2021 Sunday Driver - Sunday 10th & Monday 11th October 2021
(postponed from 28th/29th March 2021)
Mark Wray is organising this event.
Overview
The introduction of a 'season opener' event was originally planned for early 2020 - but was postponed twice due to Covid-19. It is now the 'season closure' event for 2021.
The price is £109 (£139 for a single room) to include a round of golf on Sunday and another on Monday (on the 27-hole course) and dinner, bed and breakfast at the Doubletree by Hilton Forest Pines Spa and Golf Resort.
Please arrive at the hotel by 11:45am for lunch and introductions prior to the first tee time of 1:12pm.
Dinner will be at 8pm.
Single rooms: Lance, Paul, Brendan & Alister.
Twin rooms: Mark W & Peter, Trevor & Tony, Maurice & Brian, Keith & Kevin, Ken & Mark B, Alistair & Linden, Rob & Mike R, Martin & Darren, Simon & Mike W, Richard & Barry.
Golf Format
There will be two individual Stableford competitions played off 95% of Course Handicap on Sunday and Monday, and a combined individual trip competition using the 2-round Stableford scores.
The team trip competition will be played over the 2 rounds, with the best 5 Stableford scores of the 6 players in each team for each round counting towards the overall team score.
There will be no handicap adjustments between the 2 rounds.
Teams for the Trip
The original 24 players were selected to be in an allocated team and also into two pre-defined orders of play at the draw by Keith Nicholson way back on the 25th February 2020.
