Fancy a Game anyone

[Fader]

I'm a relatively new golfer (been playing 12months)and have only ever played my home course, so wondered if there are any other kent golfers in the forum arena that ever get together or fancied a meet up to show me the delights of their home courses or others in the region.

for someone whos been playing 12 months, congratulations on the HC of 9.2,

im about for weekday games at the moment and would be happy to travel somewhere between you and me for a game, my home course is currently in poor condition so wouldnt have the nerve to invite someone there, drop me a PM with your thoughts, theres a few off here ScottJD, AW, Chrisd, Smiffy who we could rope in for a game too.

I can sort out aslot for you to join me and a mate one Sunday, play all over the place, cray valley, southern valley and birchwood mostly, more than welcome. Also a member of the Eltham Maryfield society who play all over too, search for them on google for their website.

Pedham's a great course. Mind you, 28 mph winds will make it interesting, mate! :whoo:

 

[Oddsocks]

dont i know it bratts, its going to be fun hitting half a 6iron into a 120 yard par3 because of the wind...

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Playing pedham with a society the following Sunday (26th) if you're up for it fella, pm me if you are and il get you a spot. Good bunch of lads.


I'm playing at chelsfield this Sunday, not played it before but heard good things so far. Can't wait!

 

[Oddsocks]

Cheers Stuart, let me see how I hack on Sunday first, wind is not my strong point but I do like the course

PM me if you want hole by hole account, Stuart. I started my golf there and played it a lot. It's fairly short, but an okay test. If you're a little wayward, it's tricky.

Was back there last summer for a twilight round, and did the front 9 in level par, for the first time ever.

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Thanks Bratty, I love the suprises a fresh course can turn out. Will let you know how I get on

 

[Oddsocks]

likewise GBW, ill let you know of any changes when i play there sunday.

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Cheers mate, played Pedham a couple of times last year, looking forward to seeing how the new club house looks, last time I played there the club house was a container

 

[Oddsocks]

we must have played it around the same time, not fun when you take a society to a builders yard, but everyone loved the course. im pumped to be going back.

 

[RichardC]

Clubhouse is nice.

I usually stop at Pedham on my way home and use the range there.

 

[GOLFBALL_WHACKER_GUY]

Right bugger to get into on a boot fair Sunday morning though!

Sounds really good to me I'm happy to meet up anywhere for a game and enjoy the golf and new golf courses

Sounds good to me and would like to play all the courses you mention as they are local to me and I would like to extend my list of course played in my area

Played Chelsfield lakes today, greens were frozen until the 8th where the sun finally started thawing them.

Played the first two holeslovely, 3 pts from each. Then I fell apart! 11 ptsfront, 15 points back. Finished with a bogey on 18th for 3 pts though \0/ Overall a nice course, dunno why its got lakes in its name though, sure I only spotted the one!

How did Pedham play OD? I'm looking forward to it next Sunday.

Long would be an underestimate. Clever socks here come up with the idea
" lets play off the whites to make it interesting."


Well the par 5's were never reachable in two, even with a great drive away, most par5's you was hitting driver, 3w, pw-7i in... the wind was punishing but it made it fun.

shot 34 points with 3 birdies which is a personal best in one round. ground was dry, ball was running, course was mud free and greens were true, and not a single mat. a couple of hick up holes but all in all a great day.
