Playing solo!!!

Im a big fan of roll ups and think more clubs should do it. Dont get me wrong here I like the fact you can play golf on your tod but lets be honest the game is better played with someone else or other groups. Banter and social interaction is a major part of this game although one could argue the pros dont demostrate nor take part with that on tour , its a major part of the fun aspect for us amateurs.
Speak to your club and I would imagine they can set a roll up up! if they havnt already and if the pro is offish about high handicap players etc then then need to be named and shamed!! Any decent golfer worth his salt wont mind playing with high handicappers ( myself included unless they are a complete bandit !!) providing they have a grasp of the rules and a decent level of social skills and etiquette. Have fun and get involved fella :thup:

Sorry for the newbie daft laddie question, but what exactly is a roll up?

Anyone who fancies a game just 'rolls up' to the club for a certain pre-agreed time. At the appointed time 'entry' to the roll up is closed and playing groups are then usully 'drawn ' at random from those who have rolled-up and entered the 'roll-up'. Few quid in a pot as entry and off you go.

Sounds like fun. I'll ask my club if they offer it

Doesn't sound that much different to the medals at my club except you enter 2 weeks in advance and pick a preferred time slot.

Not usually something the club arranges - usually just a group of guys decide that they all turn up for say 11am - and let it known that anyone can join them. As it happens my club has gathered the times of all roll-ups that happen during the week and distribute this in their regular comms to members so that all members are aware when the roll-ups are. The point of a roll-up is that it is truly open to anyone - so you must NEVER feel awkward about going up to the group and saying you'd like to join.
