Currently we have 164 financial members of the Carbrook Veteran Golfers.  For those of you who have yet to pay your 2020 fees, please ensure that you do so prior to or on your first competition day.  To be eligible to play in Veteran competition at this and other clubs and to be eligible for prizes/NTP and ball rundown in the Carbrook Veteran Golfers competitions you are required to be 2020 financial.  Please contact Noel Timmins, Vets Vice President who will process membership payment for you.

Implementation of the International Handicap System

You would now be aware that the new International handicap system is now implemented and that some minor changes will have occurred with your playing handicap.  The other change that could result from the new system is that handicap division ranges for men in the Vets competitions may, depending on the number of players whose handicaps fall within the division ranges, occur.  There will be no changes to the Veteran ladies’ handicap division.
