H4H (Part 2) Hankley Common golf club 24th September 2019

[Radbourne2010]

Just a warning for those travelling to Hankley Common from Aldershot side of Farnham. There is a single lane bridge in Tilford, just up the road from the golf course, that will be closed. You need to come via Farnham railway station. Cross the lines and keep on the road towards Tilford. (Do not take the road on the left just over the line which heads towards Godalming). The bridge on the Farnham -Tilford road is open, and you can drive straight on to the golf club. Allow for a bit extra time to avoid possible traffic on Farnham bypass, though it probably will not have built up too much around 07.15 ish. The route is straightforward, but if you tried to come more cross country from Aldershot to Hankley you will find it almost impossible.

It seems that the closed bridge will not re-open for 10 months !

If you are driving from Godalming A3 side of the golf course, good luck ! Probably need to come off at Hindhead, and take Rushmoor Road towards Tilford.

Cheers Richard! Should be fun after a skinful with Fish & his mates

As you mention 07:15, I'm assuming that the we're teeing of at around 8 or so?

Would anyone by any chance be happy to share a room with me? Realised it might be a bit tight getting to Farnham in time from London. @Radbourne2010 perhaps?

Is Farnham to Hankley common on the A287 all open

It is Tony but if you come all the way out of Farnham on that road, you need to turn left at Millbridge crossroads and it is not a great road to Hankley very narrow. You are also scarely close to my house at the Millbridge crossraods.Best route is the Tilford road from Farnham station. Road you must avoid is B3001

I remember that road. My sat nav told me to turn right - so I did- into the station. Easy mistake to make !!

Any likelihood you'll be needing to slap yourself??

Absolutely none, nowhere near my patch.

After the golf is it smart casual for the food at Hankley & Tanbridge or jacket/Tie required ? (edit only asking so I can let my guest know tomorrow)

thanks.

thanks.

Smart casual both days. Need to change, shower for lunch, but jackets and ties not required. Both clubs have plenty of towels.

Only 4 showers at Tandridge so best for some groups to have a drink before showering, and others to get showered straight after golf.

If you are going to wear shorts on either day, please check out clubs website for rules.

 

[Captainron]

And just to be clear - If you chose to wear shorts and you wear ankle length socks these must be WHITE!

Love a dress code I do!

Looking at the forecast, it doesn’t look very promising for us shorts wearers.

Basically the same requirement for Hankley with white socks.

Dare you to wear them.
