Eden Tournament - St. Andrews - August 2020

[Radbourne2010]

Anyone else entering this year? https://www.standrews.com/play/tournaments/eden-tournament

Any tips on getting the entry completed quickly on a Friday?

Its a good price but an expensive place to try and find accommodation and eat.

Eden is probably my least favourite course I've played at St Andrews (so far) I've not played the New or Strathtyrum yet right enough but I think the Strathtyrum is thought of as a "beginners" course. Jubilee is tough as old boots. You'll enjoy it.

I am sitting waiting for the Strathtyrum registration to open at 1pm, missed it last year after going the previous 3.

Having just done my entry, I would say make sure the cursor is in the right place before typing, i had to go back a few times because mine wasnt, it will probably have cost me automatic entry and I will be sweating on the handicap limit for the ballot.

Entered the Ballot using Google Chrome. Luckily it remembered all my entered details from last year's fiasco so all I had to do was type M & it all appeared completed. Had to enter my CDH No. then press Enter. Think it took 7 seconds. Fingers crossed. Don't think my handicap is low enough to get in on the Ballot.

wow, nice one, it always said that the entry form didn't support autofill, must have changed although I use Chrome and it didn't remember mine.

You don't need to enter your CDH number, you can skip that and go back later. Unless they have changed it since I last went in 2016 of course.

What's your handicap ?

The ballot was 1.3 I think last year but that was due to it being the centenary year so had an exceptionally low handicap entry.

As expected I didn't make the first 40 so am in the ballot, currently number 50 out of 62 available spaces, there will be more entries so its touch and go.

Well done you!!!

There were 12 behind me in the ballot, there is now just 1, not looking good now.

I have got a place now, sadly I don't hold out much hope for it being played though.

That's great news Louise I'm still crossing everything this will go ahead as planned.

That would be a harsh one Mark, 1st time getting in after 5 attempts then they cancel the comp for this year

Lets hope they can both go ahead as planned although the tourists that were on the start sheet might not be able to play.

I thought the same a week or two back. However, in light of the awful situation we find ourselves in now golf does seem a distant distraction. That said, I have noticed several names from overseas being withdrawn from the list.

Fingers crossed we can get back to some kind of normality by the middle of summer.

How are things for Pros & club workers such as yourself?

Stay safe
