Our internal competitions are listed below. If you click on the competition name you'll see a page with the draw.

Gentlemen's Competitions	These are all knock-out competitions with play-by dates for each round. The captain has warned that these dates will be strictly enforced.
*Championship*	Open singles (no handicapping), 4 woods per end, first to 21 shots.

*Salinger Cup*	Handicapped singles. 2021 handicaps are listed below. 4 woods, first to 21 shots plus handicap difference. So if for instance in 2021 Noel Barry played Kevin Dwyer, Kevin wouldn't win until he got to 32 shots.
*Two Woods*	Open singles, 2 woods, 21 ends.
*Stockman*	Like the Championship, but only open to those who have never won a singles competition at any club.

*100 Points*	Handicapped singles with different scoring: 4 points for the wood nearest the jack, 3 for the next, then 2, then 1. 4 woods, first to 100 points plus 5 times the handicap difference. Against Noel, Kevin would have had to get to 155 points.

*Pairs*	Handicapped. You don't choose your partner - you get matched up at random. The handicap of the pair is the total of the two handicaps. The handicap difference is added to the score of the weaker pair at the start of the game. 4 woods, 21 ends.
