A maximum of 14 students will be permitted to compete from each District, 5 individual boys, 5 individual girls and a school team of 4 students.  Students must have scored 130 or less (18 holes) in their group competition.

The convener is in sole charge of the day and his decision is final, subject to the Zone’s protest procedures

Competition Format:

Golf will be conducted under the ``Laws of Golf' except as altered by the local rules of the Club (either as a permanent or temporary change) or as altered by the convener to suit special conditions which may prevail.

The formal competition will consist of stroke play event for Individual Boys, Individual Girls and a School Team Event; and a handicap competition for Individual Boys and Individual Girls.  Players wishing to be considered for the handicap competition must be able to verify their handicap on request by providing a current Australian Handicap Certificate from their Club or their Golf Link card.

A team is to consist of 4 players (Boys and/or Girls), with the best three scores to count.  Should school teams finish with the same aggregate score, a count back will apply where the third players' scores will determine the winner. If these scores are equal, the score of the second placed golfer will determine the winner. A draw will be declared if a winner cannot be found.

The scratch scores of students competing in a team will count for the individual and team championships.

Any player not appropriately attired, as listed, will not be permitted to participate in the Championship.

Competitors may be penalised for slow play or disqualified for other more serious breaches of etiquette or rules of play.
