Our last match with Mitcham this year and with a 5&1 win at home under our belts we stood a good chance of retaining the trophy. The weather was good and the atmosphere was humming. After a good round of golf it was back in the club house for ham, egg and chips and the final results from the captains We fielded 7 teams which was a good move because as the scores can in…
Lots of good things today. Weather was surprisingly excellent. The attire of some participants was interesting to say the least!Simon Edwards had a fantastic round and secured the Captains Cup to go alongside the Presidents Trophy that he won last monthWell done to Tony Brown and myself for getting a 2. In my case they were the only good shots I played all morning. Thank you all for taking part and I hope that you…
A friendly start to a day with banter from the get go, followed by a round of most enjoyable golf, a drink before lunch where the chat and laughter continued, and went on throughout lunch. This is what made it all worthwhile and this is what happened when we met up with Chipstead for the return match last week. A really great day was had by all and to top it off, we won! A…
What a great day to play Golf! With the temperatures soaring into the high 20’s, the aim was to stay in the shade, something most of the VETS are good at!! The return match with our NorthDowns friends was supposed to go better than the first match where we suffered a 5 to 1 defeat. A friendly, fun day with great banter and camaraderie, and back to the shade of the hotel for well deserved…
What a great day to play Golf! The day was going to be hot in more ways than one. With our friends from Mitcham arriving early we tried to beat the heat and get on the course as soon as we could. A friendly, fun day with great banter and camaraderie, and back to the shade of the hotel for well deserved drinks and a bite to eat. The captains for the day gave a summary…
For a change the weather was favourable and the team were hankering for a win and up for the challenge. Our Captain, ably assisted by Naranjan led us out in true style, and returned to the club house with a 2&1 win under their belts! Was this to be the start of greater things? No it was not! As each team returned it soon became apparent that no more wins would be recorded this time…
We had a very enjoyable game against Woldingham today if you discount the result. We lost 4½ to 1½. Woldingham were very good company though and everyone had an enjoyable time. Special mention to Mike Addley and Gerry Hayman who were without partners but fought valiantly throughout the game. If you don’t already play in matches please consider doing so if you are able. It’s a great day out!
Great to see the lads from Addington Court again this year. Coffee and bacon baguettes demolished, introductions made and it was off to the first tee for some very interesting golf! Was this match going to be the turning point in our run of “nil pois?” Tension was running at an all time high, a bit like the Saturday Match for Crystal Palace! We sat down to Cajun Chicken Burger and the final scores. We…
After meeting in the club house for coffee and introduction we went to our allotted tee’s. Although the sun was out it was cold start to the day. Unfortunately due to illness we only had 11 men and we struggled to make a dent in the armour of our opponents. The sun came through but it did not give us the energy we needed to overcome the home team. Back to the club house for…
Our awayday at Park Wood started bright but with a testing wind, challenging both golfer and golf ball. After that the weather looked up a bit and by looking at the cards, so did the golf. We were joined by for the day by two groups from the Artisans who are always welcome and now traditionally play this one with us. Six groups got out, playing mostly four ball, scoring individual stableford points at 100%…
