The committee would like all members to have the opportunity to play in a variety of competitions throughout the year.

The schedule of competitions is such that there are competitions each month which should give all members a chance at either getting their names on a club board or simply engaging is a friendly interclub “social” match against local clubs, apart from the normal monthly medals and stableford competitions. We also hold summer and winter singles and doubles knockout competitions which are always keenly contested.

However, we also try and enter club teams into some of the more serious and competitive regional competitions such as the Hillman Trophy, Concorde League,  and the Mail on Sunday National Golf Club Classic. We have a good record of success in these competitions, in particular the Concorde League which we have won on three occasions and been runners-up three times also. We won the Hillman Trophy in 2004 and the Hillman PLate in 2010.

We are always on the lookout for more players to make themselves available for either the serious or the social interclub games. So, if you are interested let any committee member know what takes your interest or, alternatively, keep an eye on the notice boards and enter your name against the competition entry forms as they are posted. There should be something to interest all members of all abilities. For the list of the mens' interclub matches for 2011 and the results see the main home page.

All our competitions are to be found in the Events Calender and if you click on the event you should be able to see either details of the competitions or the results if already held. For details of all the competitions held each year and their formats go to the Committee page and click on the Club Rules link where competitions are listed at the end of the document.

All members are reminded that under the Rules of Golf they are responsible for policing their own handicap, and members should not rely solely on publications on notice boards which are only ‘current’ at the time of printing.

If you want to track your handicap and qualifying competition performance then log in to howdidido. If you don't have an account, it is easy to set one up. You can also check handicaps of colleagues and opponents from other clubs here.




NB. As members will be aware, the current tee booking system prevents members from booking weekend tee times earlier than 8am on the Monday of the preceeding week. However, to better facilitate members wishing to arrange their knockout matches in advance of the date for the round, the committee has agreed that, subject to the following conditions, this rule is relaxed so that the time constraint will no longer apply:
1. The relaxation of the rule only applies to Summer/Winter Knockout competitions. It will not apply to any other game or match.
2. It is also required that before ringing to book a time BOTH PARTIES must have agreed to the date.
