Club Friendly Matches
Part of my role as captain is to organise all aspects of the club friendly matches for 2026. I wish to emphasise these are friendly matches although played with a competitive nature….
A chance to represent our club and meet like minded individuals from other clubs. I wish to show others the best of West Berkshire Golf Club, especially our sense of fair play and friendliness.
This year we have 8 home matches and four away. The format is six four ball matches comprising two from each club and played in a match play format.
They are open to all 7 day members.
The cost to play is usually between £14 To £20 depending on the Venue. Typically home matches are nearer to £14. The cost covers a brunch / coffee and in most cases sandwiches and chips afterwards.
The tee off time for home matches will be 11am. Meet at 10 am for brunch. This is generally the case with away matches with the exception of Goring and Streatley who tee off at 1pm.
Everyone is most welcome to put their name in the hat. My selection criteria will be where possible to put a lower handicap player with a higher handicapper. Where the home match precedes the corresponding away fixture priority will be given to players who have played in the home fixture.
Any player not selected due to the match being oversubscribed will get priority for the next match.
It is customarily for the captain to tee off first with the opposing captain. Two players from each team unavoidably have to be last out which involves a degree of waiting around. It will be my policy to monitor those going out last to ensure as far as possible that everyone takes a turn being last out.
There will be a WhatsApp group for players to register their interest in playing and also an email will be circulated.
Please ensure your availability before registering.
