I Just Played My First Open Golf Event For 15 Years… And I’m Already Planning My Next One

Nick Bonfield drives off the first tee at England Golf's iGolf event at Abridge golf club.

I love being a nomadic golfer and it suits me more than golf club membership at this moment in time, but there are definitely elements of club life that I really miss: building up an intimate knowledge of a course, having a place to call home, developing friendships and competing in competitions on a regular basis.

Since I reluctantly stepped away from membership at the age of 19, I haven’t competed in many competitions and I’ve only really taken part in card-in-hand events at a handful of charity golf days, most of which have prioritised fun over serious competition.
