Rules and Regulations

The rules of the game of golf to be played within the society shall be those of the Royal & Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews, unless otherwise stated by the local club rules.


Membership Fees & Bank Details

The annual membership fee for each player for 2025 is £50.

All membership fees and green fees are to be paid into the society bank account as below:

Acc Name: Ubuntu Golf Society

Acc Type: Business

Acc Number: 52910196

Sort Code: 23-05-80

Reference: Your Name

Green fees for each game must be paid at least 1 week prior to the game.

Ubuntu Handicap System

As some members do not have an official club handicap, and in some cases only play golf infrequently without the submission of cards, it is proposed to award ‘Ubuntu Handicaps’ in the following manner. This should give everyone the opportunity to go up, as well as down, according to their playing ability, without recourse to arguments over their respective merits.

Event Registration and Live Scoring (PlayThru)

The society has chosen ‘PlayThru’ as its online platform to register for game events and live event scoring.

Prizes for 2025

The following prizes will be awarded for each event (American Golf Voucher or Similar):

1st Place = £30

2nd Place = £20

3rd Place = £10

Longest Drive = £10

Nearest to Pin = £10

Where we have ‘tied rankings’, the prize value will be added and shared accordingly, for e.g. if we had 2 players with the same points in 2nd place, there will be no 3rd place so the prize values (£20 + £10) will be shared as £15 each.

Captain's Cup

Throughout the season all members will be competing to win the annual ‘Captain’s Cup’ which consists of 9 society events throughout the year. Each events points contributes to the Captain’s Cup.

Captain's Cup Prizes

1st Place = Callaway Elyte Driver (valued at £500)

2nd Place = TBC

3rd Place = TBC

If we have 2 or more players tied in the top 3 places for the Captain’s Cup prizes after the last game, there will be a single hole ‘playoff’.

Most importantly, enjoy the game of golf with your fellow members and have fun!
