International Bowl
This event is played in three divisions in conjunction with three stroke
rounds in your Club competition, during the months of June and July. An
entry fee is applicable to each participant at Club level, and this allows
the player to return a card on each of the programmed days. The lowest
single nett score in relation to the DSR of the course on the day determines
the winner in each Division. The winner of each Division at Club level
receives an International Bowl Brooch. (Read conditions of Play under
International Bowl Competition.) Copies of scorecards must be provided
when forwarding final details to Golf Queensland.
Proceeds from the International Bowl will be donated to the Qld Golf
Foundation. The Qld Golf Foundation, the fundraising arm of Golf
Queensland, works to increase the number of people playing golf in
Queensland through implementing new programs and initiatives for
children, women and in clubs. The proceeds from the International Bowl will
help the Foundation provide even more opportunity for people in
Queensland to play our great game.
Qld Golf Foundation Brooch
This event is played in 3 divisions over 6 stroke rounds, as arranged by
Clubs. An entry fee is applicable. As the event has a closing date of 11
September 2017, it is advisable to complete this event in the month prior. It
is suggested that this event be played in conjunction with your Club’s
Monthly Medal rounds from March to August. The winner of each division
at Club level receives a Queensland Golf Foundation Brooch, and this is
determined by calculating which player has returned the best three nett
scores over the period. Best nett is determined in relation to the DSR.
(Read Conditions of Play under Qld Golf Foundation Brooch). Scorecards
are now not required as fees have been increased slightly to allow all ties to
be awarded joint winners.
