Triangular Match

The Triangular Match takes place annually between Hampshire, Sussex and Wessex. Each of the regions fields a 12 person team. The format for the golf is an individual stableford with the best 8 of the 12 scores to count.

Over the years a ritual has developed over the evening meal where each player is requested to reveal their score to the gathering. The Captains seek the scores from the players.

After disclosues from the 1st eight scores the totals are totted up. Each subsequent score called for then results in the lowest score from the 8 being discarded and a new total being arrived at. It makes for a tense and intriguing meal, usually with the winners being established with or after coffee.

The event has run annually since 1996.
