SOLHEIM CUP COMPETITION
SATURDAY 31st AUGUST 2024
Many members still talk about the great fun we had in our Ryder Cup 2024 at HGC. We aim to repeat the event this year, with the only change being to the name of the day, to celebrate the Solheim Cup 2024 being held in September in the USA.

Another fantastic opportunity to be a part of the excitement and exhilaration of a team golf event with fellow members. There are only spaces for 88 players so if you want to be involved put your name into any slot on BRS soon.

This is a full day event so please be committed to join in and help create a great atmosphere.

A summary of the event:

* A team competition open to all members with a valid handicap
* When BRS is full, Team Captains will do a random draw to allocate players into 2 teams. You will then know whether you are Team USA or Team Europe.
* It will be planned so that you have time to acquire team colours (USA in red/white/navy and Europe in Yellow/Royal blue)
* Team Captains will then put their players into pairs, and put their pairs into a playing order, all done in secret and without the other captains knowing.
* On the morning of August 31st, all players will gather at 9am for coffee & bacon rolls and for the playing orders to be announced in true Solheim/Ryder Cup style.
* 1st match will tee off at 10am and we hope for some ‘1st tee atmosphere’ with all players cheering their team.
* Format will be 4BBB matchplay with each pair trying to win a point for their team. Play will be from yellow and red tees.
* Refreshments will be available on the 11th tee.
* Players who have finished or not started their match can go out on to the course to cheer on their team and non-playing members are also welcome.
* As soon as the last match has concluded, the winning team with the most points will be presented with the trophy.
* Entry fee £12 per person, to include coffee, bacon roll, raffle, 11th tee refreshments and a fun-packed day!
* Food will be available for purchase during the day from our caterer Helen.
