Monthly Stableford Competitions
Each month a stableford competition is held on a Saturday and as an alternative on the Wednesday before. Ladies may play on either of these days but may only enter the actual competition once so must elect which day they intend to compete. Winners are determined by division (silver and bronze) and receive a prize usually in form of a golf shop voucher.

In addition the best four stableford scores in the year (from August to July) are accumulated and the four ladies with the most points are eligible to compete in a match play format (1st v 4th and 2nd v 3rd) for the Joan Boycott Stableford Cup.

Monthly Medal Competitions
Medal competitions are held on a monthly basis between March and November on a Saturday and as an alternative on the Wednesday before. Ladies may play on either of these days but may only enter the actual competition once so must elect which day they intend to compete. Winners are determined by division (silver and bronze) and receive a prize usually in form of a golf shop voucher.
EGA medals:
The EG stipulates that each club runs between 4 and 24 medal competitions in a year between 1^st January and 31^st December. Belton Woods plays two EG Medal competitions per month; one on a Wednesday and one on a Saturday from March to November (inclusive). The winner of the EG medal is the player who returns the lowest aggregate of four net differential scores over the year. The player will then be invited to compete in the EG Regional Medal Final. There is no Silver and Bronze division for EG medals and no entry fee.


	Par Competitions There are 6 par competitions played on the Woodside course between June and September, 3 on a Wednesday and 3 on a Saturday. The winner of each competition (or if a player has already won a previous par competition then the player who comes second overall the 6 matches) goes through to the Par Final.

	*5 Cards** This competition is a Stableford format where players can enter as many cards as they like in a three month period. The player’s best 5 stableford scores will be counted and the winner will receive a voucher for each quarter. 5* cards may be played in conjunction with any competition, or at any other time provided that the competition book is signed and the fee is paid prior to play. Any player with a handicap may mark the card. Over the period of October - March the players best 5 stableford scores will be taken over the first 9 holes only.

Eclectic Competitions
An eclectic competition is a competition where a player tries to improve her score at each hole over a given number of rounds. We run 2 eclectic competitions over the year, the Summer Eclectic from April to September and the Winter Eclectic from October to March. For both competitions a maximum of 6 cards each for the Woodside course and Lakes course can be submitted. The winning score at the end of the period is the best net score after allowing ½ of the lady’s handicap. The fee is paid on the occasion of the first round; the competition book needs to be signed every time before going out. It is helpful if the lady can circle the holes on the card where she believes she has improved her score. The card may be played in conjunction with the monthly medal/stableford competition, or at any other time and any player with a handicap may mark the card.

Par Bar (Lakes Course only)
If a lady has a par on a hole they should find that specific hole in the book and write their details in. All entries in the Par Bar book must be countersigned by the player’s marker. The Par Bar may be played at any time and in conjunction with any other competition.
The relevant fee should be paid and the competition book should be signed to show a players intention to play. The person with the most points on each hole (calculated by multiplying the number of pars by the individual’s handicap category) in the period between the Christmas Putt and Take competitions will win a prize e.g. a cat 3 golfer who achieves 3 pars on a hole is awarded 9 points, a cat 5 golfer achieves 3 pars on the same hole is awarded 15 points. There is a prize for each of the 18 holes.

Birdie or Better Book (0 – 29 handicaps)
If a lady achieves a gross birdie, eagle or hole in one, the player should complete the details in the appropriate book. These can only be accepted in the following ladies competitions: - Medal, Stableford, 5* Cards, Par, Eclectic and any trophy competitions (including matchplay events). All entries in the book must be countersigned by the player’s marker. There is a prize for the player with the most entries in the period between the Christmas Putt and Take competitions.

Par Book (30 – 36 handicaps)
If a lady with a handicap of 30 and above achieves a gross par, eagle, birdie or hole in one the player should complete the details in the Par book. These can only be accepted in the following ladies competitions: - Medal, Stableford, 5* Cards, Par, Eclectic and any trophy competitions (including matchplay events). All entries in the book must be countersigned by the player’s marker. There is a prize for the player with the most entries in the period between the Christmas Putt and Take competitions.
