How many open comps do you play in a year.

[AMcC]

So far this year I have played in opens at Ballochmyle, Prestwick St NIcks and today at Kilmarnock Barassie. I have also played Largs and Crail in Golf in Scotland Series events, effectively opens. So only 5 so far with only another four to go.

At Barassie one of my playing partners drove down from Stirling for a 7.20 tee time and was heading back to Stirling to play in his own clubs open comp ! He did say that he often plays 2 in a day and will,play between 50 and 70 this year.

How many for every one else ?

The most i've played in one year is 28. I still try and play at least 1 a week from May to October .
A few years ago I played the Easter Moffat open, my PP was a 72 year old 5 handicapper called Will Smith [ easy to remember ]He was a member at both Gleneagles and Harburn.
He said he sometimes plays two opens a day, and plays up to 50 opens a season.
He scored net a 72 in tough conditions that day at EM , came back from his car and presented me with 6 almost new Prov1s in a egg box .
Said he walks Gleneagles at dusk with his dog and the place is littered with Prov1s . He also told me he had won £750 the previous year in prizes.

50 - 70 is nuts! Was he powdering his nose between holes?!?!

None. I used to play half doz a summer but I just got out of the habit. Got one at Woodhall in a couple of weeks time, and it's the first in too many years. I honestly hadn't realised!

i would roughly say 25-30 each year, love them and it's a way to play a new course at a greatly reduced price.

Do you still come over to ours? It's a decent seniors open that one.

 

[Val]

I'll play 6 this year. The Golf in Scotland series plus Royal Aberdeen.

 

[rickg]

15 qualifying rounds so far this year in opens (mainly MidAm, nit a few Seniors as well).
Another 6 rounds this week (2 each MidAms at Letchworth, Exter and Burnham and Berrow)
2 next week in the EGU Seniors at Tandridge.
I think another 12 rounds for the remainder of the year so in total approx 35 for the year.
