Questions & answers

Here are some of the most frequently asked questions (FAQs) that crop up and, hopefully, useful answers!  The intention is to build this up for the benefit of all, particularly new members or those considering joining the BTRGS.  If you have any questions then send them to the BTRGS Captain who will endeavour to get you an answer.

How do I go about joining the BTRGS ?

By completing the Membership Renewal Form in the Membership Pack which is available from the Home Page.

How do I get a handicap?

You play a round with a society member or a person with a handicap and ask them to mark a card for you. Send the card to the Handicap Secretary (see Committee). When you have sent 3 cards like this, they will award you a handicap for society events.

For a handicap card, do I have to play on an 18 hole course?

No, any course will do, but the round should be played over 18 holes.

How do I complete a scorecard?

We have examples of two completed scorecards to help you mark your cards.

Can ladies join ?

Our female colleagues are entirely welcome to join the society on an equal basis.  Specific arrangements (such as a Lady Captain) would be determined by the number of female members.

How do I take part in an event if I haven't already indicated my interest.

Contact the Captain of the day who will organise the event and can answer all of your questions. The Captain of the Day is listed on the fixtures page.
