Off we all trucked for a cheeky Autumn mini tour, straight from work Wednesday evening for five rounds in the Costa Del Sol.

Surrey National beat Couldson @Home
A cracking weekend of mid Autumn weather - I was in t-shirts for both days - and I make no apologies for the sight of me stripping off the Under Armor... no doubt putting several off their games. Mild temperature and a only smidge of rain on Saturday, not bad... but Sunday was just perfect with clear sky and sun. You would have expected the course ...

Sean on Dragon’s Den soon(ish)
Sean was late to the Hever match, but found time to send the reason why he was late to Phil. Take one stiff hand brush, with a few plastic ties = some mighty clean(er) golf spikes.
