    2. the tees that are used are entered on the card

    3. They and the marker have both signed the card.

If NOT the player will be DISQUALIFIED from the competition.

Correction to Two's monies for Thursday 1st June 2023

 As Lindsay Mure did not enter the 2's competition the total amount of £13.50 will go to Derek Glen.
