In 2024 we are going to be hosting 3 events:

1. Event 1: Ramsey – Sunday 21st  April (from 11.45am)

2. Event 2:  Ramsey  –  Sunday 30th June – Our Major event (from 12pm)

3. Event 3: Sunday 20th October (details below) https://forms.gle/b9VXoM9cYS715k9T7

 

UPDATE (30th Sep) – this event has been cancelled. Unfortunately we didn’t manage to attract enough numbers.
Next year we are planning to organise one event which I hope will attract greater numbers.

I am delighted to invite you to the second tournament of this year. Unfortunately the summer event was cancelled due to low numbers.

The Society is designed to make the event as enjoyable and as accessible as possible. The cost means that we don’t raise much per person, to raise some charity money we really need to attract a good number of people. The format is something I am tinkering with to make it as fun as possible.

For this tournament I am trying something new – we are going to go with a Matchplay Pairs competition.

There will be two teams represented:

  • ‘Us’ will be made up of players from Wistow/The Three Horseshoes/The charity.
  • ‘Them’ will be anybody who is not listed above.
  • There may need to be some Us/Them definition adjustments

I think this will create a competitive and enjoyable format

My hope is that many of you will be able to sign up as a pair and if possible you can invite friends to play against – you can confirm this via the sign up form. If you can’t please sign up and I will create teams.

Deadline for sign up will be the end of September. Please sign up as soon as you can, it enables me to book the tee times and confirm the matches (at the moment I only have a limited number of spaces). If you are unable to play please let me know and I won’t pester you with follow up emails.

About the Society

The society is based at the Three Horseshoes in Wistow, Huntingdon. The society is a partnership between the TMWF and the pub

We have created a society that provides accessible and social golfing events. The courses have been chosen as they provide just enough challenge for all levels of golf.

The competition element is designed to make each tournament fun – not ultra competitive. We want as many people to join in as possible, being a regular golfer is not a prerequisite.

We have been clear, we want the golf to be about participation and fun, not about raising tens of thousands of pounds.

Golf Society

After each of the events, food and presentations take place at the Three Horseshoes Wistow.

The fee includes: golf, food at the pub and a small donation to TMWF. All of the presentations are at the pub as soon as possible following the completion of each event.

To keep the price as low as possible we have organised the events so that there are no bacon rolls or meals at the golf clubs.

If you are unable to find a partner please sign up and we can pair you up with somebody.
