October–March

RUFF Challenge

Six months of indoor golf to keep your game sharp all winter. Every month has one main challenge and four side quests – all played in our TrackMan simulators, at every level, on your own or as a team.

You pick up the booklet at your nearest RUFF. That is where you tick off your challenges through the season.

The 2026/27 season

1. October – Stableford Challenge

Points instead of strokes. A bogey scores 1 point, a par 2 and a birdie 3 – and a single blow-up hole only costs you that one hole. A format that rewards aggressive play and gives you the confidence to hunt the flag.

• The Autumn Opener – Play 9 holes at St Andrews Old Course.
• Bullseye 1K – Score 1,000+ points in the TrackMan game Bullseye.
• Fairway Finder – Hit a total of 3 fairways during a 9-hole round.
• The Speed Demon – Hit a ball speed over 130 mph (men) / 100 mph (women).

• Flag Hunter – Land any shot within 2.0 metres of the pin.

4. January – Single challenge

5. February – Foursome challenge

Alternate shot with a partner: one ball, the whole round. Player A tees off, player B plays the second shot – every decision you make lands straight in your team-mate’s lap. It takes trust, strategy and a sense of humour.

• The Team Test – Play 9 holes of Foursome at Le Golf National.
• No Friction – Complete a hole without hitting any rough or bunkers.
• The Clutch Putt – Sink a putt longer than 5.0 metres.
• Double Strike – Both players land a drive on the fairway with a carry over 200 metres (men) / 150 metres (women) during the same session.

6. March – Greensome challenge

The season finale. Both players tee off on every hole, the team picks the best drive and plays alternate shot from there. All the strategy of team golf with the comfort of two chances.

• Green In Regulation – Hit the green after choosing the shorter of your two tee shots.
• Perfect Start – Land both players’ drives on the fairway on the same par-4 hole.
• The Tag-Team Birdie – Make a birdie where player A drives, player B hits the approach and player A sinks the putt. Manual putting required.
