Didn’t want to start a new thread for this, but couldn’t find the golf one ( if one exists ). Anyone on here interested in golf would probably like to know that to much derision yesterday, the Charlton golf day was won by a 24 handicapper with a total on 51 points. The only other person who has ever achieved these type of figure is Donald Trump.
The person who came second carded 44 points. Great to see Rob Lee playing.

I played a golf day a few years ago at Leatherhead - not as difficult as London Club by any means, but a challenge non the less - winner, off 28 handicap, got 49 points - nobody clapped when he got up to collect his prize + he also won nearest the pin !!!
Our client golf day at Tandridge a few years ago was won by a client playing off 15 (he claimed) with 48 points and longest drive - ok I thought, he’s had a good day - Tandridge is not easy
The next year he turns up, 15 handicap, wins again with 48 points, longest drive and nearest the pin - he was in 4 ball in front of my group - no way was he 15 handicap - I reckon he was 4 or 5 handicap
He caused such a stink, even other clients complained - he is now banned from attending
I had the unfortunate experience to work with a guy who took us to play at his Club (Stock Brook Manor in Essex) and on turning up he told us not to call him by his name but by the name of "Jim" as he took over "Jim's" membership & handicap..........so enters Club competitions playing off 14 when he was a decent single figure handicaper.
The fact he was also knobbing one of our female colleagues into the bargain when married added to my dislike of him.
i can’t remember the last time I hit 30
If I am, and it was on the Heritage Course, it’s even worse - I drive a fair length off the tee, but there are par 4’s on the Heritage that I haven’t got a hope of getting on the green in 2 on
I’m going for a lay down……
I'm very happy with anything 30 or above.
Courses like that have been designed to thwart professionals, so (I believe) even a 28 handicapper, having the round of their life, would be doing well to get over 30
We used to hold our client golf day at London Club - used Heritage for 2 years, but clients complained that whilst it’s an amazing course, it’s too difficult - so we switched to International, but again the consensus was it’s too difficult - so we use Tandridge now (lovely course, not easy, but more forgiving + the food is superb, I would go there just for the food to be honest !!)
It’s a few years ago since we used London Club, but there was never a winning score over 36 points - I think best was 34, and that was a single handicapper
One year a client only scored 9 points over 18 holes of the Heritage 😱😱
Anyone playing in their first event is not allowed to win it or gain a cash prize for finishing in the top 3. Nearest the pins and longest drives you are allowed to win.
I go a few months a year playing weekly to not so much in the winter, be good to meet a few of you and/or players/legends
Total bandit.
I'm now 5.6 whs so probably a 7 off the whites and I can't imagine EVER shooting - 8 GROSS anywhere let alone there.
He should have been prevented winning the prizes as he's obviously a cheat!
But you cant beat Wales or Scotland for a decent cheap course.
The club?
FPA?
