Clandon – 2026

Two newbies, Chris Steiblt and Mike Burley, joined us. Chris of no fixed abode and Mike from Runcorn GC.

After a fortnight or more of golf dodging rain, we had a dry day with a tricky breeze. There were preferred lies on the fairways which were hard leading to some spectacular drives. Watch out Rory! Greens were a little inconsistent probably due to the wind when at the top of the course.

The views were far reaching. I am not sure we managed to correctly pick out the various conurbations, out there somewhere were, Woking, Bracknell, Reading, Slough, Maidenhead and Basingstoke. 

The clubhouse (tent) was dry,  the coffee a DIY affair but the bacon rolls were provided on time. It was fine for the day but not great after the round.

All in all, the inclusion of Clandon appeared to be a success. Phew, I was anticipating another Rookwood. If we visit again maybe we should retire to the pub down the road after the round.
