Each hosting club will run an 18-hole stroke play competition for golfers up to 28 handicap as well as a nine- or 10-hole competition for those golfers with handicaps of 29 and over.

Prizes for each event will be presented on the day, with Order of Merit points awarded each time a golfer takes part.

At the end of the season each player's five best Merit point scores will be aggregated to calculate the overall winner; the total prize fund will be in excess of £1,000.

Entry fee for each event is £9, or £6 for non-CONGU entrants, and includes the cost of a light meal.
