The TORO Mower Challenge runs for a period of 10 weeks from 1 October through to 9 December 2018.

The challenge will be split into 3 handicap divisions:

• 12 and under
• 12.1 – 24
• 24.1 and over

To be eligible to win

• You must be an affiliated New Zealand Golf member (have a New Zealand Golf Handicap), and must have a membership ID.
• You must complete all fields in the online entry form.
• Employees of TORO NZ (Parkland Products Ltd), New Zealand Golf, and any New Zealand Golf District Association are not eligible to enter.
• You must not have won the TORO Mower Challenge in previous years by having the best stableford score.
• If you get the best adjusted stableford score over all other competitors in your handicap division in the TORO Mower Challenge you are eligible to win. A winner will be drawn at random by TORO NZ. In the situation of a tie, all players on the tied winning score will go in the draw.
• You need to hand in your completed scorecard to the golf club as per usual.
• In order for the score to be counted, you either need to have completed 18 holes, OR have two 9 hole rounds which are combined for handicapping (as a combined score) that were played within the same week – Monday to Sunday.
• Scores are only eligible if they are entered "hole by hole" by the golf club.
• You can join the TORO Mower Challenge in any week that it runs; although the sooner you join the more weeks you will be eligible to win. The last entry that will be accepted to the TORO Mower Challenge will be 9am Sunday 9 December 2018 as this is the last day of the TORO Mower Challenge.
• You do not need to re-enter the TORO Mower Challenge every week, you will remain in the TORO Mower Challenge until its conclusion.

Recording TORO Mower Challenge scores

• Following your round of golf, cards are returned to the club as per usual. It is then the golf club’s responsibility to upload the scores to the National Handicapping System. The best adjusted stableford score per handicap division is automatically determined by the National Handicapping System.
• As this is a national competition, there is a calculation to your stableford score, taking in to consideration both par and course rating, therefore providing an equitable result.
• 
  

  E.g. Benjamin scores 37 points on a par 72 course with a course rating of 69.5. Greg scores 37 points on a par 71 course with a course rating of 71.1 To adjust these scores the following formula is used:
  Stableford score + (course rating minus par)
  Benjamin’s adjusted score becomes:
  37 + (69.5 – 72)
  37 + (-2.5) = 34.5
  Greg’s adjusted score becomes:
  37 + (71.1 – 71)
  37 + (0.1) = 37.1

• In the TORO Mower Challenge, each "week" starts on Monday and concludes on the following Sunday. Cards must be entered by Wednesday morning at 12pm following the week that the round was played. For example, the first card entry deadline will be on Wednesday 3 October at 12pm – after week 1 of the TORO Mower Challenge has been completed.
• The scorecard needs to be entered by the golf club into the National Handicapping System before the deadline in order to be eligible to win the TORO Mower Challenge. Scorecards entered after the weekly deadlines are not admissible, and are not eligible to win the TORO Mower Challenge.
• Any scorecards not entered by golf clubs by 12pm Wednesday, following the week of play will not be eligible to participate in any week, or the final week the TORO Mower Challenge.
• A record of the best adjusted stableford scores for each week will be displayed on the TORO Mower Challenge website www.toromowerchallenge.co.nz and may also appear online at www.golf.co.nz. The best adjusted stableford scores will be publicly displayed, showing the players' name and club.

Winning the TORO Mower Challenge

• The best adjusted stableford score from each handicap division will be entered in the weekly draw pool. A winner will then be randomly drawn from this pool. In the event that the best adjusted stableford score is tied with any other player(s) in a handicap category in the TORO Mower Challenge, then all tied players will be entered in the weekly pool.
• You can only win a TORO Mower once. If you have won a TORO Mower in the TORO Mower Challenge this year, or any other years, and you win the TORO Mower Challenge again then the player with the next best adjusted stableford score will be declared the winner. If the next best adjusted stableford score is tied between one or more players, then a winner will be drawn at random by TORO NZ.
