Dorset Golf Captains - Customs and Practices
Team Fixtures Fixtures are arranged for members with other County Golf Captains, the Dorset ex Lady Captains, the County Juniors team and the Wessex Regional Club Secretaries. These are arranged by the Hon Secretary, and, at the beginning of each year, members are circulated a Fixture List and Match Request Form to nominate which fixtures they wish to play, indicating priority. A process is then used to allocate matches against other counties. As of 2023 some county competition teams are chosen by the Captain. Sanctions will be applied as appropriate if members fail to inform the Captain in a timely manner (i.e two weeks prior to fixture) if they are unable to play or be a reserve. Annual Events In addition to the team fixtures a number of events are organised including the Spring Meeting and Presidents Day, the Four Counties match, the Colin Chataway Trophy for Juniors, Dorset Ex Lady Captains Mixed Greensomes and the Autumn Meeting and Captains Day. Added to our calendar in celebration of our 50th Anniversary year, 2021, were a Team Event and the President's 9-hole Challenge. All members are invited to participate in these events though sometimes the numbers are limited so early applicants are given priority. Clothing The wearing of Dorset Captains clothing is mandatory for the team fixtures
and strongly encouraged for all events. Communication Electronic communication with members is now established via a mailbox and WhatsApp. Our website https://dorsetgolfcaptains.org.uk contains lots of information such as Fixtures and Events, team list and results etc. |
