Game in Kent April 2012.

[welshjim22]

Anyone up for a game during April in Kent. I have a lot of leave that month so would fancy a game away from my normal course if anyone is interested. Most of the masters are days off for me so only working around the wife and her shifts.

If it's north Kent and you need another one then give me a shout, I might be around for a game.

Well i am free between 3-8th and 13th-16th. Still waiting for wife to confirm if any are a real issue for her. As for courses. I normally play at homelands which is a very friendly but a little short 9 hole course in Ashford. So looking for a 18 hole course at a reasonable price. Pretty happy to travel up to about an hour maybe. I do have a spare 2-Fore-1 golf voucher if that helps.

jim, i recently played austin lodge in ainsford, just by brands hatch. A nice course in the downs with big elevation changes that was in great condition.

I could make it too, guess I'm on the reserve list!
I'd say Austin lodge too, some very interesting holes. Southern valley in gravesend is another interesting one but it's not as good a condition as AL.

I could be up for this as the Wife has a week off in April. Has a date been set yet?

We could always sort out a mini meet at my gaff if the dates are good.....

You've got a new hip, haven't you? That means you can walk up two hills at once, doesn't it?

I am sure that it was your gaff that knackered the old ones!!

Wouldn't surprise me!! I will never forget 36 holes there. Having got up at about 5am to make sure I got there and at about 6pm climbing that hill after the 18th, I thought I was going to collapse when I got up it.

Great day though. Would love to play there again, as I remember it being an excellent course, just a shame the greens had just been tined!!

Whereas I used my electic trolley and felt fresh as a daisy coming up 18 for the second time. However, I can't have been that fresh because I roasted an 8 foot birdie putt way past the hole! Think I still won though?!

Yes I believe you did win.

Well I have a leccy trolley now so think I might struggle quite as much. Definitely need to do it again though at some point.

One of my playing partners (Steve) took my spares trolley battery round in his pull trolley so i could switch when my 1st battery died ............... it never did , it lasted 36 holes, I felt really bad about that. I did "beat the pro" on the par 3 and I did have the pleasure of being stuck behind you, Bratty, for an entire day!!

 

[Oddsocks]

cant believe you old farts using ellecy trolleys before your time... yes bratty you bandit, the finger is pointing straight at you dear boy!

 

[AuburnWarrior]

Alas, the week my Wife has off work (April 9-13) is the same week that my course is shut for maintenance!

So, I'm happy to travel......

Seeing as theres so many of us interested, why dont we make aday of it and go somewhere as a mini society? I think Shooters Hill gc allow societies mid-week? Probably the best kept course ive ever played.
