A diary of events can be found on the Section’s notice board in the locker room. Entry to the competitions and entry fee varies according to the competition format, as does the value of the prize vouchers for the Professional Shop.
Team and Cup competitions are drawn teams or pairs and entry to these is via online booking. You may request an early or late start if your time is constrained. You will be advised of your playing partner(s) and tee time before the event.
Merit Jug Series and Individual Cup competitions are individual qualifying competitions and entry is online or via the Professional’s shop.

Inter-Club Matches
We play approximately 30 matches against other local Norfolk Golf Clubs, mainly on a home and away basis. Any male Senior Member is welcome to make themselves available for selection by putting their name on the list displayed on the notice board. Selection is made on the basis of all wishing to participate having their fair share of games with preference given to those who can play both the home and away fixtures for each club.
he matches are followed by a meal with dress code specified for each occasion. Players are requested to wear white polo shirt (badged shirts are available from the Pro’s shop) and black or navy blue trousers and sweater during the game. The main aim of these matches is for all participants to enjoy the occasion.

In addition to the social functions organised by the Club the Section Committee organise two evening events a year for our partners and ourselves, The Summer event is more informal and the Autumn event a formal sit down meal with entertainment in November. All details of these functions are publicised well in advance by e-mail and on the Section notice board.
