Getting Started At Pryors Hayes
The first few months at a new golf club can feel unfamiliar, so Pryors Hayes aims to make the process as simple and welcoming as possible.
Getting a competition handicap
Members who want to play in club competitions need an official competition handicap.
Members joining from another club with an existing handicap are normally eligible for competitions, although some restrictions may apply where a handicap does not have competition status.
Members without an existing club handicap need to submit three completed cards from rounds played from the competition tees, each co-signed by an existing member with a valid handicap.
The club team can explain the process and help new members arrange suitable rounds.
Competitions through the week
Pryors Hayes holds two main club competitions most weeks. Weekend competitions are played on Saturdays, and a midweek competition is usually played on Wednesdays.
The Seniors section also has competitions on Tuesdays, while the Ladies section plays on Thursdays and Saturdays.
Wednesday competitions can normally be played at any time during the day, which helps members who work or can only play later in the day.
The Wednesday competition includes at least one monthly medal. During the year these include four major trophies:
(May - Midweek Hogan Trophy; June - Rosebowl Trophy; July - Midweek Masters; August - Sandfield Trophy).
On other Wednesdays during the competition season, members can usually play in a Stableford competition.
There is a roll-up at around 11.00am most Wednesdays. Members who cannot make that time can contact the Pro Shop, and the team will try to pair them with an existing member or two-ball at a more convenient time.
Members who need help arranging cards for handicap purposes can also contact the Pro Shop for support.
