Noel Weir
Noel Weir Singles Knockout
This honour board event was originally known as the Victory Singles. A trophy was presented by Roy Greer and in 1971 it was changed to its present name in memory of Noel Weir who was the club captain for 19 consecutive years.
The event is open to all Full 7 Day Financial Members. This includes junior members.
This is a match play event using full handicap difference.
The Maximum handicap is 27 (you may still play if your handicap is higher but you must play off 27). The lowest marker plays off scratch, the opponent receives strokes based on the difference in handicaps, e.g. lowest player off 10, opponent off 12, the opponent gets a stroke on two holes. The holes at which he gets the strokes is determined by the Match index on the bottom of the score card. In this case they would be holes 8 and 12. If there is more than an 18 difference the extra strokes are given in the same order of holes, e.g. 19 difference, opponent receives two strokes at the 8th hole. The winner is the player who is more holes up than there are holes left to play.
