Can non Masons / ladies take part?

The West Kent Open/ Ladies Rose Bowl is an ‘open’ championship and therefore those who are not yet Freemasons are welcome to attend; as are lady golfers who can enter the Ladies Rose Bowl, which runs parallel to the men’s championship.

We usually have around 20 to 25 men who are not Freemasons entering

How are the teams selected?

The West Kent teams are built from volunteers from our existing membership. We begin with the Golf Section Committee members and our regular players (those who make themselves available and can be relied upon to turn up at the match) – there is nothing worse than people letting you down on the day. We also build in other
players who express a desire to represent West Kent in inter-Provincial matches. Our teams include a spread of abilities and we have players on handicaps of 2, whilst we have others who play off 22.

Do you do any day outs for beginners?

We do not do any specific days out for beginners. However, players on beginner’s handicaps of 28 can play in the two main golf days but they will have to play off a maximum handicap of 24 for the day; it is the players own choice then whether he wishes to enter. This is a usual limitation placed on events and ensures that the day can run smoothly with minimum delays.
