You can’t join Princes mate. Can’t have you becoming a links professional

No danger of that!

Unfortunately, having played a few of them in winter now I’m seeing benefits that they have in regards to playability year round.

Broome Park.

I keep telling myself that the fact it’s so close by is why I should stay, and they’ve been grand with me taking my daughter over for a few holes over summer. But the social part has just walked out the door so to speak.

Why would you not join Canterbury?

 

[Papas1982]

Why would you not join Canterbury?

I didn’t last year for a few reasons:

£400 difference in fees.
Commute is probably 40mins in a morning, not 5.
Social aspect, knew a few members at Broome Park.
I’ve played both courses throughout previous years and Canterbury in winter has always been shocking.

True Winter Golf today. Wet, dank and dreary with shocking lies everywhere. I couldn't get anything close to a swing going. Managed to dodge the worst of the rain so we got all 18 in. Summer now seems like a long time ago. Still, nights will be on the turn again in a little over two weeks.

Had a great day on the Heath at Blackmoor with BIM and Richart- looking at the forecast it looked like it was going to be a wash out but we got round the 18 holes dry as a bone, despite all the rain the course was in excellent condition especially the greens which were true as ever , don’t think I can remember one fairway which was soaked.

Some really good golf all round - especially from Richart who scored 40 points in testing conditions

41 points Phil but who is counting.

Good to play with you and Richard. Some good golf, and plenty of laughs on a decent course in good weather. What was not to like.

I have pencilled in Richard for another game in 2024.

You're too kind; will you actually invite me or will I have to wait for Phil? Course was superb considering the amount of rain, a lot of fun had, and we dodged the rain. All in all a great day out

We all sat in the lounge this morning saying "should we". Glad we do because the rain stopped halfway up the first and never started again until we were back in the lounge.

Golf was ok for the time of the year.

We often agree to lift clean and place at this time of year but we forgot to agree it before we went out and it was much needed. I am still struggling with the correct pace on the main greens but that is mainly down to not playing as often due a lot of buggy bans or simply not wanting to go out in the rain.

 

[Mr Hip]

Took the new sticks out for the first time. Course is in great condition considering the amount of rain we have had recently. Unfortunately it started again as we were on the sixth green so played the seventh and adjourned to the clubhouse for tea and mince pies!
Level par for the holes played and greened every iron shot. They feel great and the Aerotech shafts are a revelation.

Beat the weather today, just starting to drizzle as we came off.
Respectable front 9 of 17 points, matched by Fragger who, it seemed, had worked out how to use his driver!
On the 10th I carved one into the clag and he knocked it on the green in 2.
As he wandered over to help find mine he said " Oh, is that me on the green in 2 then?"
Now Fragger obviously hasn't heard of Karma or the Golfing Gods because, although he parred the 10th, his game went to rack and ruin. The Golfing Gods dumped on him from a great height while I parred all remaining holes to trounce the single-kidneyed one 38-31.....
He was most overjoyed for me......
If I include my par on the 9th, I made 9 pars in 10 holes - respectable that..

first game in a week, pretty windy if you were to believe the forecast, but not a bad day.. played OK and we took the team money.

Lots of work going on though. New 7th Green Turfed, new 1st green built and getting turfed this morning. 10th getting reshaping around the edges of the green and new Bunkers. 14th getting the turf removed to go onto the new 1st green and being reshaped and two new bunkers

 

[garyinderry]

Plenty of wind and the odd bit of rain. Cold.

We took our chances and went out anyway for 9. Played a scramble between 3of us to keep some focus.

Only 1 under but we had to work for it. 3 of the par 4s were driver 3 wood. we were short on two of them.

That for me is what being a member of a club is all about

Thanks Glyn, appreciate the help you offered with Woodhall, just had to factor in a few things like the cost of the wedding this year and a lot of lost time to changes at work hopefully in 18months have the spare pennies to venture over to you guys, the place looks amazing.

You are welcome over for a game in the summer 👍

The changes we are doing right now are just mind blowing.

I'll certainly take you up on that, I had a little look the other day I believe you were out playing according to guy I spoke to and changes he talked me through sounded good, so once everything is paid off in the personal life I'll certainly be venturing over to you

Might have been Dan and i reckon he might have used different words - hacking could have been one
