18-hole Qualifying Medal (Stroke-play) Competition with an upper Playing handicap limit of 54 (95% handicap allowance) with divisions broken down as below.

Players are asked to enter their own scores using either the IG app or the Touchscreen - remember, if a player picks up on a hole without recording an actual score or scores above Nett Double Bogey (based on their handicap) the scoring system will automatically adjust their gross score to a Nett Double Bogey. However, bear in mind - picking up on a hole in Strokeplay formatted competitions will result in an NR score for the competition but the score will still count for handicap purposes.

Once marker's and players have verified scores. Scorecards should then be handed in to the committee member handling scoring that day for verification, also ensuring that the scorecard has been completed correctly and signed by both player and marker.

Buggies may only be used in 18-hole trophies, medals and stablefords by players with a current medical certificate – to remain current this must be renewed annually with a copy supplied to the Ladies Secretary and Golf Manager at The Essex Golf & Country Club to keep on file.
