Opens 2022

[Wildboy370]

Me and my mate are looking at doing at least one a month But I think we need to pull our fingers out and actually get them booked.

So far we've got one at Stockport in July and we're looking at entering the Rotary Open at Silloth in July. Fingers will be on the trigger on Monday when booking for that goes live.

Does anyone else have any recommendations for the NW, preferably weekends or Fridays?

Take a look at Greengolf events, they cover a lot of north west courses on thur, fri and Sundays. Great courses, great value and a great bunch of blokes.

I’ve entered the Southport Coast Links Championship in August. A 5 day Amateur stableford Mens Championship. The 6 Venues are Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club, Hesketh Golf Club, West Lancashire Golf Club, Hillside Golf Club (Mon - Thur) with the Grand Final on Friday at Royal Birkdale for the top 12 qualifiers and Formby Ladies Club for everyone else ?

A few of us have also entered an open at West Lancs in April. Then in June an open at Pleasington on the Sunday, followed by an open at Royal Liverpool on the Monday ?

We are also planning to play the Rotary open at Silloth.

I've seen that southport links championship advertised and it looks absolutely incredible. If you don't mind me asking, how far in advance did you have to book onto it? Probably not one for this year but its definitely something I want to do in the future!

I actually ended up on their website earlier during my search, looks like a great setup. Bolton Old Links is a course I've always fancied playing so will probably try and get on that if possible.

No probs at all, it does look incredible I agree, really looking forward to it.

I entered as soon as it opened, which was just after the 2021 event finished in August. I’m led to believe it sells out with a reserve list so defo worth getting on it quickly to guarantee a space. Project Birkdale is my main goal for next year, to qualify for the final ??‍

Have a look on the Maxitoursgolf.com Tim has a few on a Friday.
Very well run tour.
Was free to join not sure now but Tim will fill you in .
Mostly NW based clubs really good value.

If we weren't the host County I'd probably not go either as can get very hard an d bouncy in the summer.
Yup will be going down to Gog Magog for the Pairs, 8 of us will do an overnighter with practice round day before.
Do you play any games for the County?

I'm afraid I'm not good enough for county golf, though I did get a couple of friendly games a few years ago.

Booked the Moray Open again. Enjoyed myself so much last year thought I'd give it a go again this year, and perhaps if there are fewer Covid restrictions then a few more of the "social" events around the comp might be held.

Agree with Maxitours. It's extremely well run and played across very nice courses. For circa 25 quid a man (course dependant) it's a bargain.

I'm off to Portugal next week with his overseas trip. Hoping for some ?

Booked Sherwood Forest individual seniors. Were only three slots left when booked on the day it went live. Played there a couple of years ago and its a cracking course.

What time did you go for?

11am. Gives us time to get up from the Fylde coast without rushing or setting off at silly o'clock.

Absolutely buzzing for it already.
