Index through the iGolf platform across our competitions.’

  • All are welcome to participate, handicap or not. However in order to win main prizes both you and your partner must have official CONGU handicaps. Although not official WHS handicaps we accept Golf Shake Handicaps. If you have a Golfshake Handicap (free) you can participate in all side competitions but you will not be able to play for the placed prizes. Should we have enough Golfshake Handicap participants you will also have a separate leaderboard and prizes will also be available.

  • We make all necessary adjustments based on the course rating. So if a red tee has a higher course rating than a white tee those playing from red tees will have handicaps adjusted accordingly in line with WHS rules on handicapping.

  • Professionals can play in our competitions. To be fair to plus amateurs, they must play from the lowest of scratch, their handicap before turning pro, or the lowest handicap in the field, whichever is lowest.
