The
Men's Order Of Merit runs throughout the main golf
season. Points are allocated for the top places in
competitions and medals - the OOM winner is the
individual who has amassed the most points after the
season-ending Medal and Trophy Winner's Shield. The
leaders in the final OOM also qualify for the First
Class Shoot-Out.

| Size of field |
Apart from medals, it must be
known as reliably as possible before the first tee-off how
many OOM points are at stake. Therefore, the size of field
is determined as the number of entrants who have paid their
entry fee for a competition (this includes any late
withdrawals/no shows). Also included are any competitors who
play but are subsequently DQed for not submitting their
entry fee and/or not signing the competitions book. For mixed singles events, the number of competitors for OOM purposes is the number of male competitors – and only men get OOM points! Medals with two divisions are counted as one field for OOM purposes |
| Other points: |
Anyone DQ'd or NRing will not
receive any OOM points for that event If the entry for either the Linton or Nick Willy Trophies is less that 10, the entire field will be combined for OOM purposes (and play the same format) Count-back is only used for 1st and 2nd places Fractional points are always rounded up |
