Next Saturday, the 11th August, my friend and I head up to sunny(hopefully) Scotland to take part in the 2012 Eden Tournament.

This is an International tournament, and there are guys from all over the world taking part.

Everyone plays two rounds (one on Eden Course & one on New Course). The lowest 64 gross then play in scratch matchplay knockout. The next lowest 32 nett players then play in a handicap matchplay knockout.

I have played twice before, but have not yet made the matchplay stages. 2009 I missed out by 2 for the scratch and 2010 missed by 5. I am determined to get my butt in gear this year and qualify. We will wait and see.

This is some of the best value golf anyone could find. Excluding travel & accomodation the golf entry is £120 and for that you are guaranteed 6 rounds even if you don't make the matchplay.

If you don't make the matchplay stages, there is a Stableford comp on the thursday on the Jubilee Course. This is used as an Open Qualifier course and is far tougher than the Old, Eden or New.

Just wondered if any of you guys out there are playing this year, and if not, you should seriously consider it next year.

Assuming I can get internet connection during the week I will post a few pics and results. Even if the results are crap.
