This door will always open for golfers of any standard.

We are open again, bookings are being taken!

7 days ahead for members, 4 days for non-members!

John asked me the other day if I thought that money really talked?

Of Course I replied, but mine just says goodbye!

Who is this?

Have you heard this one ?

 My brother came back from school all motivated because he said he would be following a new diet from that day.

We didn't really give it much thought until my brother really started eating his homework for dinner.

When we stopped him and asked why he was doing that, he replied,

"I was just trying to see how it tasted because my teacher said that the homework would be a piece of cake for me."

Who said?

Every kid learning how to play golf dreams about winning the Masters, about winning the Open, not about being the leading money winner. I've never shortchanged myself on dreams!

Was it:

a) Tom Kite

b) Tom Watson or

c) Tom Lehman?

Answer at the bottom of the page.

The Deans.

Monday Matins.

(Welcome back Friar Neale) 

On this bright but cold afternoon we had five teams playing an Alan J format, dropping the lowest score. The four ball teams multiplied their final score by 2/3 to give parity to the three ball teams.
1st, 85.3 points, Gordon N, Brian, Harry and James H.
2nd, 82 points, Mike, Monty and Colin.
3rd, 75.3 points, Sid, Dave BJ, Gordon D and Dave D.
4th, 75 points, Bill, Barry and Nigel.
5th, 72 points, Peter, Graham and Dave Mil.
The speed of play was good, well done.
Regards

Wednesday Wizards.

75.5 Colin Jones, Peter Williams

74     Monty Mason, Bill Field, Graham Johnson

Stay safe!

Did I?

Play Golf or just spoil another walk?

As you walk off the course next time ask yourself the following questions:

Did I enjoy myself?

Have I signed my card?

Did I replace my divots and repair my pitch marks?

You should answer YES to them all!
