New Saturday GC Advantage Competition 2026
Only those who have played more than three games are entered into the monthly competition. But all results will be carried forward and count towards the season-long competition and trophy.
The winner for March is Suzanne Milan with a fantastic 83.3% win rate. Ian Perry takes second place, just ahead of Sue Bathmaker by virtue of a marginally higher ratio of own target achieved vs opponents target achieved.
Congratulations to all those who have taken part. I look forward to seeing April’s results.

Completing the Handicap card
This is information from the Croquet England website. Further details can be found there
The information below should be passed on to all new players as a guide on how to complete their handicap card:
Front of Card This area is for noting changes to your handicap and for auditing purposes. When your handicap changes, note it here and get your Club/Federation/National Handicapper to check and sign your card as soon as possible.
Your card should always be showing a recent (certainly within 6 months) signature of a handicapper, even if your handicap has not changed in that time.
One of the duties of a club Handicapper is to 'audit' (and sign) all cards annually, and this is usually undertaken during the winter months.
Inside of Card See the posters showing how to fill out your handicap card (AC) or (GC) as well as the further detail below.
Date The date of the game.
Opponent Name Always enter the opponent's full name. You may know who "Dicky" is because he is a club mate but it is rather meaningless to others who may look at your card.
Opponent Hcp Always enter your opponent's handicap here. A good reason for completing your card immediately after the game is that your opponent may not be around to tell you their handicap at a later time.
Game H/L For AC, enter H or L in this column to signify whether the game was played to handicap or level play Laws.
For GC, enter HA, HE or L in this column to signify whether the game was played to handicap (Advantage GC or Extra Stroke GC) or level play Rules.
Game Score Enter the game score here, with your score first.
For GC, 7-4 if you win, 4-7 if you lose.
For AC, +6 if you win, -6 if you lose. Put the full score, e.g., 21-18, if the game finished on time.
W or L is not an acceptable entry.
For a GC Advantage timed game, circle the winning score.
Index +/- This must be a figure with a plus or minus sign.
For handicap play, it will always be +10 or -10.
For Level play, look up the +/- values on the points exchange table on the back of the handicap card (Table 2 on the Handicapping web page), and enter that number (again with a +/- sign).
Index New This is the sum of your previous index plus or minus the column immediately to the left
.General It helps to use a spare line on the card to record, for example, "league match vs. Norwich", or "C-Level (7+) Series tournament", to identify a group of entries. Cards should not be changed at the end of each season if there is sufficient space available to continue. When your card is full, carry forward your index score to your new card and always get the new card signed by a Handicapper. (It is good practice to carry your previous card with you as a historical reference).
It would be very useful to Handicappers when checking your card if you would please make a notation (in the margin) at the point any handicap changes occur.
