The Groups for the Inter Club Competition are lined below along with the dates and fixtures for the group phase matches.
Please not that there will not be a Ladies Competition as the entry did not justify this. Entering teams will be refunded.

The handicap allowance used in the singles is 3/4 of the difference. (i.e. Player A has a handicap of 7 and Player B has a handicap of 8, therefore Player B has 1 shot over 18 holes)
