2026 DGU Scratch Seniors Championship - DGU

2026 DRAW

Seniors Scratch Draw 2026

A copy of the draw together with a list of all contact details as provided by the participating clubs will be sent to competitors.

Players have an equal responsibility to arrange their tie. Challengers (those with the home tie) must offer opponents three dates, one of which must be at the weekend and one must be a weekday. The three dates should not be in a period of 7 consecutive days. Players should be as flexible as possible so as to avoid any disputes. The onus is on the challenger to make contact with their opponent within 14 days of the first round being published on the DGU website and within 7 days of subsequent draws from the time they are published on the DGU website. Any challenger failing to do so will forfeit the tie. Once a date has been agreed, if a player subsequently can not make the date, the opponent may claim the tie. Home advantage can be switched if both players agree.

To avoid the situation whereby the person at the top or bottom of the draw can have either a home or away tie all the way to the final, a random draw has determined which player has the home tie in each round. The player with the home tie is highlighted in yellow in the draw.

It is the responsibility of the winner of each tie to notify the result to John Struthers (DGU Secretary) by e-mail to secretary@dgu.org.uk or by text to 07740 141176 without delay and certainly no later than 48 hours following completion date of the round to enable prompt update of the website. It should be noted that no extensions to completition dates will be granted. Any result not notified accordingly will see both players eliminated from the competition.

The rules of golf, adjusted by any local and temporary local rules, will apply and all ties will be played off medal (white) tees. This is a scratch competition. In the event of a match finishing all square extra holes must be played in order to determine the winner.
