Turkey Competition Rules 2024

Posted on 4 Oct '24 by Dave Hayden II

1. The entry fee is €2.50 per player per round.

2. In order to be eligible to win a Turkey Competition, a player must return at least one card in four [4] Turkey Competitions.

3. Players winning a Turkey Competition will receive a temporary reduction in handicap for the duration of the Turkey Competitions, with the exception of the Bonanza when all temporary cuts are waived. The value of the temporary handicap reduction directly relates to combined prize money won during the duration of the Turkey Competitions.
€20 to €29 won, 1 shot reduction.
€30 to €39 won, 2 shot reduction.
€40 to €59 won, 3 shot reduction.
€60 to €69 won, 4 shot reduction.
€70 to €79 won, 5 shot reduction.
€80 to €89 won, 6 shot reduction.
€90 to €109 won, 7 shot reduction.
€110 to €119 won, 8 shot reduction.
€120 or more won, 9 shot reduction.

4. Although results are announced after each weekend's competition, they are not considered final until the Competition Committee confirms them following the final Turkey Competition (Bonanza). This is to account for any changes that may occur if players do not meet the minimum number of cards returned as stated in Rule 2, which in turn may impact on subsequent results (due to retrospective temporary handicap adjustments).

5. In order to be eligible to win any prize in the Bonanza Competition, a player must return at least one card in five [5] Turkey Competitions, the Bonanza does not count towards this total.

6. The Bonanza Competition is played as a 36 Stableford (Nett) competition, but will also include a "non-winners" Turkey, which will be played as an 18 Stableford (Nett) competition.

7. In order to be eligible to win a prize in the "non-winners" competition detailed in rule 7, a player must return at least one card in four [4] Turkey Competitions, the Bonanza does not count towards this total, and must have not won any prize in Turkey Competitions in the current year.
