There was a full house of 12 men champing at the bit for our first Match in 2026 at Woldingham. Always nice to see a friendly team eager to show off their amazing course, and it didn’t disappoint. With the groundsmen out earlier than us making sure of perfection, the first team led by our captain was on the tee and the match was on. The weather held but the wind was bitterly cold. It…
The 76th Club AGM on 7 January was attended by 30 members including 8 committee members. At the start, the outgoing captain presented a cheque to St Christopher’s Hospice for £5,643.77 for the funds raised from members during the year (in addition to the £1.356.25 through Justgiving). Dawn Ford of the hospice expressed her sincere appreciation. The AGM confirmed that following the 2025 AGM, the qualifying age for the Club had been reduced to 55…
This was the last match for 2025 and the last time our Captain for the year would lead us into battle. Knowing that we had not won the cup for a good number years made us more determined and although there were only 5 teams the challenge was on. The Wednesday Warriors, formally the Artisans, put up a great fight, knowing they were already 1 down from the match earlier in the year. With everyone back…
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…
