Damp and mild over the weekend, and Saturday saw four Ryder Cup teams playing with the Pistols having their off week.
Greens and course conditions both soft. Certainly better than last week when the Sunday comp were faced with frozen greens the whole round compared to Saturday. Shame the Order of Merit points were awarded - you ...

This was never going to be an easy match for us, clearly PK’s the strongest team of the five. But we had a plan and it almost came off. We lost 10-6, but it could have been so much worse.
JC was still struggling with a chest infection and would rather have not played and Rob Hance had ...

Early 8am start for the 2019 Ryder Cup finals day on Saturday. 15 groups setup across the 4 Swindles, each match featuring a different Swindle member with final Stableford group placings scoring a 3, 2, 1 or zero.
A fantastic Spring day for us all; shorts and t-shirts for most. A sunny day, barely a cloud in the sky, the course ...

Last Saturday Team Captains Dan Mason and Rob Hance both put out very strong teams for the always-anticipated head-to-head between our Swindle's two Ryder Cup teams. Clubhouse berforehand seemed all very practical and clinical to be honest, no unnecessary bravado and wild adhoc bets flying around. Perhaps lets call it 'quiet ...

Four teams in the competition this year, the pairs of matches are being played on specific weekends. Unfortunately, in the past they have not been the quickest matches so lumping them together makes sense. Saturday saw the first frost of the Autumn and a bitter easterly wind bought the temperature right down. At least it stayed ...

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 ...

After rescheduling our Surrey 5s match due to the recent snow we had to move the Originals / Swashbucklers match back one day to the Sunday. Both sides manages to get teams together and it was game on!
The weather was dry, cloudy but wet ...

STILL UNDEFEATED!
The in-house battles were quickly drawn up between the Captains with in-house family matches avoided, even though I was tempted to suggest match up’s between the Yule’s & Snashers!!
All of the Original’s singles players were after ...

Swashie captain Wayne will hopefully updating this post with a full match report.
For now we can report a hard fought 8 all draw with the determined Early Birds. Captain Mass was keen to announce that their pool of players literally stretched to 12 and I think was chuffed with his team's great performance.
The Jaggs and I were up ...

Very cold overnight on Friday, and we had a heavy frost together with greens being like rock. Few hangovers around with festive drinks and curries being consumed the night before a few bleary eyes Swashbucklers turned up for their second Ryder cup match against Bob's Bashers' playing their first.
Bob himself was around to show support, ...
