Competitons
For 2012, we have made big changes to the competition golf days and events throughout the year. The Order of Merit runs thoroughout the season, which opens with the 27-hole October BarbBill Bell, hosted at the fantastic Stock Brook Manor GC , with a Full English Breakfast kicking the day off.
Enfield GC hosts our New Year's Eve Masters, where a superb beef stew and dumplings warms the cold bones after 18 holes of often chiilingly good golf.
A match against the WLGS follows; approaching the 5th match, we lead the series 2.5 to 1.5. The inaugaral Captain's Day Cup will be played, hopefully on May 5th, with venue and format to be arranged by your Captain and Vice-Captain. It will be the biggest shock of 2012 if we don't eat well on that day.
Then follows the society's main event - the magnificent Summer Tour, which includes the Barbill Open Championship, a stableford competition played over four arduous rounds, a 36-hole cut competition for the Crystal Ball and the Riley Cup, team match play at it's toughest. The top four in the Order of Merit will then play-off for the title of "Champion Golfer".
WAGS and friends are invited to our annual dinner, to celebrate the season and its victors and to look forward to that which is forthcoming. From 2012, this event will be organised by the immediate past-Captain.

Full Competition History
The results from all our competitions dating all the way back to 2003 can be viewed here.
Order Of Merit
The Order of Merit has been re-vamped for 2012. The season begins with the 2011 BarbBill Bell and ends with the Open Championship.
The Order Of Merit runs for the duration of each season with members scoring points in each competition according to where they are placed. The four members with the lowest number of points at the end of each season year will play as a 4-ball to decide the Society's Champion Golfer.
Points are awarded for the Barbill Bell, Masters and Captain's Cup as follows:
1st - 1, 2nd - 2, 3rd - 3, 4th - 3 and so on increasing by 1 point per place.Non-attendees shall all be deemed to tie for the next available position and be allocated those points.
Points are awarded for the Open Championship, including the Crystal Ball, as follows:
1st - 2, 2nd - 4, 3rd - 6, 4th - 8 and so on increasing by 2 points per place.
In the event of any ties, excluding 1st place, the points available across those positions are shared.
Splitting Ties
Unless otherwise specified, all BBGS competitions will use the count-back system to split ties for all positions. Where players are tied, the player whose score over the last 18 holes will be placed higher. If players are still tied, the player whose score over the last 9, then 6, then 3 holes will be placed higher. If players are still tied, the player whose score on the hole marked stroke index 1 will be placed higher. If players are yet still tied, the Society's committee will convene to decide upon extraordinary measures to split the players. Where a play-off system may be in place in order to determine the winner of certain events, unless otherwise specified, all remaining places will be determined by the aforementioned count-back system.
Distance-measuring devices
In all BBGS competitions a player may obtain distance information by using a device that measures distance using technology such as GPS. However, if, during any round, a player uses a distance measuring device that is designed to gauge or measure other conditions that might affect his play (e.g. gradient, wind-speed, temperature), the player is in breach of Rule 14-3, for which the penalty is disqualification from the competition.
