Brian Gripe Trophy

The Brian Gripe trophy 2026 competition will become a Singles Match Play Knockout.

The top 16 gross scorers at the Junior Spring meeting on Sunday 29th March at Bude Golf will be invited to take part in what will form this year's Brian Gripe Summer Knockout competition. The 16, once confirmed as willing to take part, will enter a singles Match Play knockout with a draw to take place before the first round and thereafter once every round is complete.

Should a player not wish to take part his or her spot will be offered to the next best scorer at Mullion.

One player will be drawn at home on each case with the final to take place at a venue to be confirmed. This means a maximum of 4 Match Play fixtures with one round to be played at the latest by the end of May, June, and July respectively.

Cornwall Golf will provide contact details of players involved to those competing in this competition. Thereafter players must arrange matches between themselves.

Traditional Match Play Rules of Golf will apply throughout and Handicap Allowances for matches will be full difference. In general, after handicap allowances have been applied in match play formats, the player with the lowest Playing Handicap plays off zero strokes relative to the other player. The other player receives the difference between their own Playing Handicap and that of the player with the lowest Playing Handicap.
