What is a Roll Up?

[2004Champ]

I've been playing golf for 22 years, seen them mentioned on this forum, and don't have a clue what one is.

Is it an English thing?

I'm the same with "bounce game" - only ever come across it on this forum - and I've been playing for 56 years.

everyone "rolls up" at a certain time and then pairs are drawn, great way to play with people you dont normally play with.

Got ye!

That explains why if I nip up for a quick 9 in the morning on a day off I see the same old Coffin Dodgers hanging around the Pro Shop about 11 in the morning.They must be playing in a Roll Up! Phew, I thought it was some sort of Masonic ritual.

+1, I worked out what it was but never heard of it ever in Scotland.......

bounce game though is very common, basically anything not a medal

Amen to that!

Bounce game is a common phrase.

I was right, it is an English thing, just like Morris Dancing and afternoon tea!

there are definately regional variations on the title around here its called a 'hat' but at the end of the day its the same thing

Where I play the ladies play them quite a bit, although with the size of them it looks more like its something they eat!!

It is a formal competition where they can just "roll up" and play on the day, at any time, with who they like without pre entering and having a start time.

Ours are called "sweeps", just don't ask me to explain where that came from ??

Had a roll-up at my last club - called the Teapot - a couple of quid thrown in a purple Teapot, names drawn, out you go, 3 prizes att he end.

We have a number of roll ups at our club we are even going away in a early roll up vs late roll up ryder cup competition, 3 days of golf 52 people and lots of drink its going to get messy

its a great way to get to know new people and become part of the club a bit more. good fun
