Congrats and enjoy! That is an insane amount of golf. Curious what the handicaps are for a trip like that. We do a semi annual 16 man team/individual tournament, but I feel like our handicap range is too wide for that many rounds.

6-18

We handicap every scorecard before we leave

That will be a most excellent trip. My favorite golf course in the rota (that I've played) is Birkdale.

Who/how did you book this?

My brother and I booked it but i wouldn't recommend booking it yourself unless you have gone on a few big trips to UK. Balancing transportation, lodging, and tee time availability isn't fun

For instance, Royal Birkdake only allows play on like Mondays and Wednesdays if I remember right.

Played Hillside yesterday in Southport (where Fleetwood is From)

Pretty difficult course. Lots of rain recently so the rough was super thick. The fairways are narrow and first cut of rough is only about 7 feet wide. So any fairway missed by more than 7 feet was in the deep stuff. Played in a 2 club wind as well.

Agree, great pics. We played in England last year, but only overlapped with OP on Formby, Liverpool and Lytham & St. Annes.

I liked all three of those, though there are a couple of "new" holes at Formby that don't really fit.

We stayed in Southport for that portion of our trip. Guiness for breakfast at the Southport Coaster was a daily staple.

anyone hit it OB on 18?
Aggie369
How long do you want to ignore this user?
AG
No OB!

They changed the routing back to how the members had it before so the holes are slightly different.

Team match play is done and we did the seeding for individual match play last night. Our first round was today...so we are playing 2nd round tomorrow at Lytham St Annes Old Course and Thursday we have 36 hole final match at Royal Lytham St. Annes (british open venue) for the cup!
