St Anne's old links trophy

For those who know better, am i not correct in saying you can enter this off a higher handicap but you must play to the max allowed on the day ie - 9?

Nothing to stop an 11 or 12 hc entering is there :whistle:



You can try I emailed the secretary to ask this and wAs told that you can only enter if you have a 9 h/cap. And even I you do then go up before the day you will be refunded entry as demand far out weighs times available.
 
No idea Val, don't see why not? They check your CDH number when entering but I guess you just play off 9?

You'll be below 9 by next August anyway :whistle:

Hope so mate, I've never played a 36 hole open so quite fancy this. I've dropped the secretary an email, worst they can say is no. Chances are even if i did get in and play off 9 id bet i still wouldnt be last :rofl:

Im not sure either Val. I know they're strict with the Kilgrimol which is 10-18 I think but I'm not sure about this.

Of course you wouldn't be last, I'm playing :rofl:

Says the man who is on fire at the minute :D

there were quite a few no returns from the lower handicaps this year so all you got to do is keep a score and you won't come last.

Anyway that's my crown your trying to nick :whoo:

Entry might suffer this year as its a bank holiday weekend, the kilgrimol has a fair few spaces left this year so I wouldn't be surprised if spaces are made available nearer the closing date.

Ha ha, long way off this, plenty time for me to be back to my usual self :whistle:

Really looking forward to it, never played a 36 hole open before. Think we're the tee time before you 3 off the 10th.

Oh yes your right in front of us :D

I can't believe you've never played in a 36 hole open before? Sorts the lucky 1 round golfers out as they can't get lucky for 2 rounds In 1 day :whistle:
 
I wont make it to 9 but will come for the night out if there is one :D
What a load of rubbish, you will be 9 by April. You can't shoot the numbers you've shot this year and not be single figures.

We'll get front row seats for "lucky Petes" ball missing bunkers inexplicably, rolling onto the green when heading out of bounds etc :whoo:

I'm not even lucky for 1 round so god knows what cricket score I'll run up in this :rofl:
 
If you don't think you'll be down to 9 Birchy, let me know if you fancy the hackers trophy again.
Am due to work but will book it off if we're in.
Night out beforehand sounds good too :cheers::D
 
I would be up for playing in the hackers trophy ( surely i will be off lower than 18 by then) and I am sure r kid would be up for it too.
 
Wes might be playing in the main event if he carries on like he did in Scotland.
Single figure ball striking

You need to see him on bad day! When he gets it right I struggle to keep up though. Hopefully I can be dragged along on his coat tails. :o
