  • one in four of the weekly competitions (the individual and team competition) can be taken forward to a club handicap
  • the weekly competitions include special “drawn” GEMS majors and a captain’s away day.
  • if there is a clash with the GEMS/Seniors Tour, then the weekly competition will be on a Tuesday morning
  • additional individuals knock out competitions and cumulative result trophies are awarded at the end of the year.
  • funds (currently a football card) raised over the year help pay for the GEMS Prizes etc. 
  • cost is £30 (this pays for your Christmas meal etc.) per calendar year payable via our treasurer John Billington on (or after) the 1st January
