This is to hold all match report from over the years
We had a slightly later Tee than usual as rush hour travelling is a bit of a problem. However all work well and after a refreshing coffee and a bacon roll we rolled out to the first tee lead by the captains. Being on home ground was an advantage but unfortunate Wimbledon found their way and gained the upper hand with some very good golf. Although we lost the scores were incredible close and the…
The annual match with the Ladies was organised and run by the Ladies Section and was played a bit differently this year, but as usual, the fine trophy awaited the outcome of the winning section. Five matches were played with some dubious looking ladies on the ladies team, testing was not on hand so the competition went ahead. Thankfully, a strict dress code by the Ladies Captain was not enforced, despite the Vets Captain asking if he…
This was the last match for 2023 and the furthest away. Traffic delayed some of our team but our hosts graciously delayed the start and eventually we teed off around 9 a.m. With only 10 men, Reg and Mac played 3 ball with two opponents each! The course was great and the WAGS team were the perfect hosts. We all played as best as possible but unfortunately it was a overwhelming loss being beaten 6-0. …
Our final match with the Coulsdon Ladies for this year and as usual they laid on a great day. Rain was on the cards and it was not long before it started, but it did not deter us and we carried on regardless. There was some really good golf and at the end of the day after a meal the results were presented. They were quite close and the winners were Mavis Haeger, Maggie Dempster,…
The weather was still being good to us although there was a lot of mist in the air. After a last minute cancellation, Reg stepped in and we had a full team ready to take on the challenge. Our hosts were very hospitable and a good fun day was on the cards. It was just that! A perfect day with pleasant friend which ended exactly as it should have being a draw. The meal was…
Another day another match. The weather does not look good but we are ready to play our final match with Woldingham this year. As expected it rained and looked like it would be set for the day. But it wasn’t and in true form we set off. Unfortunately we were not to be victorious. It was another loss but a very enjoyable day for all. Final score was lost 4, drew 1, won 1. Overall…
The weather has turned and we have a beautiful day to play our return match with Addington Court. A full team was present and we set off into the sun looking for a win or at least a draw. Unfortunately not to be and we lost 4 and 2. The company outshone the loss and our friends at Addington were the perfect hosts. Better luck next year!
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…
