Roll ups
If you are keen on playing social golf as well as, or instead of competitive golf, there are a number of roll ups every week. These are open to all golfers and take place on Saturday mornings and some midweek days. A draw is made for partners in the clubhouse and is a great way to meet other new and established members of the club.

Team Golf
The Men’s Section has a good record in the Sussex Scratch Knockout competition, the Oliver's Trophy. This is run by the Sussex Golf Union and held every year as a 36 hole match play competition. Teams consist of 8 players playing foursomes in the morning and singles in the afternoon, the winning team going through to the next round with the final being held at the end of the summer.
Another Scratch competition, played by both category 1 and category 2, is the Pyecombe Pitcher. This is played as a 4 ball better ball competition against East Sussex National, Bognor, Copthorne, Littlehampton, Mid Sussex, Singing Hills, Cowdray Park, Piltdown, and Mannings Heath.

Birchwood Motor Group Trophy
This is an event played as a 4 ball better ball with representatives from Category 2 and category 3 representing clubs. Organised by the Sussex County Golf Union, the competition is played as a knockout culminating in a final at the end of the summer.

The Mid Sussex League (MSL) is a competition played between five clubs; Haywards Heath, Copthorne, Ifield, Worthing and Pyecombe. Matches are great fun and open to all full 7-day members (see 'representative teams'), who have an official handicap index of 24.0 or less. Clubs play against each other once a year in a summer league with matches being played home and away on the same day followed by a good lunch!! As well as these matches the League also holds Summer and Winter finals days (individual and team event) and the Friendship Bowl (invitation to the Ladies) which are open to all who have played in any of the matches throughout the year. Each club takes it in turns to host these events. Pyecombe also have an agreement with these clubs to enable members to play on their courses at a reduced green fee or even free in some cases!


Pyecombe Bucks

The Pyecombe Bucks play in the Sussex InterClub League, which is a competitive but less formal league for players with a minimum Handicap Index of 16 and a maximum of 36. The season is preceded by an internal Pyecombe fixture, the Bucks Tankard, normally at the end of February. There is also an annual challenge match between the Bucks and a Pyecombe Captain's Team.
The League consists of 7 Clubs, and each Club is played home and away, normally preceded by breakfast, or a brunch. This is a fantastic opportunity to play competitive Matchplay golf at some really good Sussex courses for a very reasonable match fee of around £12. The format is teams of 12 a side, playing in 6 pairs, Fourball, Better Ball. The other Clubs in the League are, Ham Manor, West Hove, The Dyke, East Brighton, Ifield and Cottesmore. Pyecombe most recently won the League in 2018. Additionally there is an InterClub Trophy fixture, mid-summer, when all 7 teams participate against each other. Results & Fixtures.
Please direct any questions regarding the Bucks to their Captain, Dave Bates.


Seniors

The Men's Seniors section of the club is for men aged 55 years and over. From April to October they play in over thirty 4-ball better ball matches against clubs in Sussex, home and away, which are friendly yet still competitive.
Also there are 12 internal competitions, not including 7 monthly stablefords. They consist of Medals, Stablefords, Scrambles and Greensomes events. There are also Winter and Summer Matchplay events (knockouts) played over 4 months, in season.
Every Senior is able to take part in these events.
