So far we have a 3-ball (Golfmadd, Justone and myself) for game here - the day after Cooden Beach.

are there any takers for the fourth spot, or indeed for a second group?

I'll try to get a tee around 10 - 10.30

(by the way, it's Hollingbury because I grew up just across from there but have never played it)
 
Huge thanks to Chris (Golfmadd), James (JustOne) and Geoff (Chris' mate) for allowing me to fulfil an ambition to play Hollingbury - I grew up close to it - nicked many a ball!)

The cloud base was so low on the downs we played the first couple of holes purely on James' memory.

Great company made up for the quality of the course. It really is a goat track - it's got the potential, perched on the downs overlooking Brighton; just needs someone to care about it - and stop the vandalism it suffers from.

Still now I've played it I have no need (or wish) to do it again.
 
As we sat in the clubhouse, looking out of the window at the pea souper, trying in vain to think of somewhere else to play and after a few unsuccessful phone calls, we all said, "feck it", let's just go for it and play! After the first it was almost clear
:cool:

So glad we hung in there as Steve (Viscount17) got his lifelong golfing wish of playing there. And yes, it is a goat track :eek:

Big thanks to Steve and James for making a potentially bad day into a great one. Must do it again - but not there!!!

Golfmmad.
