    Christmas 2025

    Golf Things That Gladden The Heart

    Booked 4 open competitions for next season this afternoon. Car packed for a trip to Saunton tomorrow morning. Need to play more competitions, too much social golf this year.😉

    Golf Random Irritations

    Mixed Opens. Virtually all Greensomes. No thanks, we don't want to travel for two hours and play half a round.

    Can't call them that, they are now "Noiseless Winter Novelties" 🤣

    Random Irritations
