Final details updated to include entry lists for A and B courses. Final details now avaliable here. Important notice UPDATED: There was a typographic error on event sheets distributed at the JK concerning the number of points to qualify as a handicap team on the B course. Based on the entries we have received to date we have decided to accept B course handicap and women’s handicap with 29 handicap points or less. Details on the website and online entry form have been updated to reflect this. We would be grateful if competitors reading this could make sure that your club captain is aware of this change at the earliest opportunity.
