@Rob7Lee I too would be interested in a CL golf day.

playing celtic manor the montgomirie last weekend of september, we are looking for a course to play on route there on the saturday bristol sort of way would be ideal, we are all 18-25 handicappers.

Castle Combe is just off the M4 near Swindon, lovely place and course 

If anyone watches the tubes golf channel, the new episode with joey Barton is something else. Bloke is an absolute loose cannon.

I played Westerham golf club today. It is very nice and not too long,the greens just recovering from aeriation or whatever it is called. One thing I didn't know is that the golf course was the creation of Ron Nodes and he was the first chairman there. He loved it so much he had his ashes buried under the 150 yard marker in the middle of the 18th fairway. It is a beautiful downhill finishing hole with lovely views over Kent. I know old Ron is not one of our favourite people of all time but he picked a good spot to end up.

Watched it recently. He is a strange one. Still very on the edge despite wanting us to believe he’s a changed character these days. Decent golfer though

Playing there end of October. Heard good things 

were you not Out of Bounds ???   Looks like white OOB markers where you are playing from the reeds. 

Really glad you enjoyed it. I've been a member there since 1984 and still enjoy the place. The sea breeze always makes it a challenge!

Let me know if you're ever down again and I will get you that pint!

@MattTeesHeader i forgot to come back and say how much I enjoyed playing Cooden Beach. Lovely course, even if I did stick one on the railway line! Was a very hot day. Had a great night out in Eastbourne , lovely meal at Meze, 3hrs sleep then up next morning to play Lingfield on the way back (nowhere near as nice course and torrential rain).

Parents live 10 min walk from there. I've played it a few times. Very strict on long socks when wearing shorts.....🙄.

One of the best changes golf made was reducing the strictness of golfing attire. I'm playing a sport not going to a wedding!

Just come back from a little stay in the Borders( Berwick and a bit further north) played magdeline fields,haddington and Eyemouth, the latter was a real monster..some great weather and good company 

Anyone played Weald of Kent down at Headcorn in recent times? Off down there in a few weeks for the first time

Not played it for ages pre-Covid not a bad track a few challenging holes, I’m sure you will enjoy it. Tough opener teeing over the pond.

I am playing the West Course at Moor Park tomorrow….. praying for a sub 90 but will settle for some good ball striking as been slapping it a little of late and pulling left
