Hi
My wife and I will be in St Andrews April 4th through 6th, 2024. I love golf she loves it when I'm out golfing. Win win.
We are going there so I can try to play the Old Course at St Andrews.
I am looking for fellow golfers that would to join me in the ballot system and try to acquire a tee time to play any of these three days.
There are some stipulations.
You must present proof you have a handicap of 36 or below. ( You have to show them your GHIN card) I'm a 13.
We have to enter the ballot 48 hours before you want to play. So to play on Thursday the 4th we need to get in the ballot lottery on 2nd.
From the research I have done, there may be a 25% chance of getting on this way.
I really want to play and will rain or shine and I ask that from you if you want to try to do this.
St Andrews will only allow you to enter the ballot lottery with a twosome or foursome. Singles must go to the course early in the morning they want to play and hope they can get a tee time. Some golfers leave the pub the night before and sit outside the starter shed all night. That is what I will be doing if the ballot thing doesn't work out.
The cost is also high, $300 for green fees. You can rent clubs there, which is what I am going to do.
A little about me
I am a recently retired 64 year old 13 handicap . Im an avid golfer that tries to get in one round whenever we vacation.
This is a bucket list thing fo me. If it is for too let me know.
