The weather was slightly cooler than of late when we gathered for the first of two matches with Lingfield Park. We had not been able to get a full team together and after several emails with Malcolm he agreed to share his reserves with us. Unfortunately we still only had 5 teams. They recently joined forces with their ladies team and we we privileged to have 3 of them playing on the day. With all of that aside the…
Our return match with North Downs started in high spirits. Having lost to them at home just two weeks ago with a 4 1/2 to 1 1/2 defeat, we needed to win. The weather was great and so was the company but that was not enough to bring out the best in us. We were slightly better than our last match with a 4 and 2 loss. Never mind chaps next year is another story.…
He is back in the groove! George Paulson managed to pull off an overall win for the under 25.5 handicap caps at Mondays monthly medal. George has been spending quite a bit of time admiring and talking to the many different species of trees at Coulsdon which he said was therapeutic! Speaking to him earlier today George said “ it’s been a long haul but I am back. There is no looking back, unless that…
For a day or two it looked like we might have to cancel but we rallied and put out a full team. It was a perfect day. The weather had cooled a little and we set off with the bit between our teeth looking for a win! The golf was fantastic but even with the magical touches of genius from Surinder who pared the 1st hole after going into the trees on the left and…
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…
A change in the weather gave us all the urge to get out there and play. It was impressive to see all of our team members is their club attire and a sea of Cambridge Blue hats could be seen for miles. Addington bought an impressive team and although we played some good golf Addington we’re the better side this time and beat us 4 to 2 . I think the best way of looking…
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).…
