Surrey Golf Tour

When do we know the tee times Ben? Can we ask for a time or a window. If so I would ideally like around mid-day due to driving back to the Midlands

Hi Fish,

You can request a later tee time, but depending on numbers I couldn't tell you when that would be as yet....

Cheers,

Ben

Later than what? I read it started from 11am, is it a shotgun start then? Or is it dependent on how many entrants you have which dictate the start & finish time.

I wouldn't want it too late as driving back to Coventry so around 12 noon is ideal for me, not a rush getting there and not too late departing .

Hi Fish,

Sorry, I meant you can request a later slot in our tee times - for example, some people request to go in the last group or the first group depending on travelling time/other commitments...

See you in a couple of weeks!

Best wishes,

Ben

I guess that if you wanted to play in any of the top 40 clubs in Surrey, you would probably pay around £75 per event. played in the Norfolk tour last year, and it was great fun. No bandits, a great day with some fantastic prizes.

So how is everyone's game coming on in prep for round one, everything outside 100 yards is petty tidy but sand play and putting needs some effort, that's Sunday afternoon on the short game area booked up : thup:

I'll know by about the 15th hole on the day

Legend, the minute I play my first three of the tee I know it was all a waste

Played really well this weekend. Starting to actually see some of the practice I've been doing over the winter paying off! Will no doubt go to pot next weekend though! Got an indoor session again midweek so am gonna work in long irons as I've been concentrating on 7 and less recently.

Can't make it now, work commitments.... next event hopefully!

Good luck all competing!

 

[Oddsocks]

Good to see things coming to fruit Jim, sybez bit gutted you can't be the mate

Very hit & miss, can't seem to get my head around that I can be birdie putting our lowest index's only to mess up the "so-called" easier holes on the course!

Very wet underfoot in some area's doesn't help and some rough clumpy temp tee boxes also aren't clever when teeing off with a 3w. Still have 6 mats in play as well which I'm not a fan of.

Our greens were spiked with large air holes before the snow came and are still very open and the greens are very soft and bumpy. Some of our temp greens are moved forward which places them right between 2 protective bunkers of the normal green so a much smaller target area. Good practice but very punishing at times.

Hope the Drifts course and conditions are much better than ours currently, but at least I'm swinging a club.

Going on reports, I think you are odds on favourite with the name you've got

Just having a look at the course and starting to get excited. Looks like driving is gonna be crucial but some real 'thinking' holes by the looks of it.

Can't believe it's two weeks away

No practicing while i'm at work! That's cheating!

Went to the club and did 10 holes instead

I still need to go to the range though as a little inconsistent off the tee, I think I was trying too hard due to the strong winds and tried to take the skin off the ball a couple of times! Nobody was about so I was able to reload, just need a little tweak here and there

Hope I get on with the 13* when it comes, it could make an appearance at the Drift :swing:

..... a little inconsistent off the tee, .........

I made Phil M look consistent off the tee both on Sat and today....FIR with anything other than a hybrid was 24% over the two rounds!
