Lots of booked tee time over the festive period so posts will be sporadic at best.
Young Peter won the Swindle yesterday. Well done chap. Perhaps we need to consider if this appropriate a Junior as we are at the end of the day an adult Swindle, but that aside, well played Peter!
A decent number headed out yesterday in 5 groups. Worthy of a ...

Christmas Day 2014
Glorious day in the West Country on Christmas Day (and then pee'd down on Boxing Day).
I got lucky and managed to nip out before sunrise on Christmas Day and play my old course on Dartmoor. Took a couple of pictures - the members club is still looking great in the depth of winter... a members course they keep the green areas in great nick and do ...

Jane’s 50th at the Macve Mansion

Jane put on a fantastic show, a marquee on the back of the house (one wing at least!) had a dancefloor, bar area, seating... the lot. A DJ provided the music and the black and white dresscode the backdrop for a fantastic evening. Master of Ceremonies ...

Turkey Trot and Prizegiving 2014
A very fresh, frosty December morning saw the course in a white blanket when we tee'd off in our shotgun start. Bright day but remained chilly went the sun went in. Decked out in Christmas hats and jumpers, spirits were high as we headed out to our tees for the shotgun start. Big field, many tee's were doubled up.
Greens were unsurprisingly ...

As for the matches, Phil and I lost 4&3 in our early morning Westerham game to a determined local pair. Good game and nice chaps both. ...

Lee hits the 'big' 2-5
With some quick thinking from Wayne, we managed to play off the 10th during Saturday's comp morning, timing (just) our front nine through our prebooked Swindle times.
We had very heavy frost late during the night so the course/greens were completely white at the start, clearing only really at 11am, with some greens remaining ...

Match Report: Early Birds catch the Swashbucklers
The Early Bird "Eagles" captain Gordon had certainly pulled out the stops to put a very strong team against the somewhat - and on a good day - mighty Swashbucklers. The Jackson's were out and playing fresh after their Summer Pairs victory last weekend against our own Scottie Yule and Jez Parfitt. Sunil "The Rock" Phakkey was looking calm, ...

Match Report: Originals squeezed by the Bashers 12-4
Posted on behalf of Originals Captain Mr Yeti Chamberlain
The Originals lost their second Interswindle Ryder Cup match against Bob’s Bashers 12-4. After our excellent first victory, we fielded the same team but this time came up against opponents playing at the top of their game and who are definitely the side to beat this season.
Barry and Martin ...
