THE ALG BIRDIE TREE RULES

Overview
Open to all lady golfers with a CONGU handicap.

The competition will run for six months at a time with overall prizes as well as monthly prizes.

There will also be surprise prizes, so even if you don't get many birdies it is still worth submitting your cards.

Points awarded for each birdie will be 10% of the player's exact handicap on the day multiplied by the value of the hole.

Holes are allocated values based on their Stroke Index starting with 1 for SI 18, 1.1 for SI 17 and so on up to 2.7 for SI 1.

For example: a lady with a handicap of 35.2 achieving a birdie on a stroke index 10 hole will be given 3.52x1.8=6.34 points for her birdie on that hole.

A lady with a handicap of 10.8 will be given 1.08x1.8=1.944 points for a birdie on the same hole.
