As at most clubs Horsham players get together for roll-up competitions at the weekend. The two principal groups are the Saturday Club and the Sunday Strollers. Once a year, the two play each other in a two leg match.

Each of six four balls play six holes of four-ball better-ball, six of Greensomes and six singles, with four points at stake. Going into the second leg the Strollers were slightly ahead but pulled away in the last few matches to record a 28 to 20 points victory.
