Following on from the Competitions Review in March, a trial Eclectic Competition is to be run over a 4-month period on the last Tuesday in the month commencing in June.

These will be normal stableford competitions, with an eclectic competition running in parallel.

The entry fee will be the usual 2,50€, for each stableford competition and an additional 2.50€(debited in June) for entry into the eclectic element of the competition. This  fee  will be used as credits after the 4 rounds of the competition. Credits for the 4 stableford rounds will be awarded as normal. Maximum handicap is 40 for both Ladies & Men.

This competition will be a self-funding event as the Knockouts are.

Credits will be awarded at the conclusion of the 4 rounds for best Gross Lady & Man, winner & runner up and best lady & Man, Net winner & runner up. Credits will be issued depending on the number of entrants.

You do not have to play all 4 competitions to be part of the eclectic competition, however, your chances of winning will be increased the more competitions that you play.

Brief Description of an Eclectic Golf Competition

An eclectic tournament is a multi-round golf tournament that results in one 18-hole score per player. Golfers submit their scorecards for each round, and their lowest score for each hole across the multiple rounds contributes to give them one aggregate score. The winner of the eclectic competition is the player with the lowest aggregate score.

An eclectic tournament can be a stand-alone event contested over several days - consecutive or otherwise. More commonly, it is a bonus competition that runs concurrently, over a pre-agreed time, through other, unrelated tournaments.

Eclectics work this way:

• Each golfer plays the designated number of rounds.
• At the conclusion of those rounds, the golfer (or tournament committee) compares his scores on each holeper round. 
• The lowest score made on each hole is recorded for the eclectic, producing one 18-hole score.
• It is not necessary that every player plays in every round, but obviously the more rounds entered, the greater the chance of a player securing a low score.

For example, let's say the eclectic is made up of three rounds. In the first round, the golfer scores a 6 on the first hole; in the second round, he scores a 7 on the same hole; and in the third round, he scores a 4. The lowest of those three scores on the first hole is a 4, so 4 is the golfer's eclectic score.
