Golf Kinross
Kinross Golf Courses is proud to launch its Thumbs Up Thursday Golf Series in association with Loch Leven Brewery and Loch Leven Distillery.
Entry is only £20 per round and you can play on any/every Thursday from 4th April to 26th September 2019 and there will be cash prizes each Thursday with the prize pool dependent on the number of competition entries that day.
Played over both the Montgomery and the Bruce courses - on alternate courses each week - with a total of 6 scores to count - your best 3 rounds/Stableford scores over each course combined to determine the winners of the Kinross Thumbs Up Thursdays Series. Play on as many Thursdays and submit as many cards as you like in order to improve your best 6 scores.
The Series is open to both men and ladies using official club handicaps but don't worry if you don't have an official handicap because we will use the Modified Peoria System to calculate your handicap and Stableford score.
There will be separate leader boards for men and ladies and, in each case, both with official handicaps and without (i.e 4 different series leader boards).
Every golfer who competes the series with 6 qualifying scores will be invited to join us for the Thumbs Up Thursday Series Finale on Thursday 3rd October with complimentary golf, followed by a prize-giving in the Clubhouse.
