With the greens having been cored this week the match committee has scheduled a Par Bisque competition on Saturday 20th September. This competition is simply a variation on a standard par competition that gives players the choice of which holes they use their handicap on, rather than being dictated by the holes stroke index.
It is meant to be a fun competition and whilst standard prizes will be given due to some issues with how it is implemented the score will not count towards a players handicap.
The official rules are below and these rules, together with an example score card will be available at the club prior to play on Saturday.

The official rules are below and these rules, together with an example score card will be available at the club prior to play on Saturday.
Rules of Par Bisque:
- Par Bisque is a variation on a standard par event, except the player can decide when and how many handicap strokes he or she will use on each hole.
- This decision is made AFTER completing each hole. The player informs their maker of how many handicap strokes they wish to use for the completed hole. Over the course of 18 holes the total number of handicap strokes used cannot exceed the players’ handicap.
- The handicap used and par score gained on any previous holes cannot be altered once the next hole is commenced. Any handicap not utilised by the end of the round is lost.
- Marking the card is done by recording the stroke score in the first column, the number of handicap strokes taken in the second column and the resultant par score of “+”, “0” or “-“ in the third column. At the completion of play the second column should be totalled and must not exceed the players’ handicap whilst the third column should be totalled and entered at the top of the score card as the players result.
