Hi, thank you, I would very much like a scorecard of Fleming Park to put on the website. What's the best way of getting it to me. Can I PM you with my email address or postal address?

Thank you. There is an entry on the Golf's Missing Links website, just type in Norfolk Golf & Country Club in the search facility and you will see it.
if anyone has a card and/or planner for the course, or any recent pictures of the site I would love to include them on the website.

Your welcome, the course is not to far from me so I will ask the farmer (yes its farmland now!) If its ok to take some photos and I'll email them to you.

Homelands, Ashford

It says for the foreseeable on the website, so it may be returning?

The scorecard and course planner are now on the website.

If anyone (former members etc) can help with information regarding recently closed courses I would love to hear from them.
Please "Contact Me" with information through my free website Golf's Missing Links www.golfsmissinglinks.co.uk
Unfortunately there seems to be a glut of recent closures and I would like to record the history of the clubs on the website before they disappear into the ether.

Can anyone give me information on Purley Chase Golf Club (is it closed), Tamworth Municipal, Martin Moor and Owmby (both in Lincolnshire)

John, here are some of the Lamerwood photos, including the course planner.
I'll try and take some more, but the pathway was flooded at the weekend and I didnt have my wellies. Please feel free to use any that you like.

Vaul Golf Club - Isle of Tiree. Not quite 'disappeared' but trying very hard not to be noticed (pic 1). Is this as flat and featureless as golf gets - though the very flatness makes it quite difficult. Actually other holes are not quite so 'confusing' (pic 2)- it's a glorious little 9-hole course on a glorious little island. I think it used to be 18 holes until about 1911 when 18 were consolidated into 9 (it's laid out on machair - common grazing land) and land not required went back to the machair.

You start close to one side of island (pic 1) and play to other side (pic 2) and back again

I was invited to play at Lamerwood a few weeks before we moved to Inverness, It was a client that was something to do with a Jap bank. a couple of Cricket mates played it a fair bit and always rated it highly.

Wish i had played it now, was too busy with the move at the time.

Excellent, thanks very much, I think you may need a snorkel as well.

Thanks.

Last year I think, remember seeing a snippet in one of the free locals.

Re: John Llewellyn

Iford was a 9 hole and I learn to play there , it closed and part of the course ( 4 holes ) is now part of Christchurch Golf Centre , only one green of the course still remains , bit of info for you to add as a footnote maybe ...................EYG
