Update to Grades
Published on 10th April 2026Following feedback from members, we advise that the previously published changes to grades for mixed competitions will revert back to the historic grades applied in prior years, effective from Saturday 11th April.
As part of our new season preparation, a study was undertaken on members handicaps relative to the total playing membership, recognising we aim for an even distribution of members across the three grades, it became apparent, based on the data, that our demarcations were not reflective of playing members, hence a change was implemented.
Ongoing analysis of competitions played (particularly on a Saturday), indicates that while our total membership should be separated into grades according to this methodology, our regular graded Saturday competition playing field is not reflective of the grades split applied.
While we investigate alterative methodologies for reviewing and potentially adjusting grades as necessary, we will revert to the previous demarcations, as outlined below:
- A Grade: Up to 12
- B Grade: 13 – 18
- C Grade: 19 and above
We thank members for their feedback.
