Welcome to the Scratch Super League (SSL) – a golf society and competition format exclusively for Saunton’s elite golfers. Whether you’re a professional or an amateur, man or woman, this is the premier stage for the finest talent at Saunton.
Recent changes to the handicap system have diluted the prestige of competitive golf, making it harder to celebrate truly exceptional play. The SSL is here to restore that recognition. In our league, birdies are celebrated, bogeys are scorned, and only the best golf will earn you the trophy.
Celebrate Great Golf: Birdies are cheered, and bogeys are jeered.
Recognise the Club’s Best: Highlight the top players at Saunton.
Host Scratch Events & Knockouts: Focus on skill without the influence of handicaps.
Minimal Handicap Involvement: Competitions with as few handicap strokes as possible.
100% Prize Fund Payout: All entry fees contribute directly to the prize fund.
Foster Community: Unite low-handicap golfers within the club.
Emphasise Practice: The path to improvement is through practice, not manipulating handicaps.
Expand Competitions: Potential matches against other clubs’ teams & societies.
