Solid soggy scoring
A very strong Swindle showing in Sunday's Monthly Stableford with some cracking scoring on a day which saw near frozen greens, heavy frost, then Winter sunshine then a cold biting wind. Fortunately we all came in before the rain did.
Wayne was pipped by the narrowest of margins with a very impressive 41pts from Luke Carter. Stevie's usual ...

Seaford Head 4ball mid Feb
With an unexpected inch of snow early Saturday morning, the comp was off, car park empty and the usual suspects in the clubhouse. Seaford Head was suggested and a couple of tee times booked. A few texts didnt produce much interest so myself, Sean, Brian C and Mark headed off to the south coast. As it happened, even before we left the M25 there ...

Around the club… Mid Feb Swindle
Some impressive scoring over the weekend. Standard scratch of 30 and 31 on Saturday and Sunday with Swindles of over 20+ both days.
Course very playable but very soggy in places. Bunkers in play across the weekend despite some large puddles. Weather was pretty good with the Winter sun warming those in tee shirts and light jumpers on ...

“I don’t do Facebook” … or do you?
Was doing some very quick testing this morning hooking up a blog feed to a Facebook page (been a while since I did it).
So used Swashbucklers blog as a test and there is now a Facebook page - it will just feed blog posts to the page so all you mobile phone addicts, glued to the tiny screens on the way to work can now LIKE the page and show all the ...

Can of Worms? Handicap Review time
What else could a post about handicap reviews be named except a can of worms? We're all very sensitive/protective/proud/thoroughly embarrassed on occasion by those magic numbers by our name on the club list. It's that time of year prior to 1st March (in advance of the new golfing year in May), where handicaps are open to review.
Matt sent round ...

Early Feb Swindle and Stableford
Dean and Graham halved Saturday's Swindle on 34 points I heard today - impressive scoring on what was largely frozen greens. Good going both.
Sunday saw a much softer course and greens, but still a biting wind out of the weak Winter sun. With most in the Comp I believe young Peter got 39points won the juniors, and Denzil and Dave Shirley came ...

Match Report: Mail on Sunday Comp Away to the Addington
Surrey National manage a close away win 3-2
The weather was relatively kind to us. The Add was cold but playable with only a few bits of a lying snow around the greens. Greens themselves were very firm, frozen for the front nine before the temperature eased slightly and softened them for the back nine.
The team of myself, Scottie Yule, Tom ...

Golf Game: Trainwreck
Another good game here, a decent alternative in a 3ball to barracuda.
You play cumulative stableford scoring off handicap. If you nett bogey two holes in a row you go back to zero, if you double bogey (ie blob) you go back to zero... hence Trainwreck.
In play, if you got stableford points on the first two holes of 2pts, 2pts, but hoofed it into ...
