Our first fixture in the 2017-18 Ryder Cup saw us up against the formidable Early Birds. This year we have a few new faces in our team replacing some who have unfortunately left. With a small squad of players and yours truly unable to play it was important to think hard about pairings and which ...

Mattie Strong wins the Autumn Swindle Day
Swindle Day, or the 'fun' day
Cracking late October weather today as a full compliment of 28 turned up for the day. As for the pace of play, let me quote Mushi by saying "Boy-oh-boy"... a quick round it wasn't. Not a surprise but kudos to all for getting round in a 5 and a half hours (or a tad more) of 18 holes. Always going to be ...

Surrey Hills Finals Day 2017 at Woldingham
A fantastic Autumn day, fresh, bright and sunny on Friday. Finals Day might need a day booked off work but I think every year its been the league highlight (as it should be), where a member of each of the 5clubs team up head out in a scramble format competition, with pins, longest drive and some decent overall prizes.
Woldingham was the venue ...
