Coaver Club Golf Society

Collin Willet, who is secretary of The Coaver Club Golf Society says:

The Coaver Club Golf Society has a full fixture list of monthly events from Feb to December at courses in Devon, Cornwall and Somerset. Anyone wishing to join us will be welcome to join as a full member or initially as a guest to test the water.

Some facts about The Coaver Club Golf Society.

Its been running for almost 14 years and was formed by a number of regulars at the Coaver Bar, mates of Robbie the old Coaver Manager and Golf fanatic. They were members of Coaver but, in the main, not DCC employees. Trevor Pugsley, lead singer with Barnaby, well known local rock group, was then and still is the President. There is No requirement to be a Coaver member. Our links with Coaver now tend to be on the few occasions when we go back there to have a meal, where we arrange our own Catering.

All of our meetings are 18 hole stableford affairs and we have developed our own handicap system. (shown below). Prizes for 1st 2nd 3rd and nearest pin etc.

We do not have a joining fee and details of other fees are shown below.

2015 Fixture list

This set up may well suit some of your members although I have to say we do tend to favour the Exeter area, especially in the winter months with at least one meeting at Exeter and 2 at the Warren.

COAVER GOLF SOCIETY - HANDICAP RULES 2014

1. The member's Society Handicap at the first event in a calendar year or when

joining, if later, should be equal to his Club (CONGU)handicap.

If the member does not have a Club handicap then his existing Society handicap

carries over to the new year.

New members without a Club handicap will be given a handicap agreed with

and allocated by the Captain or his nominee (this will be no greater than 24).

2. Handicaps will be adjusted during the year as follows:

After each Society event handicap cuts will be allocated as follows:

a) One shot cut for winning.

b) One shot cut for any score over 36 (or net par for the day)

c) Two shot cut for any score over 39

(i.e. any winner scoring 37 to 39 would suffer a cut of 2 shots

or any winner scoring 40 or more would suffer a cut of 3 shots)

After each Society event handicap increases will be allocated as follows:

a) One shot increase for any score under 25 (One per year only)

NB. (1) A member's Society handicap must not be greater than his club handicap.

(2) A member's Society handicap will not be adjusted upwards during the

year on account of a club handicap increase.

The Captain, at his discretion, is empowered to suspend any of the above

rules given exceptional circumstances.
