Pre-event information and important communications
The Golfbreaks events team will contact you approximately 3 weeks before the event to start gathering the information relevant to the event.
Competitor details will be entered into our live scoring system, which is used for allocating tee times, live scoring on the day and displaying results on the leader board and post-event communications.
Tee times: When you confirm entry into a Golfbreaks event you will be asked to give a tee time preference. Please be aware that although we endeavour to give all entries as close to their preferred time as possible this cannot be guaranteed.
We reserve the right to provide a tee time up to 4 hours on either side of your chosen time and ask that all entrants make provisions for this possibility. Golfbreaks are not liable for refunds on the basis that providing a tee time within these parameters is deemed not suitable for the entrant. Tee sheet subject to change within daylight hours.
Dress code: We will provide details on the event welcome email relating to dress codes at the host venue. If in any doubt, please check the host venue website.
Golfbreaks are committed to fulfilling all amateur event as advertised, however in the unlikely scenario that we are required to make changes due to factors out of our control, we will contact all entrants to notify of these changes made and protect the right of the entrant to a credit or refund should the changes determine that you no longer wish to attend.
Event day
Headline prizes and goodie bags will be as advertised. Prizes can not be exchanged for other Golfbreaks products or cash value.
The stated value of prizes and goodies advertised are based upon the supplier's RRP.
Prize winners are liable for postage & packaging costs on any physical prizes awarded on the day which the eventual winner does not stay to receive after completing the round.
Handicap certificates:
Some golf clubs insist on players having a handicap certificate. Should an event hosting club require a handicap certificate this will be clearly highlighted on the event landing page.
You are permitted to take part in our events without a formal handicap, but each event has two competitions with a dedicated live leader board:
- Official CONGU WHS handicaps – You can find out the detail on acquiring an official WHS handicap HERE.
- Golfshake Handicaps. – You can sign up for a Golfshake handicap at no cost HERE.
Please note that both members of a pair must compete in the same competition. You will be asked to choose which on registration.
Please note that there will be prizes awarded in both competitions, however, the headline prize will be awarded to the winning pair competing in the official CONGU WHS handicap competition.
Please note that WHS Handicap Indexes will be used across all Golfbreaks events. You can find the Index of the event host course HERE.
Prize Verification All prize winners will be contacted no later than 24 hours after the event has closed and will be required to provide a valid form of photo identification (Passport or Drivers License) within the following 24 hours to be verified by the Golfbreaks Events Team. Due to prizes being golf holidays and golf breaks this is standard practice for travel.
If a form of photo identification for both players has not been submitted within 24 hours, the prize winners will be contacted by phone and given a further 24 hours to respond. In the event of the prize winners do not respond to the contact made by the Golfbreaks Events Team they will automatically be disqualified from the event and the prize will be given to the next highest placed pair.
Prize winners will also be asked to provide their full name, golf club, handicap and CDH number to be verified by England Golf.
