Surrey Golf Tour

[rikkitikk]

Just got an email from Golf Empire regarding the Golf Days Surrey Golf Tour for 2013. Did anyone do this last year and if so what is your thoughts about it as I am considering entering one or two?

Cheers

Rich

From the T&C
Handicap certificates are not necessary to play on the Golf Days UK Amateur Tours. The maximum handicap for men is 28 and 36 for women. You must declare your current handicap when entering and this will be your playing handicap for the whole tour. Each event is played off 3/4 of your full handicap allowance. Handicaps will be adjusted by us if a player returns a score of over 36 points. For each point over 36, you will get cut 0.5 strokes off your full handicap for the remainder of the tour. If a player has a club registered CONGU handicap which is cut during the year at a competition outside of the tour it is their responsibility to update Golf Days UK. Golf Days UK reserves the right to investigate handicaps if we deem a players handicap to be unfair and ‘suspect’. If a false handicap is proven to be given then Golf Days UK reserve the right to disqualify the player from the tour.

IMO these are perfect events for a non club member wanting to play some organised competitive golf on reasonable courses

I've enter the midlands event at Hollinwell may do some more but this was a stand out event.

 

[Rich2601]

I was looking at this last night, looks good and I think they discount the price if you enter so many events

 

[rikkitikk]

I am interested in this because i have wanted to have a go at a few open competitions but find that majority you have to be a low handicap player so completely the opposite for me. I have entered the London Scottish golf open as my first one. I think the SGT shall be the next open comps i enter.

A tour that disappointingly misses the top 40 odd clubs in Surrey.

 

[Rich2601]

I can only assume this is done for economic reasons, but then you would've thought most clubs right now would offer a decent entry price so does seem a bit strange

what possible relevance has that to "these are perfect events for a non club member wanting to play some organised competitive golf on reasonable courses" ?

and whilst it's not relevant, no self respecting 'bandit' is going to enter - there's nothing to win!

I got that email last night, and even though i'm in Kent i'm going to to in for a couple so if anyone can recommend some courses to go play at I'll look at those events first.

gatton manor and pyrford, although the drift can play well if conditions are good (feb is obviously chancing it)

What I thought!

Get ya money out and enter the European Amateur Tour (Formerly Volvo Amateur)

Apart from 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizes at each event plus a pair of loudmouth trousers worth £75 for the winner of each event and a set of custom fit irons for the tour winner. You're right though, it is good for non club members but I will be interested to see the winning scores at each event.

This will bring 'em out of the woodwork. Will be interesting to see some of the scores posted.
