| The Bontor Trophy is the annual Men vs. Ladies singles match play
event. The two Captains go head-to-head. The remaining matches are drawn in strict handicap order. The Captains usually play in the first game and other games go out in any order. As in regular match play, the higher handicapper receives an allowance of the full difference between the handicaps of the two players. The handicaps shall be adjusted if necessary for any stroke allowances that may be relevant for mixed competitions (click here for details). Any shots are taken against the Men's stroke indices. The Bontor Trophy is awarded on the day of the event to the winning Captain (Honours Board). No further prizes are awarded, although it has been known for a Wooden Spoon to find its way to the man who loses by the largest margin. The course and tee time are to be advised. |
