Eclectic

The Eclectic competition is designed to determine who has played each hole in the least played strokes over an entire season, i.e. March to February, taking into account player’s handicaps, to provide all players with an equal chance to win.

The formula used to determine a player’s eclectic score is to sum their best score on each hole over the season to produce a best gross score. This score is then reduced by player’s “adjusted” handicap to produce their nett score. The calculation for the “adjusted” handicap is their actual course daily handicap at the conclusion of the last competition day, divide by ¾ . For example a player records 65 for their best gross score over the 18 holes and has a handicap of 12. Their nett score is calculated as 65 – (12 x 0.75). That is 65 -9 which equals 56.

There are no placegetters in the Eclectic Competition, only the winner.

Only Saturday competitions will form part of the Eclectic competition. Scores for Eclectic competition can be drawn from any competition format, i.e. Stableford, Stroke or Match play, but does not include Pairs nor Ambrose. In the case of Stableford and Match Play the hole must be completed by the player, i.e. no pick up, for the score to count.
