Nov 08- Revised Definition of a Member
'A Member is an amateur golfer who is eligible to compete throughout the year in all Qualifying Competitions arranged by his Affiliated Club subject only to exclusion by virtue of one or more of the following:
- Restrictions imposed relating solely to the handicap of the players who may compete; or
- Restrictions imposed relating solely to the age or gender of the players who may compete; or
- Restrictions arising from category of club membership.
Notwithstanding the above, a Member must have the opportunity to compete in a reasonable number of Qualifying Competitions at his home club in a calendar year.
