Is the golfshake handicap accepted at the Belfry

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

I feel quite sure that if the week-end break is at The Belfry, that you won't have any trouble getting on the course, Neil.

Neil,
I've never been asked for a handicap when I've played it.

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!!!

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.

Jon,
To 'pull' off that shot you need to be well endowned!!
