Date: Saturday, 7th June 2025
Venue: Doncaster Golf Club
The Ladies’ Danum Cup 2025 returns this Saturday at Doncaster Golf Club, promising another exciting contest between the talented ladies’ teams from Doncaster, Wheatley, and Hickleton Golf Clubs. First played in 2008, this annual event has become a highlight of the local golfing calendar.
Each club will be represented by a team of 8 players (plus reserves), drawn from four handicap divisions:
• Plus to 10.4
• 10.5 to 18.4
• 18.5 to 23.4
• 23.5 to 30.4
Two players are selected from each division to ensure balanced representation across the handicap range.
The format is 18-hole stroke play off scratch, played in accordance with the R&A Rules of Golf and WHS. All players will compete in three balls, with one representative from each club per group, playing from medal tees and in handicap order.
Once all scores are recorded, the highest score from each half of the handicap range will be discarded, leaving the best six gross scores to count towards the team total. In the event of a tie, the lowest eliminated scores will be used to break the tie. If still level, the trophy will be shared.
No handicaps will be displayed on the results board, and competitors are reminded that Professional or Assistant Professional caddies are not permitted. Buggies may be used if medically required.
Two additional Best Gross prizes will be awarded – one in the Plus to 18.4 category and one in the 18.5 to 30.4 category.
