What a glorious day. After some pleading we managed to fielded a full team. The sun was beating down and the golf was good. Unfortunately not good enough to beat our hosts. It was a heavy loss 5 1/2 to 1/2! Thank goodness for Alex and Reg who saved us from another whitewash! Sorry no pictures were taken!
This was the first of the away days for 2023 and we were not let down. 16 vets and 16 Wednesday Worriers met for bacon rolls and coffee in readiness for a days golf. Parkwood has a lot going for it. The 18 Hole Par 72 6,835 yard course sits in an area of outstanding natural beauty with views of the Surrey and Kent country side. We were spoiled! Magnificent course with exceptionally friendly staff. The…
It was a cold start to our annual match for the Lightbody Trophy with the Coulsdon Ladies. 4 teams, 2 ladies and 2 gents, set off under cloudy conditions to win the wine, and of course the silver salver. By the 9th hole it was warming up, and so was the golf! And after some challenging shots from the undergrowth we all returned for a well earned lunch and the results. First prise went to…

it was great to meet a another new club this year and for once we had two reserves if needed and two new players, Garry and Neil were in third spot. The weather looked promising although we did have a few spots of rain as the day went on. Our course was is good shape too so having met everyone over coffee and a bacon butty, it was off. Unfortunately it proved to be a…
The day started well with a good team to challenge our hosts. The Mitcham Golf Club grounds men had done their job and the course was in very good shape. The greens in particular were stunning and it took us a while to adjust to their smooth, flat, bump free finish. As the day went on the weather got better and it would appear, so did the golf. (I am excluding myself from that comment).…
The first match of the season and it rained! It was however good to see our new friends from Wimbledon in their bright red attire. They came with fire in their bellies after losing their first two matches. We, unfortunately could not muster a full team, and with two men down, they sensed victory and were formidable. They came, they saw and the conquered. It was a heavy loss of six to nil for Coulsdon. …
