Sorry, thought I’d said, at Sittingbourne

Sorry, thought I’d said, at Sittingbourne

I've enjoyed a few games at Sittingbourne over the years . I think the answer might be to arrange a game at the 3 courses in the spring when they are starting to improve from the winter conditions . I think the 3 courses are included in the reciprocal deal we all have .

 

[spongebob59]

Don't you mean 4 ?

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Yes, all 4 are on the list

Canterbury is the best by miles

I would happily play all of the courses mentioned and all enjoyable, apart from Etchinghill I'm afraid. Not my cup of tea at all I'm afraid. Played on the side of a hill, you need 1 leg longer than the other and for one of the holes you are told to aim at the pylon that is in the middle of the fairway and then land your 2nd shot 60 yards short and watch it hopefully roll onto the green!

Replace the pylon with a windmill was my reply when first told how to play that hole !

So, you're not too keen on Etchinghill?

Canterbury is my home town, but it's a bit weary to get to from where I live, lovely course as it Ashford. Etchinghill main bugbear with me is it is crowded every time I play.

Sorry spongebob my bad for missing you out.

 

[Bunkermagnet]

Looks like Etchinhill is no longer on the reciprocal list at Sittingbourne, won’t be an issue getting a guest rate for you

Yes, although my membership is suspended atm.

Let's look to sort something with us all in early spring. After 20mm rain last night they may be a little damp at present ?
