NSW Vardon Trophy

The NSW Vardon Trophy is open to male amateur golfers who are affiliated with a Golf NSW club. They must hold a current Australian or overseas equivalent handicap of 4.4 and under. The competition runs over the calendar year.

Players are no longer required to register with Golf NSW to participate. Results are automatically added to the Vardon averages table after they participate in their first Vardon event for the year.

Events (see attached calendar) are run by the individual host Clubs. Clubs may apply to host a Vardon event by contacting Golf NSW. Clubs that host a Vardon event must meet the minimum requirements and be approved by Golf NSW.

Selected National Ranking Events are also included on the list of counting events.

The winner of the NSW Vardon Trophy will be the player who has the lowest scoring average for the 12 months period and has played a minimum of 25 rounds.

A player’s worst round is dropped after they have played the required 25 rounds and then with each subsequent five (5) rounds played, one (1) worst round will be dropped accordingly. This will determine their final average for the NSW Vardon Trophy.

PLEASE NOTE: Vardon averages show all registered competitors, regardless of the required amount of rounds for qualification each has played.
