First Inter-Club Match

[HRC99]

I'd almost forgotten that I'd put my name down for an Inter-Club match and I've been "selected". Rather looking forward to it, as I haven't played any real matchplay in ages.

I'm assuming it's pairs better ball matchplay but I'm not sure about handicaps/allowances etc. Can anyone shed any light?

If it's 4BBB which is likely then you get 3/4 the difference between your handicap and the "low man" (rounding up .5's). If you are the low man you get 'nowt

These tend to be very competitive and can be very pressurised especially if you get a few spectating and your match goes down the last.

It can vary, it depends on the competition. I played my first one just a few weeks ago and it was singles matchplay off scratch. Was brilliant, loved it and can't wait to play again. It nothing like a medal or any other type of competition i have played.

Hope you enjoy it and lets us know how you get on.

Ours is exactly like this, I was the low man but the high handicap was only 2 higher so not too bad

Well, we got soaking wet but it was worth it for the win. My partner and I played out of our socks (off 14 & 18) and we were level par gross when we shook hands on the 13th green.

Great fun and I've put my name down for the next one!

I have a good way of relieving the pressure in these situations on the last...


...make sure you've won before you get there
