Crisp Challenge Trophy Rules 2023+

Crisp Rule 1 : a. Every Crispy will declare, before the start of play, to the golfer with whom they are playing, that they intend to play in the Crispys that day.

b. Every Crispy will have to put in a qualifying card every time they play at 95% of handicap. They will have to register on the club system under either the Crispy Competition (which will count as a General Play card and not be charged) or in the TUAP competition. Each Crispy will then submit a Crispy card (as now with the normal £3). The handicap used will be the one used in the General Play or TUP card. The 95% will help to even up the disparity between low and high handicaps.

Crisp Rule 2 : All players must have a handicap certificate. To be in the winnings, you must have submitted a handicap card within 4 weeks of playing or on the day of playing. If you have not qualified, your score will be ignored and you will lose your entry fee. New Crispies cannot collect winnings until they have played at least twice.
Crisp Rule 3 : A card should be marked in accordance with usual club rules. The card should clearly indicate the players names, their handicaps for the evening's game and their scores. To help the scorers the cards need to clearly indicate shots taken on the hole and the stableford points received.
Crisp Rule 4 : If you win you will be deducted shots from your handicap for your next game depending on your winning total.
Crisp Rule 5 : If you are in the prize money, you will be deducted points according to your score as follows:
  • 36 - 37 points: -1
  • 38 - 39 points: -2
  • 40 - 41 points: -3
  • 42 - 43 points: -4
  • 44 - 45 points: -5
  • 46 - 47 points: -6
Crisp Rule 6 : Players who equal the lowest winning score, but are not in the winnings, will not lose any Crispy Shots. If they have a negative Crispy Handicap, they will not gain a shot back.
Crisp Rule 7 : You will get one handicap shot back per round you play provided you are not in the prize money. So for example if you were cut 3 shots down to 7 handicap it would take 3 rounds outside the prize money before you get your 3 shots back.
Crisp Rule 8 : The golfer who finishes with the least points has to buy crisps for everyone. The number of players buying depends upon the amount required to settle the bill that night and will be determined by the Committee.
Crisp Rule 9 : Golfers who pay for the crisps will have one shot added to their handicap allowance. They will retain this allowance until they are in the prize money at which time they will return to their official club handicap minus any shots subject to Crisp Rule 5. If you have handicap shots owing because you were in the prize money and then you buy the crisps you will only get 1 shot back on that night and subsequent weeks until your handicap is zero. Your additional Crispy shot will then be added once your handicap has reached zero.
Crisp Rule 10 : If players have level scores normal back 9 back 6 etc applies.
Crisp Rule 11 : To qualify for the crispy trophy you must play 10 rounds or more. If you play more than 10 rounds your best 10 will count. Highest number of points will be the winner.
Crisp Rule 12 : All matches to be played on a Wednesday.
Crisp Rule 13 : There is a '2s' competition each week with money awarded, depending upon the number of 2s and the number of players. In the event of a hole in one, all of the money will be awarded to that player (or those players, if more than one).
Crisp Rule 14 : The Ian Snell Trophy will be won by the most consistent Crispy, as the average of all their scores provided:
  1. They are not the Crispy Champion.
  2. They have competed at least 15 times in the season.
Crisp Rule 15 : All entry fees (£3:00) must be paid on the day.
Crisp Rule 16 : If a competitor enters the Crispy Competition of the day but fails to finish his round, he must still pay. However his score will not count in relation to paying for the Crisps or in gaining a Crispy Shot.
Crisp Rule 17 : The chairman has the final say.
