Graham on fire in chilly April Swindle

29 April, 2018 by Hew 2 Comments

Most weekend Swindles will go by without a blog post, but worth popping a few lines down from today.  Just 7 or 8 degrees today tops, damp, with the odd spot of rain, and a strong wind driving down the temperature even lower.  Woolly hats and layers back on.  We knew from the day before that the greens were rolling very well despite ...

Captains Drive In 2018 – Thanks Mark… Welcome Captain Dom

28 April, 2018 by Hew 1 Comment

Damp day for the Drive In today.  We had a heap of rain overnight which saw bunkers pooling with water but the course was in good nick and the greens rolling surprisingly well.  Threat of rain didn't turn up and we had a decent day given the possible alternative. Good turnout - 18 teams of nearly all 4balls.  Format on the day is ...

Pistols’ Dan takes 2017/2018 Order of Merit

27 April, 2018 by Hew Leave a Comment

Final medal of the golfing year last weekend and the Order of Merit was to be decided on this competition with barely a couple of points between the top3.  I believe the original plan was to have the 3 contenders, Dan, Al Savs and Lee Feez head out in a 3ball.  On the day Lee went out earlier, leaving Al and Dan to share a buggy later in ...

Fantastic day at Surrey National’s 2018 Charity Day

20 April, 2018 by Hew 1 Comment

A fantastic day greeted members and guests for Surrey National's 2018 Charity Day on Thursday.  The day had been switched to a more convenient day, and surely increased the chance of some better weather.  Central London hit 29 yesterday and Surrey National surely must have been in mid20s.  Course was in great condition, recent mild ...

Wednesday Whack 2018 begins

18 April, 2018 by Hew Leave a Comment

Weather has improved massively this week and the Wednesday Whackers brigade are heading out. Wayne is the usual 'point man' in organising tee times and confirming venues across the Group's courses.  He's on holiday at the moment and he needs his wrist injury to get better.  In the meantime, poke the usual Whackers faces, Graham A, Mushi, ...

Surrey National beat Farleigh away in first match of 2018 Surrey Hills League

15 April, 2018 by Hew Leave a Comment

First match of the 2018 season in the Surrey Hills league and Surrey National's opening fixture saw us head over to Farleigh today.  Overcast and somewhat mild, we escaped the rain but it was breezy and very wet in places underfoot to make things interesting.  Course ok, but they have a PGA event later in the year and greens had been ...

Swashbucklers win 2018 Swindle Ryder Cup

14 April, 2018 by Hew 1 Comment

A fantastic day's weather saw the Swashies pip the Pistols, Early Birds and Originals in today's Ryder Cup Final. Last year's campaign saw us start the Finals Day quite far back (which looked dodgy to even make the day  at one point), but despite just winning the actual day, it wasn't anywhere near enough to get close to the front runners ...

Surrey Fives Match Reports

9 April, 2018 by Hew Leave a Comment

Posted on behalf of team captain Mark Surrey 5’s A team had to play a qualifier, before even making the main draw this year. And this was away at Shirley Park. Quite a nice course if not too long, with some nice greens. The team took advantage of the invaluable practice round (note to the B team) which allowed us to learn where to hit the ball, as ...

Penultimate comp of the golfing year… and all to play for

8 April, 2018 by Hew Leave a Comment

Soggy weekend for the last stableford of the year.  I'd heard previously (admittedly from Kieran) that this was the last comp and we had Dan D, Lee Feez and Al Savs fighting it out for top honours.  However, I was sooner put in order from various sources (*shrug*) that there was one more comp to go - a medal.   Certainly not ...
