One temporary green at Swinley Forest Golf Club yesterday for Surrey Chamber of Commerce November fixture.
That itself wasn't too bad being positioned right at the front of the large 1st green. Swinley is a top members club rated in the worlds top100, and always a popular fixture in the society rota. Bit of a pity we play it in ...

First round of Ryder Cup matches started this weekend in the wind and rain on Saturday at soggy Surrey National.
Fixture came out of the blue for us, apparently an email had been sent in September but was news to us so a fresh and soon-to-be-frazzled team Captain Scottie Yule pulled a team together this week to face the Pistol ...

In the depths of last winter we decided on visiting a different part of Spain to see if we could meet up with our old friend Denzil at some stage. Not only did he turn up but so did Teresa and stayed over night playing two rounds with us. Just as well because he would probably have won the tour had he been ...

Last Friday saw Surrey National lifting the Surrey Hills League trophy for only the second time in its 10 year history.
Firstly, I’d like to thank all the other teams within the league for the competitive matches that were played this year. Unfortunately, our last match against Surrey Downs could ...

With Dom out on tour this week, I was lucky to be asked to join Chris Hart, GP and Mr Loveless on Monday at the Prostate Cancer UK Charity Day event held at Sandy Lodge Golf Club near Northwood in Herts.
Hosted by Jack from the charity and former European Tour pro Andrew Murray, the day is a 'thank you' held by Prostate Cancer UK for all ...

Much anticipated main golf tour for 2019 for most of us - 12 Swashbucklers headed out to Belek in Turkey for the second year in a row. The Jolly Boys are off to Spain next week, we await a tour report from Mr Adams.
Overall a really great week... heaps of ropey golf, some ok, sun n' beers. The weather was not as hot as last ...

Been either away on tour, busy at work, or fighting man-flu over last few weeks so updated have been sparse.
On tour last week, we had some top Swindle results come in.
Medal
Firstly, congrats to Lee the Feez for winning September medal, pipping Danny by two shots, followed by fellow Swindlers Scottie and Lamppost. Top darts ...

Bit cooler at the weekend. After Stuart Anderson's very impressive 43pts last week in the Presidents Bowl, the scores were lower and more bunched.
Greens cut and rolled by the greenkeepers in the morning and they were rolling well. With a dewy start and a breeze in the early Autumn day, I for one found them hard to read during ...

Saturday saw us taking on our sister club who were struggling at the foot of the league table, so a win was more than expected, even though they didn’t role over and give us an easy time of it.
The greens were certainly a lot slower, which made the breaks and lines much harder to read and with the extremely hot ...

Clearly not having a enough wind ruining our golf cards on Saturday, the Surrey Hills team headed over to Farleigh for our next away fixture in Surrey Hills on Sunday. This was the first of our three away matches and saw us taking on the 'auld enemy! We went into the match with a commanding 42 ...
