Can't wait for the weekend to be here, so wondered what everyone has in prospect golf-wise.

I've got my first-round match in the club scratch matchplay knockout comp.

Really looking forward to this, perhaps more than any other competition in the calendar. For me this is golf at its purest... one on one, no shots, no allowances, just slugging it out shot for shot, then shake hands and a beer afterwards. Can't beat it....

My new golf club are holding a Golf day to celebrate the owners birthday so playing in that. Hopefully meet a few members and hope that my slice has gone from last week or could be quite embarrassing on the first tee.

Looks like great weather for the weekend as well which will nice to play is some sunshine.

Nothing planned. Last but one weekend before my current membership runs out, so I'd like to get out for a game on Sunday afternoon, even just to practice for 9 holes but looking at the diary, there's 3 comps on Sunday! :mad: so I don't know when it will become free. Anyone got any idea what time we're supposed to have light until once the clocks go forward? Might have to leave it until late sunday afternoon

Big weekend for me,

Saturday I am entertaining Full Throttle, Lump and Viscount17 in the Lincolnshire 36 hole challenge. 18 Holes at Stoke Rochford followed by 18 holes at Belton Park. As I can sign them all in I do not think that you can get better value for less than £40 total.

Sunday is the new members team competition at my new club so I get to meet a load of potential playing partner and play in a quick team competition followed by lunch. Really looking forward to that.

Sunday evening I plan to colapse in front of the Tigers v London Irish match.

Playing in an open at Windermere, first time I have played here but have been told the views are excellent. Really hoping the weather lives up to the forecast.

Yea, that was my thoughts, roughly. If I tee off at 4-5pm I should easily get in 12 or 13 holes and worst case, if the main course is busy, I could jump on the par 3 course to practice my short game.

Playing on Sunday morning in the fourth round of the Gifford Winter Greensomes, with three best scores from five rounds counting. Neillbro and I are top of the leaderboard by 5 points, with a 39, 37 and 40, so hoping to keep our nerves and at least better the 37 we scored. :whistle:

Playing Saturday as a social knock, and then on sunday I have been called up to the club trial match for a county-wide inter-club tournament. Hoping to lay claim to a spot

Commitments this weekend and off to Japan next week. No golf for me for 4 weeks now........unless I can sneak a round in whilst I'm in Japan.

To be honest, might not be the worst thing, having just played two of my worst rounds ever in the last 7 days. A break may do me good.
