Furzeley Ladies Section
Information For New Members
Being a member of Furzeley Golf Club you are very welcome to join the Ladies Section. We are a group of ladies run by a small committee and are always happy to accept new players of any standard. However, you will need a handicap
Furzeley Golf Course is not registered with England Golf and therefore players are not able to receive a WHS handicap. Since 2021, the Ladies Section have run their own handicap system, a simplified version of WHS, to enable our players to enjoy a competitive environment. The course original EG assessment gave a Course Rating of 63.7 and a Slope Rating of 102, so these values are used for players joining us with a WHS Handicap Index. All other new players must have 3 cards marked by another member to receive their initial Furzeley Ladies Handicap.
Competition Day is Friday when ladies meet at 9 am for the first tee off time of 9.30 am and can choose to play 18 or 9 holes. Those members playing 18 holes may submit their cards for reassessment of their handicap. If, for a valid reason, a player can only play 9 holes they can play the remaining 9 holes before the following Friday as long as it is marked by a fellow member and submit their card. We also play a 9 hole Fun Game on the last Wednesday of the month starting at 10.00 am.
Our website, furzeleyladiesgolf.co.uk, has a copy of the programme and has a Members Only link where members are able to sign up for Friday and Wednesday games. Information about all the games is also posted in the Ladies’ cloakroom and we ask all members to check this regularly and sign up by Thursday at the latest for Friday Roll Ups. if you are interested in playing and are unable to access the website.
The Secretary / Nominated Person liaises with the office to book tee times and sends out teams prior to Friday so you are aware of the order of play. (This is usually advised on Thursdays during the summer months with a general roll-up during the winter months).
We also have a programme of all our events, club competitions, away days, and fixtures against other clubs where we play friendly matches.
We ask for a small subscription (at present £2 a month) which is used to cover the ladies group expenses, e.g. awards, cards, Christmas subsidies for lunch and Staff Christmas boxes etc. This can be paid 6 monthly or annually in advance.
We look forward to you joining us.
