The Foxes
section is for both five and seven days members with a playing handicap from 9 to 19 and is affiliated to the Middlesex County
Foxes Association. The Foxes is the largest section at Stanmore with over 200 golfers that fall into this category by way
of handicap. There are no other qualifications required to join this section and therefore you are entitled to play in all
events subject to a £5.00 subscription and entering your name on the appropriate sheet in the men's locker room.
Inter
club matches are restricted by number and therefore it is advisable to enter as early as possible.
The
Foxes playing season is from April to September and includes the following matches and competitions : -
We
have eighteen home and away matches against nine other clubs, there are ten players per team and the format is four ball better
ball. These matches are played on a friendly but competitive basis, they are midweek and start between 2.30/3.30pm followed
