On a overcast and cool day, competitors gather at Tuggerah Lakes for the final day of the 2008 World Series.

HISTORY

DATES ANNOUNCED FOR
2010 MATCH PLAY

The stableford qualifying round for The Championship will be played on Sunday, October 24, with the 16 top scorers progressing to November's (7th, 14th and 21st) match play rounds.

With the exception of November 7 (11.00am), all Sundays have a 12.30pm tee time. Players must report to the starter at least 30 minutes prior to tee time.

Tournament entry fee and prize money will be confirmed on qualifying day.

NOTAH KELLY III WINS
WORLD SERIES XXII

Notah Kelly III has become the 4th player to achieve the coveted home and away double with his World Series victory. During the tournament, Kelly and his playing partner, Edwardo Romero, posted a tournament 4BBB record score of 46 points.

Runner-up Kenny Crenshaw played good, consistent golf all week, emphasised by his win and second placing in the individual events.

Grantief Goosen filled 3rd place. His return to form seemingly helped by the temporary passing of his putting yips - to those watching him putt.

2010 WORLD SERIES NAMED
"LOVE THE PRESIDENT" TOUR

The week of golf will be known as the "Love the President" tour in recognition of the instant mass appeal of our new leader, Davidson Love III.  Only weeks after assuming control of the ESG&EC, he has received acceptances from XIX (19) members to play on the Central Coast, a new tournament record.

Approval rating figures supplied by Big Jack Daley, a close advisor to the president, show Love's popularity has reached unprecedented levels, peaking at CXV (115)% in some areas of south-western Sydney.  Mr Daley said, "As much as these figures may surprise some, they have been independently audited by Edwardo Romero, a renown numbers man.  I think some of the club's powerbrokers backed the right trojan horse in the presidential race."

The World Series of Golf is the ESG&EC's premier tournament.  It is played Monday to Friday over 4 rounds - two teams events and two individual events - at various courses on the NSW Central Coast.

The courses for the first 3 days are chosen from Gosford, Wyong, Kooindah Waters, Morisset, Everglades and Toukley.  Friday's final round, Championship Day, is traditionally played at Tuggerah Lakes.  The week away is a demanding test of stamina and guile, both on and off the course.  Four days of walking courses, five afternoons and nights of socialising, gambling and drinking, and on the golf rest day we head to the local gallops at either Gosford or Wyong.

EVENT FORMAT

Foursomes, 4BBB or Ambrose are the choices for the opening days, with Stableford and Stroke the events for the individual days.  Points are awarded according to your finishing position each day – 1 point for first, 2 points for second etc.  At the end of the week, the player with the least number of points is the winner.  The event is generally held early to mid May.

HANDICAPS

All ESG&EC tournaments are played under the Dickworth-Lewis handicapping system.  For the World Series, the maximum individual handicap is 40 and players must play all rounds to receive a handicap benefit for their next World Series event.  A player who does not play all rounds may however, depending on their overall finish, receive a handicap penalty.
