USER1999
Grand Slam Winner
For some reason my course was closed today. A herts cadet comp (why they can't play during the week in the summer Hols remains a mystery). So four of us got a courtesy. Most didn't ask, and there weren't many going.
At mid herts. Never played there. Ten o clock. Fair enough.
Kitchen doesn't open til eleven, which is odd. Saturday, busiest day, and no breaky. Bum. Turned up at 9.30, and they haven't even turned the lights on. Like the Marie celeste.
Reported in to the pro shop, and went straight to the first tee. Course empty, really empty. Tee'd off. Nice course. Proper nice. But the holes were in random order. Like they had 18 holes, and drew them out of a hat to decide the order they played them in. Stupid long walks between holes, where you walk past several suitable tees, but they are not yours. Well sign posted though.
Enjoyed the round, and won 5 and 4. Most odd. Almost played well too, except for those holes within view of the club house.
Got in, no one about. Eventually got served, and had a nice pint of estrella and a bacon and egg sarnie. They were laying tables for their captains dinner dance. Not kidding, seating for about 50 people. Well attended then.
Top totty behind the bar though. Well worth a visit.
Lammerwood down the road. Closed last year, and returned to farmers land. You would think that the remaining golf course would be packed, but no, defo not. Brocket down the road, but silly money. And you can damage your wedges in the bunkers (allegedly).
Enjoyed the experience, but my course would have been rammed on a Saturday morning. Pretty much the only people we saw was another four ball from my course on another courtesy.
Reminded me of burn ham beeches.
Any one else been anywhere weird?
