Is the golfshake handicap accepted at the Belfry
Neil Hayward Handicap : 14 Location : Posts :	Posted : Thu 17th Jul 2008 15:28 Hi I've booked a weekend golfbreak and we'll be playing the Brabazon at the Belfry. We don't have official handicaps (although we all shoot in the 80s) so I was thinking of getting a Golf Shake handicap certificate. I know the West Course at Wentworth insist on an official club handicap certificate. Is the Brabazon the same? Many thanks Neil

Matt Beahan Handicap : 28 Location : Posts :	Reply : Mon 21st Jul 2008 15:33 The Golfshake handicap certificate is recognised by the majority of UK courses. The Belfry rarely ask but if they do, the Golfshake certificate should be accepted. Matt

Neil Hayward Handicap : 14 Location : Posts :	Reply : Mon 21st Jul 2008 18:25 Thanks everyone. Apparently they ask that everyone plays to a handicap of no more than 24 but there is no need to provide evidence.

Steven Watmore Handicap : 12.4 Location : Posts :	Reply : Tue 22nd Jul 2008 11:53 The Belfry are quite relaxed anddon't enforce handicap requirements . Just don't stuff the 1st tee shot 70 yards in front of 50 people like i did ;0)


John Flood Handicap : 15 Location : Posts :	Reply : Tue 22nd Jul 2008 13:16 Steven, Don't worry about that, when I was there last Thursday I watched a society of 30+ people & only 1 of them managed to hit the fairway from the 1st, the rest were topped, skyed, sliced, airshot & worse knobbed off the tee 2 inches!!! John.


Jon Williams Handicap : 25.9 Location : Posts :	Reply : Tue 22nd Jul 2008 22:28 John Knobbed off the tee is a new term to me. Could you elaborate further. I am surprised you are allowed to do it anywhere let alone the Belfry.

John Flood Handicap : 15 Location : Posts :	Reply : Wed 23rd Jul 2008 09:04 Jon, To 'pull' off that shot you need to be well endowned!!


Steven Watmore Handicap : 12.4 Location : Posts :	Reply : Thu 24th Jul 2008 12:47 Not sure about the well endowed but i did feel a huge Dick when i ballsed up my shot LOL best bit was i went round in about 88 and then did the same tee shot on the PGA course on day 2! Wish i was going back soon it's just fantastic
