DON’T FORGET THIS MEETING IS ON THURSDAY

Situated in the South Downs National Park, an area of outstanding beauty, the Golf Course offers stunning views across the Sussex Weald and is a haven for wildlife. James Braid, the iconic golf architect, helped shape the course which was originally sculptured in 1894. Since that time, more land has been obtained providing additional length and opportunities to redesign the layout of the course. Now, with the course measuring 6278 yards off the White tees, 5955 yards off the Yellow and 5559 yards off the Red tees, it is a good test of golf for all levels of ability. Undulating fairways, smallish greens and challenging dog legs, give ample opportunity to play most types of shots and to use most clubs in the bag.

We have a field of 18 players – not ideal – we really needed one or two more so we could have 8 pairs competing.

Competitions

The Mad March Jugs competition is a pairs Stableford competition played with a yellow ball counting double.  The yellow ball is alternated between players on each hole with the “owner” able to score double points with it.  

For the pairs competition the combined stableford score on each hole will count.  NB: Player 1 has been nominated to have the yellow ball on the first hole scores 1 stableford point (the ball is not lost) so that players score doubles to 2 points.  Their partner plays a blinder and gets 3 points with their normal chosen ball, so just their single score counts on that hole.  The team score would be 5 points on that hole. I hope that is clear if not ask!!
