GGG - Competitions 2026

We run several events throughout the season - this year, there are 4 Stableford and card-marking competitions, a junior championship and an end-of-season event.sever

Entry and competition payment should be made 'Online'  (use the Online Signup links below).  Entrants for the Pre-handicap Card Marking competitions must email Janice if they wish to compete in a competition - please email the girls' name and their home club, and the name of the event they want to enter to Janice and pay online using the GGG Bank details below.  

Janice's Email:   janicemsaunders1@gmail.com.  

We run a Stableford Order of Merit throughout the season based on entry and performance.

We also have the Jenny May OOM, which includes all Junior Opens across the County (similar to the Jeff Hall OOM run by the GGU).  Girls will also need to have competed in at least 2 of the GGG stablefords to be eligible for prizes, which will be presented at the End of Season Presentation Day on 25th October.  If girls play in Junior Opens, they will be awarded entry/participation points, and girls can also get more points if they are in the top two girl golfers for both the nett and gross scores (if they are the nett and gross winner, they will only get points for the gross score). The Junior Opens are listed below.

Don't hesitate to get in touch with Janice Saunders, CJO, by emailing janicemsaunders1@gmail.com or calling 07770 533238 should you have any queries about any GGG competitions.

Distant Measuring Devices capable of measuring distance are only allowed in accordance with Rule 14.3 in the R&A book.

Our Champion will represent Gloucestershire County at the Champion of Champions, hosted by England Golf at Woodhall Spa in September.

Prizes

There are competitions for the Gross Championship cup, the Nett Championship trophy, and Stableford prizes, so girls of all handicap levels have plenty to play for.

End of season review & Jenny May Day - 25th October 2026 - THORNBURY Golf Club

This is GGG's special end-of-season event for all girl golfers in the county. All girls with or without handicaps are welcome to attend this event. It's always a great, fun event and usually the Junior Captain chooses a theme, so that if girls want to wear fancy dress, they can do so.

The day will start with an 18-hole Florida Scramble, followed by a meal and then the end-of-season report and prize giving.  If there are sufficient numbers of pre-handicappers, we will run a 9-hole scramble or a variation, which may involve golfing parents who will go out to play in the Florida Scramble.  

How to enter

The entry deadline is 17th October 2026.  The entry fee is £12.00 per player, which includes a meal, and should be paid before the closing date.  Girls can enter by clicking HERE or by emailing janicemsaunders1@gmail.com

Pre-handicappers should email janicemsaunders1@gmail.com

The start sheet will be emailed out to entrants the week before the event and posted on the website.

Please email janicemsaunders1@gmail.com before the closing date if you wish to withdraw from the competition so that a refund can be arranged and catering numbers adjusted.  Failure to give notice may mean you have to pay the cost of food, as we have to give final numbers 7 days before the event.
