IMPORTANT INFORMATION AND GUIDELINES
                                 FOR EVENTS LISTED IN THIS BOOKLET

Lodgement of Entries & Payment of Fees
Entries will not be accepted at Golf Australia- Queensland for any event unless accompanied by the
applicable entry fee. Payment may be made by cheque or credit card. A form for credit card details can
be found at the back of this booklet. Please photocopy as required and attach to entry forms. Return to

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.) Scorecards are now not required as fees have been increased slightly to allow all ties to be
awarded joint winners.

Proceeds from the International Bowl will assist 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 provide even more opportunity for people in Queensland
to play our great game.

Queensland 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 4 September 2020, 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 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 Queensland Brooch). Scorecards are now not
required as fees have been increased slightly to allow all ties to be awarded joint winners.

Proceeds from the Queensland Brooch will go towards Golf programs in Queensland. This will 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 provide even more
opportunity for people in Queensland to play our great game.

Gertrude McLeod Competition
This event is played at Club level (no entry fee required) over the period 1 March to 31 August. Scores
recorded in STROKE ROUNDS ONLY are eligible. The winner of each division 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.

After scores have been collated and the form returned to Golf Australia- Queensland, a State winner in
each Division is determined. Entries close at Golf Australia- Queensland on 4 September 2020. These
winners are usually announced at the winner’s event held annually for those ladies who have won their
division at Club level. Scorecards are now not required as fees have been increased slightly to allow all
ties to be awarded joint winners.

Gertrude McLeod Winners Event
Please Note:
This is an optional event, and if your Club Division winners wish to play, the Club must complete the
separate entry form, pay the entry fees, and forward to Golf Australia- Queensland BEFORE the closing
date (4 September 2020) for this event.

Only Club Winners are eligible for this event. No substitutions accepted.
