We all pay the £4 entry fee and then there are optional 2 balls and sweep. Wouldn't want those to be taken out as a default.

£4 and £1 for the twos. Bottom line a lot of members are not happy. It went up last year to £5 having been £4 for years. For a lot of members it was the straw that broke the camels back. If you win, the winnings are in vouchers for the shop only. This has bogged off a lot of members. There’s is a fair few folk walking around with vouchers in there pockets coz they have everything they want. They end up buying stuff just because the vouchers have a 6 month shelf life. It’s £5 for a nine hole comp. Folk think it’s not vfm. They would sooner spend the brass in the 19th. The club shop is privately owned. As daft as it seems it just won club shop of the year.
last Thursday there were 2 in the mens comp and 2 in the women. there was 15 in out fiddle paying £7 for a three man team.
£15 front nine.
£15 back nine.
£15 overall.
£15 for nearest the pin.
Shared between 3 lads do the maths.

Competition fees are £4 + optional £1 2s sweep for most weekend comps (monthly medals are £5 + £1); entries are consistent at around 150-170 each weekend. There is a 20% rake into the "competition fund", which finances competition management (software, stationary, etc.), team entry fees (for leagues and county comps), trophies and honours boards, board/trophy winners invite to presentation day/evening, etc.

The problem with not playing in comps (was) that you had to to keep your H/C "active". I don't think this applies now. At a fiver per comp I'd only be playing in a few. I don't know what the lads pay for the weekend comp but the seniors comps are £2. You gotta laugh the the ones with the biggest disposable income (usually), pay the least. They have their own section and run it for the benefit of themselves. They hog all the morning t times on a Tuesday and a Thursday up to 11.30am. Thank God I'm one of them. It's the reason I've stayed here. But if I wasn't I'd be gone like a shot.

Maybe, but if you don't drink in pubs anymore, and lets face it, who does and their prices and that's why there are so many closing we've lost ten within a ten minute walk of our house in the last x years, draws breath......then £4 is a lot.

Sorry to dig this up again..... however we are at 28% to cover all of these above + food costs for the Club teams.... Net, Scratch, Seniors, Rabbits & Mid-Handicap.
Just wondering if anyone is similar?

We’re 25% but this covers just admin, trophy engraving, boards updating and scratch representative teams (men’s women and junior) not ‘fun’ or friendly teams.

Our fees are £4.50p this includes twos and £1 into a course developed fund which we have had going for a couple of years now.

We don't cover food costs from the competition fund. Players pay match fees for that - commonly between £5 and £15 - it varies depending on team and what food is required.
