A hot sticky day on Sunday as we hosted the home match against Surrey Downs in the 2019 season of the Surrey Hills League.
About midway through the season, we went into the match level with Surrey Downs in terms of points-difference... proving the mantra about getting a point of half on "every hole" be it at the start or end of the 18. ...

A slightly frazzled and under-the-weather Jaggsy welcomed everyone today as we arrived for the Surrey Hills League Finals Day 2018 at Surrey National.
Weather was manky and just as we headed out it started to spot, then drizzle, then rain, then rain even more. First hour or so was a bit miserable but things cleared up and we all ...

September finally came round and eight of us headed off to Turkey for our long-awaited tour to Belek, near Anatalya. A fantastic golf area with a host of impressive hotels within minutes of great courses.
