BMGA British Masters - Sunday 14 April - Splash Point Worthing

Has anyone found anywhere reasonable to stay in Worthing? I spent ages searching for somewhere at half-term, booked 3 nights at a B&B a few miles inland and they have just cancelled on me. Everywhere in Worthing and as far as Brighton seems to be either fully booked or over £100 a night. Any tips? I don't want a repeat of 2 years ago when we drove home to Cambridge on Saturday night and back again on Sunday morning.

How many nights are you looking for? Fri and Sat night? How many people too?

Sitting with a Worthing B&B owner this second and can tell you availability if you reply now....

Ideally Friday and Saturday night for 3 people.

Maybe Thursday night too if we can get a good deal...

Thanks Marc, look forward to hearing from you.

Just finding out for you....

I have one single and two twin rooms available for the Thurs, Fri and Sat. If you're interested I'll PM you the details of who to contact.

Assuming TK Maxx has taken a Twin and the Single, that leaves a Twin room available at £55 B&B. 10 mins walk from the course and is right on the seafront road. PM me if any KMGC member is interested!

All rooms now taken

Good luck to everyone playing at the weekend and fingers crossed for yet another KMGC winner of the Masters! VTK!

Ollie and I are there on Saturday, staying over. Apart from some time seeing my parents we'll be up for any proactice we can get. Looks an interesting course. Brian will make a late appearance if the cricket is rained off (if you have space)

The cut off is Sunday 9.30 so no problem if Brian makes it for then (be good to know as early as poss if he is going to make it).

Adam and I will be there all day on Saturday

Charity Hole-In-One Challenge taking place on Sunday at the British Masters. Tony Kelly won the challenge at the British Crazy Golf Open - will anyone get the ace on Sunday?

The hole will be announced just prior to the challenge which is due to start at 2.10pm on Sunday (and is open to all, whether playing in the Masters or not!)

Good luck to all KMGC playing in Worthing over the weekend, bring home the Classic Tweed yet again for team Kent!

Great article, I bought Tilting At Windmills for a bit of holiday reading.

Quick Q: how is the BMGA order of merit calculated? Curious to know how to move up, of course this will influence how I play on Sunday!

Simple - Play more events and do better than the players ranked above you!
