We are once again organising our coveted doubles match play tournament this year. The draw for the handicap competitions will be made in early April and the competitions themselves will run from mid-April until approximately the middle of October. Depending on the number of participants, there will be 5 or so rounds in each competition for the successful participants.

The doubles tournament is the UNGC Chapman Match Play.  Like the Singles Championship, the Chapman Foursomes is a match play competition based upon handicap.  It is a fun format where you and your partner play alternate shots with the same ball from the third shot onwards. The 2021 champions were Melody Handler/Roger Berg, with John Meehan/Wolfgang Bestak coming in second. If you want to participate and have a partner, please let us know the name, handicap index and contact details of your partner when you register!  If you do not have a partner, please contact the Match Play Organiser, Goeran Appelgren at goeran.ungc@gmail.com, and he will try to find one for you.

The competition is open to all members of the UNGC. Please register online, by midnight, 3 April 2022. If you are signing up for the doubles, don’t forget to indicate the name of your playing partner (Chapman foursomes) if you know already.  For any queries, feel free to contact the match play organiser. We aim to announce the draw for both competitions early April.

Please note that the same rules about deadlines used last year will be applied again this year, only the rules will be strictly adhered to. For each round, there will be a two-week grace period beyond the deadline of each scheduled match play round. This deadline is to prevent delays in subsequent matches and to ensure the final rounds are played in favourable weather conditions. A committee made up of the Match Play Organiser and UNGC Executive Committee members will determine which (individual or team) will proceed into the next round in the event a scheduled match has not been played before the end of the two-week grace period.  To avoid unnecessary complications and to ensure fairness, please copy goeran.ungc@gmail.comwhen you make your match arrangements!
