A3 Winter League

The aim of this relatively new competition is to provide competitive but enjoyable golf during the winter season for clubs lucky enough to be close to the A3.

Teams are formed of five pairs, and the format is Greensomes, with each club putting forward their team of 5 pairs for every match. Selected team players must be 55 or older, with an official handicap and be a member of the club they are playing for. There is a requirement of a minimum of six drives per player, with a scoring points system of one point per hole, so 18 points per team, or 90 points per match.

There are 5 clubs involved, Chichester, Old Thorns, Hurtmore, Milford and Pyrford Lakes. All the fixtures are visible on HowDidiDo and anyone who is interested in playing should have a look at the match dates and register themselves for all the matches they can play.

Match day refreshments are either Coffee and breakfast pre-match, or coffee on arrival with sandwiches and chips after the match. Cost approx £12 per head.

The format has proved to be very enjoyable to all who have played as every hole matters whether you are winning or losing, every point counts.

As we are the most southerly of all the teams, car sharing is encouraged to keep costs down.
