I had made a mistake on my first post which I have now amended.
:oops:
Just to clarify, this competition is open to all players with a handicap of 14 or higher, eg. 14, 21, 28, 35 etc.
Sorry for any confusion I may have caused by my original post which said "21 handicap or less" !
:sorry:
Can you put me in the hat please?
Done, thanks Toby. Is that the only one you're entering?
Only me for the Braves!!
