As part of your junior golf membership, you can enter competitions at Portobello throughout the year!

To play in any of the events, you will need to visit the golf course or call the Starter 2 weeks before the event takes place. That means you can choose the time that you want to play, and week before you are due to play, the Draw Sheet will be available at your golf course to confirm  the time that you will be playing.

Keep an eye on this website for details of results and fixtures. If you have booked your place on any of our junior events or competitions, tee off times  and results will be posted here.

Types of events

Strokeplay- Each stroke is counted and the handicap is deducted to give a final net score.

Stableford - Points are awarded for each hole for the net score i.e. after handicap allowance has been deducted on the following basis: Bogey (1 over par) 1 point/Par 2 points/Birdie 3 points/Eagle 4 points

Foursome - Teams of 2 players play alternate shots.

Fourball - Teams of 2 players each playing their own ball. The better score on each hole counts.

Flag - Player adds his handicap to the par of the course and marks his ball with a flag when he has played that number of strokes.
