Lilliput Golf Club

History of the WNAO

Launched in 2008 this stableford tournament has been hosted at many venues and in 2025 looks set for Broadstone Golf Club.
Initially a single champion, but over the years, additional side competitions have been added to ensure ALL players have a realistic chance of winning a trophy, even if the most coveted blue jacket may be out of reach.

The Competition

Stableford format using WHS or other recognised/negotiated handicap

Honours Boards

Where the winners can point to their victories (and misdemeanors)

The Trophies

No expense spared (quite literally) for these babies. Subject to return if you are unsuccesful in your defence

Competitions and the rules

Although the stableford competition and nearest the pin are fairly obvious to adjudicate, many of the other trophies have finer points and nuances to ensure we all 'score' to the same standards

The winner on Stableford Points

Nothing too rocket science here, it is the winner with the most stableford points based on their WHS Handicap and Course Index. If they do not have an official handicap one can be arranged by negotiation with Mister G up to a maximum of 28 (for men).

Nearest the pin

Needs to be on the green and judged to be closer than any previous shots to the (right) hole

Longest Drive

A risk and reward hole. Drive it further than your fellow competitiors but it must remain on the fairway

Everyone has a chance

The following trophies are easily achievable by any standard of player

The Biggest Deviation from Course

The commando trophy is awarded to the most trying of particpants. One who may explore the course more than any other, but gets the smallest (points) return for their efforts

Dig for Victory

This is won by the player that takes the most shots in a bunker. This would ALSO include any shots into a bunker that is designated GUR. A free drop will permitted as per normal rules but for the purposes of this side competition it is another to chalk down

Jacques Cousteau

The most balls that enter a water hazard/ditch. This includes any shots that remain playable (or dry) but have traversed the hazard line indicated by stakes

The Winners

...and the Triers
