CIH charity golf tournament 2015 Thursday 24 September
Bruce Course, Kinross Golf Club The Muirs, Kinross, KY13 8AS
(opposite The Green Hotel)
It will be a 4ball texas scramble with a shotgun start and will be held on the Bruce Course at Kinross Golf Club on Thursday 24 September 2015. Given that it is a texas scramble, golfers of all levels are encouraged to take part.
Kinross Golf Club was the venue of choice back in 2013, when the Bruce’s sister course the Montgomery hosted the CIH golfers. The Bruce is the less predictable sister - you’re more likely to stray off the beaten path! Proof comes in the par-39 outward nine where you’ll find four par-5s in the space of six holes.
Even though the challenge may be a little gentler on the Bruce course and whilst there is no ‘the Bruce Challenge’ (yet), scoring well isn’t a given. Weekend and ’average’ golfers often find the Bruce is more to their liking but the better golfer who sees four early par-5s and thinks “That’s four birdie holes!” often finds their card in shreds embarrassingly early in the round. Yet sometimes even a modest golfer finds a way to take advantage of the scoring opportunities that the Bruce presents.
Further proof of the wonderful unpredictability of the Bruce comes at the par-4 sixth. It’s the number one handicap hole and it only requires a mid-iron off the tee followed by a wedge. Unfortunately for some, the ’ball magnetic’ pond in front of the green generates plenty of golfing angst and big numbers. Unlike the Montgomery, where par is gratefully - even gleefully - accepted at the 18th, the closing hole on the Bruce, a 330-yard par-4 provides an opportunity for a birdie to earn some bragging rights in the clubhouse bar.
It’s difficult to pick the ’best’ par-3 on the Bruce but the short 16th might be the one that most golfers select: it’s 160 from the white tees but choosing the right bat can be difficult as the green is long and well-protected. It’s a picturesque hole with a well-framed green.

Texas scramble format
• 3 drives per player
• 10% of combined handicap
• Each team member plays a shot, and then it is up to the team to decide which shot is in the best position. Once the best position is decided each player then plays their next shot from that position. You need to make sure the position is marked before the first player hits, and then each person drops their ball to play. This process is continued until one of the players holes out with the stroke score being recorded.
