Kerry Bayly Order Of Merit Event

The Order of Merit (OOM) competition proved a popular initiative in when introduced in 2019 by then President Kerry Bayly. During 2022, the committee chose to re-badge this event and it is now named the Kerry Bayly Order of Merit.

The OOM is conducted across the monthly events, commencing with our January event and concluding with the November event. OOM Prizes will be distributed at our final event of the year in December.

Each month points will be awarded to all participants; firstly on a sliding scale down to 30th position with 200 points going to the best score on the day and then points allocated, on a sliding scale, down to 11 points for 30th position. The Australian Count-Back system is used to determine placings down to 30th position, all remaining participants receive 10 points.

From 2021 onwards, there will be no additional points for grade winners.
From 2021 the OOM scoring will be automatically generated and the overall scoring will be available in One Golf shortly after each round.
The minimum points that any player in the top 30 will receive is 11.
Members must play at least 6 monthly events to be eligible for the annual prizes with their top 8 points only being counted towards the final OOM results.
Points will only be allocated to financial members of the Hume Veterans Golf Club.

Positions on the OOM table will also be used to select players to represent Hume Vets in the annual VVGA Teams Event in September.

However, Terry was unable to do this, finishing just 19 points behind Kerry in the end.

76 Plus Age Group and Overall - Mario Silvio, Northern, led this category from the beginning of the year and never looked like being caught. Mario finished with 974 points to finish well clear of the second placed James Fernandez with 662.
