Two Shot Penalties.
Your committee has reviewed the discussion point of applying
a two shot penalty to winners of a Kitty Competition. Mindful of the Congu
rules and also the Fun/Social aspects of such competitions the findings from
that review are:-
The main purpose for the application of a two shot penalty
in “Kitty Competitions” is to reduce
the probability of a “player on form”
securing a long series of winning, thereby equalise as far as practical the
opportunities for others to win a “Kitty
competition”.
The Committee also recognise the unique situation of the “Winter League”, which as well as being a
competitive series, is in itself also a “Kitty
Competition”.
Therefore the Committee have concluded/confirmed that “Shot
penalties” shall be applied to every winner in a Kitty Competition and
applied on a once only basis by the player at their next Kitty Competition
except if the player wins this competition the penalties are retained and a
further “Two Shot penalty” added and applied to the subsequent “Kitty Competition” entry, however we agree that Penalty Shots will not be taken into
a “Winter League Event” but shall be
taken out of the Winter League by the winner.
With the above exception for going into a Winter League event, “Penalty
Shots” shall be applied to all Kitty Competitions winners of both single and
group events and applied to their next Kitty Competition played regardless of
single or a group event.
Example:- A player with 2 or
more accumulated penalties shots from Previous Kitty Competition wins shall, as
with all other players, score the “Winter
League” off their “Congu Handicap”.
Should the player win in this
event then the “Kitty Competition” aspect kicks in and earns a two shot penalty
which shall be added to any penalty Shots accumulated and applied to their next
Kitty Competition?
The final point on this issue is the administration. Keeping
tabs on it is most difficult due to varying frequency of member attendance;
therefore we consider the system to be a
system of total trust. Steve
will post a list advising members of their penalty with the date applied and
each player is expected to amend the list indicating the date the penalties
were taken.
On behalf of the Committee. Fred Court
