The Founders Peace Cup is the Club’s founder members Gentlemen’s singles knockout matchplay trophy. Initially Gentlemen members qualify for a 16 man knockout draw in one of the clubs medal rounds early in the playing season, with the best 16 nett scores to qualify. The knockout competition is then played over 18 holes matchplay throughout the season, culminating with a 36 hole matchplay final. Handicap allowance is the full difference between the two players. If any match is tied after 18 or 36 holes, a sudden death play-off, starting at the first hole, will decide the winner. Matches are played from the white tee markers.
