Net medal
Every stroke counts, 95% of your course handicap comes off the total, and the lowest net score wins. The club medal, on a trip.

How it’s scored
- Gross strokes on every hole, added up.
- Your playing handicap is 95% of your course handicap, rounded to the nearest shot; it comes off the total.
- Lowest net wins. A pick-up is a no return: the card has no score, and sits under the finished ones.
- Your stableford and birdies still run off the same round at the full handicap.

The fine print
Why 95% and not the full handicap?
In stroke play the higher handicaps gain the most from a good day, and the handicap system takes 5% off to even that out. Type 100 if your group would rather not.
What if I pick up?
That is a no return, as in a club medal. Your card has no net score and is listed under the finished ones; your stableford still counts, with nought for that hole.
How is the net worked on a card still out?
Hole by hole, the shots you get there taken off, so the board can say “two under net, thru 12” before the card is in.
Is it the same as Lowest gross?
The same card with the handicap taken off. Both boards can run on one day if you play two rounds; each reads only its own rounds.
