Sociable Golfers

Our Ethos

🌞 1. Play to Enjoy

Golf is our excuse to gather, giggle, and get outside. Skill levels vary—fun doesn’t. Turn up early, meet old and new friends and have time for a cuppa and a chat before the serious fun begins.

👭 2. Three’s a Competition

Three or more players = game on. Prizes optional, but cheeky titles are encouraged.

🎲 3. Format Flexibility

We mix it up: Stableford, Scramble, nearest the Pins etc ” Got a fun idea? Let us know

📊 4. Handicaps Are Helpful, but only if accurate

We encourage everyone to keep their handicap relevant. We aim to play off 100% handicaps, but may make thoughtful adjustments if needed to keep things fair and even for all.

🤝 5. Mix & Mingle

Social games are about connection. Players must be willing to play with anyone—regardless of club, handicap, or how many balls they brought.

🐢 6. Pace of Play: Keep It Breezy

We keep things moving, but no stopwatch stress. Chat, cheer, and swing at your own rhythm. Pick up if appropriate and be aware of your playing partners

💖 8. Kindness Is Par for the Course

Compliments over critiques. We celebrate great shots and laugh off the rest. Ask for help if you want some … there’s always someone in a group who can help

📝 9. Personal Scorecards Optional

Keep your own score if you like. For team games we’ll keep a team card and of course we will all remember the highlights—like bunker ballet or surprise birdies.

📸 10. Photos & Fun

Group pics, silly poses, and celebratory selfies are part of the tradition. Say “Sociable Golfers”

🍰 11. Post-Round Rituals

Drinks, debriefs, and maybe cake. The 19th hole is where legends (and laughter) live.

A few more serious points to note

Payment

Changes / Cancellations

For Opens and Charity Days payment is required at the time of the formal booking with the organisers. One Sociable Golf member will make the team booking. A bespoke Whatsapp group will be set up for those in the specific team only and details of who payment should be made to will be circulated on the group. Please ensure payment is made swiftly.

For Social Monthly Events payment is usually required on the day. One member of the group will make the payment at the club on arrival and then collect relevant sums from each player in cash.

Changes / Cancellations

Sometimes changes are required and we will do everything possible to assist in finding a replacement . Please inform Ali Mackway as soon as you are aware of the need to change.

Where a replacement is found it is the responsibility of the original player to agree any costs and take any payments. In the event that a substitute is not able to be found then the original player will forfeit the costs.
