Competitions & Teams
Competitions
There will be the usual daily Stableford competitions (off 95% of the Course Handicap using the players' starting handicap indexes for the trip).
There will also be Trip competitions over the three rounds for an Individual Competition, a Team Competition and a Virtual Knockout Competition.
In addition, Darren will be organising the usual Sweepstakes for our trip.
Teams for the Trip
This year our trip is in the same week as the Glastonbury Music Festival, so we have chosen the following team names, based on bands that are scheduled to play at Glastonbury 2025:
-
Fatboy Slim
-
Scissor Sisters
-
Wet Leg
-
Kneecap.
Each team will have 6 players (one team will have a Ghost), and in each round their best 4 Stableford scores will count towards the team score.
Teams have been chosen in a blind seeded draw, and players allocated to positions in a pre-determined Order of Play which ensures no two players will play each other more than once in the three rounds.
