The Lowest Off The Stick is the single round gross score by a player in A, B or C grade. Handicaps are not taken into account. The only rounds where Lowest Off The Stick can be recorded are stableford and stroke competitions. In the instance of stableford competitions, each hole must be completely played out, i.e. ball cannot be picked up.
It is possible for a player to record a lowest off the stick score in multiple grades as they move from one grade to another.
Only Saturday competitions will form part of the Lowest Off the Stick competition.
Players must be financial by the conclusion of the membership grace period, i.e. March 31 for their scores to that date to be counted in the Lowest Off the Stick competition. If players become financial after the grace period their scores will only count from the time they became financial onwards.
