A Note from the Captain:

In relation to the use of motorised carts in future competitions - the Match Committee have relaxed the rule that players must have a medical certificate to use carts for competitions such as the Mixed Foursomes Championship.  They are reviewing the rule with regards to the Men's Championship and will issue further advice when a decision has been made.  The Ladies have already relaxed the rule for the Ladies Championships and no medical certificate is required for them.
