BECTIVE CLUB HANDICAPS

The Club Handicaps are open to all members and everyone is encouraged to participate. Handicaps are a really enjoyable competition enabling players of different abilities to play each other and still have a close game. This happens through a points advantage: the weaker player might start some games with points already on the board, and the better player might start some games at ‘minus points’. For example, each game could start at “Plus 30: Minus 30” rather than the usual “Love all” we’re all used to.

There are five separate competitions in the Handicaps: 

  • Men’s Handicap Singles
  • Ladies Handicap Singles
  • Men’s Handicap Doubles
  • Ladies Handicap Doubles
  • Mixed Handicap Doubles

The draws take place in late July with all matches culminating in Finals Day in mid September.

  • Players arrange their own matches.

The Club normally runs several Box events each year.
