Duffers Day competition notes

On the Par3 and Par 5 holes, should a player fail to score any Stableford Points then they will given a score depending their handicap. So if a player gets 2 shots on a hole then their gross score for the hole will be Par + 4. If a player gets 1 shot then their gross score for the hole will be Par + 3.
