Hello mate!
. I hope that life is treating you well. And how right you are and indeed this is exactly what the pro said when I called. Just checked my diary and it's actually Wednesday 3rd April that I'm playing Bearwood. We are on the course immediately after a shotgun am-am finishes that day. Really looking forward to it.
Cheers,
Snelly.

Nice to hear from you Snelly. Unfortunately I have now left Crowborough Beacon so we won't be able to play as semi arranged. If you ever fancy a bish bosh bash around East Brighton one day, give me a tinkle. My long game is coming on in leaps and bounds.

My dad always said to me " Son if you think you will be missed anywhere when you have gone get a bucket of water, stick your hands in it, splash as much as you like then when ready pull your hands out. The hole that is left is how much you will be missed" He was a wise man. No offense to anyone I just think it is right.

Nice one Dave - I hope you enjoy. If we keep some dry weather for a bit, the course should be reasonable - although there is still a lot of water retained in frozen ground. Eight is very wet as they have ruined the drainage with the new lake - it is being sorted later in the season. Come and have a look in the summer when the new 16th tee is in play and you can see all the changes at their best - although in the winter the last 100 yards of 16 gets a thorough redesign, and they might have worked out what to do on 18 - it has been debated for 3 years or more and still no final decision - personally, I would like to see the whole crater short of the green turned into a heather bowl.
The following is a brief list of changes since you last played:
1. New back tee; new fairway bunker on the left (second one), much bigger greenside bunker, removed gorse to the right of green
2. new greenside bunker
3. extended greenside bunker towards front of green
4. Extended fairway to the left after fairway bunker and lots of drainage work near green - yet to bed in, but should be great for next winter
5. new fairway bunker - more work to come here with another bunker short left of green, widening and some flattening of the blind fairway
8 and 9 - heather regeneration and lots of water
10 - 2 new lakes
11. new fairway bunkers for the big boys and extended the fairway to the left of the bunkers short of the green
13. Rumour of work to come here - like extending the lake to the right and in front of the green
15. new fairway bunker - only for the big boys
16. new raised tees that are also moved right - new fairway bunkers - will play more like a half moon shape - big work on the last 100 yards to come - they are flattening out the dip to give a better chance of reaching in 2 but a big bunker will be built into the left side of the green - it is hard to imagine how the last 100 yards will look but I expect it will be like a hogs back
17. cut back some trees and added more fairway on the right to complement the new bunker and significantly widened the fairway into the green - some very good changes and plays great in the summer
Catch you soon
