Golf Random Irritations

More courses within 30 miles of your front door than most of the uk Must be able to find something.

Been having a deeper dive tonight. You’d think it’d be easy as there are so many courses within 30-40 mins of home however Hampshire all but one (which isn’t that great a venue) is pairs, seniors or ladies only. Surrey is basically the same with the exception of the Surrey tour events but they’re overpriced for what they’re offering. However the Berkshire suggestion has come up trumps some nice courses offering really good rates for both 18 & 36 hole events so will look at my work schedule and hopefully plan 3 or 4 in over the summer months.

Strange how regional these Open formats are.

Around here most clubs have a Men’s Infuvidual Open, quite a few clubs have a scratch 36 Men’s Open in addition. They all have the usual 4BB, mixed, seniors juniors etc. as well.

There seems to be an increase in mixed pairs as well in an odd format of the men playing a betterball and the women playing one as well and the two scores aggregated, sort of playing together and separately at the same time.

Our mixed Open is the same format, Best Man + Best Lady each hole in Stableford format for 2 Men and 2 Lady Teams of 4.
