Surrey 5's - what's it all about

[Oddsocks]

My club has asked me to play for them in the Surrey 5's. I can't seem to find anything online so wondered if any one could shed some light on the topic

Take a look at the Surrey Golf Website

Basically it is a knockout comp.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Two handicappers 5-12 and three with handicaps 13-18. It is a straight knockout event. I represented Wimbledon Common a few times and it a fairly full on affair with very little banter between players 9at least in the ones I played). Its quite a prestigious event as far as it goes in the local area and so I'd consider it an honour to be asked. Some nice courses in there too so look at the draw and see who you've got and where you'd play in the next round

 

[Oddsocks]

Homer is it a stroke play or match play format, I'm quite chuffed to be asked

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I think it's a matchplay - singles format and if it is all square after 18 you play on sudden death until you get a winner.

 

[Oddsocks]

Cheers homer. I'm currently considering a club change so have to seriously consider this option before accepting but being asked to represent your club is always nice

Bucks,Berks and Oxon (BBO) Union has one called the Hillman Trophy. PLayed some good courses as all the big clubs enter.
Similar format I guess, Singles Matchplay, although we had 3 low and 4 higher handicappers.

What clubs are you considering OS?

I know most in the area and may be able to give a bit of input

 

[Oddsocks]

Bit random post as this thread is 7.5 years old. Oddsocks is getting his pension and still hitting a girlie fade

All good. Golf never really progressed. Enjoy it when I play and don’t miss it when I don’t. As with us all life gets in the way and continues to throw curve balls. Hope you make a meet next year

 

[Oddsocks]

I’ll send you a PM

Really good comp. Match play with no halves. There are some cracking courses that enter it so fingers crossed for a nice away tie somewhere. You’ll normally get a courtesy from what I hear too! Play well.
