Mats and Armistice Day
Mats Mats will be in play from all areas of the course (except bunkers, greens & some tee boxes) starting from Monday 2nd November. Please remember to take a mat with you onto the course. 1st & 2nd Holes The 1st hole is out of action until further notice, due to drainage works. During this time, start your round at the temporary tee box at the top of the 2nd fairway, playing down to the 2nd green Armistice Scramble 2026 Our annual Armistice Day Scramble is taking place on Saturday 7th November, with booking opening 8 days in advance as per medals - book your team in via HowDidIDo. It is being played from the yellow tees, then off mats from all parts of the course (remember to bring your mats). £10 entry per player. Guests are welcome. 3 tee shots, including a par 3, must be taken by each player. See below for the format. Proceeds from the competition go towards the Royal British Legion. We also have poppies for sale at the club with donation cans available. An Act of Remembrance and laying of the wreath will take place at the club's memorial by the main front entrance at approximately 5:00pm on Saturday 7th. Rev Peter Donald has kindly agreed to lead the ceremony again. The golf format will be slightly different: known as a ‘Florida Scramble’, which is designed to speed up the pace of play, as potentially 60-70 fewer shots are being played. It’s like a Texas Scramble, except for one difference: after the tee shot, whoever’s shot is chosen does not play the next shot - only the playing partners play. This rule then applies to each subsequent shot until the hole is completed. Explanations are often more complex than the actual thing, so here’s an illustration: • All 4 Players A, B, C & D tee off. • Player A’s shot position is chosen & marked – Player A must not play the next shot. Only Players B, C & D play from that position, using their own ball. • Then Player B’s shot position is chosen – Player B must not play the next shot. Only players A, C & D play... etc. including on the greens, until the hole is completed. On the greens, please remember not to ‘tap in’ your own near-miss putt – another player must take the subsequent shot in this format, using their own ball. Mark the position of your ball.
