Golf
The format of the day is Stableford Golf, best two scores counting on each hole. We will be playing at 3/4 handicap (max Men 24 and Ladies 36).
Tee times will be allocated. As a general rule, we allocate the tee off times according to geographical consideration and with the assumption that you will be travelling from your region to The Oxfordshire on 19 October. It would help considerably to let us know if you are going to arrive on Thursday 18 October so we can allocate the earlier tee off times to you to accommodate those who will be travelling on the day.
We will email you your tee times as soon as we've allocated the tee times to all teams.
A special golf rate of £55 per person is available on the 18 and 20 October.
