Our first event for 2026 was attended by 28 players and considering the weather over the last few months was an excellent turn out.
After a full English breakfast, the golfers set out in chilly overcast and very blustery conditions. The Course was in exceptional condition as a great deal of work has been done by the Team there.
Our winner of the day was Chris Miller with a very impressive 39 points.
Congratulations to him and being the first name on our new Winter Warm Up Trophy called The Foxley Trophy, kindly donated by our sponsor of the day and Vice-Captain Tony McClean. Bottles of wine were presented to the Winner, 2nd and 3rd places, nearest the PIN’s and longest drive.
Thank you to the nine who attended the meal in the evening at The Farmhouse with BBQ pulled Beef rolls, chips and slaw, followed by cheese and biscuits.
Our next event is at The Drift on 23rd April (St George’s Day) and I look forward to seeing you there.
Happy Golfing Jo

The Course had tricky greens and fairways now dried out, sending the ball bouncing off in erratic directions.

The third event for 2026 was held at Pedham Place described as an inland links-style golf course, sponsored by Peter and Helen Wickens who provided local wine from Bolney as prizes. After a tasty full English breakfast and coffee, complimented by many, a mixed group of twenty eight players set out in very warm and sunny weather (the start of the heatwave).
The course seemed to challenge many with several blind holes and without trees helping where to aim the ball. The first group encountered a swarm of bees and had to 'duck' behind golf bags, on the second tee.
The scores ranged from 9pts to our winner of the Admiral Ramsey Cup, Trevor Pigram on 42pts. Congratulations to all our winners
Fourteen players and guests had a Spaghetti Bolognese followed by cheese and biscuits at the Farmhouse on a very busy evening at the Farmhouse. Thank you to Tracy and her team.
Looking forward to seeing as many as possible (on typing this the invitation has already gone out) at Singing Hills on Monday
15th June.
To further great golf scores and staying safe in the heat. Jo
