Last Thursday, 20th July, 20 played at Tylney Park GC, our second visit there. Last year the kitchen and clubhouse were closed after the round as they we still hiring staff after Covid.

» Read moreAlthough I was not at Corhampton I gather it was a good day and that you were well looked after well by John and Martin. I have used the scores as entered on the day into GG. While they differ to the analogue scores used to announce the result the placings are consistent. When I get the cards from John […]
» Read moreHalf-term, child minding, holidays and an oil tank leak reduced the numbers playing to 12 on Wimbledon Common from the Wimbledon Common Golf Club in our pillar box red attire. A few seemed to spend time searching for a ‘womble’ having misunderstood their ability to reach the long grass or not quite reached the other side of the gorge. The […]
» Read moreEighteen enthusiastic folk travelled to Rookwood GC near Horsham, all wondering just what the course would be like. We had a couple of extra players, Steve Luckhurst who travelled over from Kent, Phil Richards who plays at Petersfield and Andy Gibb visiting Charlie from Jersey.

» Read moreOverview During the year we visited old favourites, Puttenham, Littlehampton and Cowdray, returned to Alresford after a gap of 3 years and visited Cottesmore and Tylney Park for the time.

Charlie brought along his brother-in-law, Andy Catchpole to sample the delights of Cowdray. Trevor Matthews made his debut with the group. In general the scores were lower than we have come to expect at Cowdray but everyone seemed to enjoy the greens […]
» Read moreNineteen players assembled in the refurbished Alresford clubhouse. Peripatos GS were visiting for the first time since adopting the name in 2016. The changes made to the clubhouse have really improved things. Catering was good, if a little slow in the morning. The greens were not a fast as were expected and as with many courses played this year, the […]
» Read moreSunny weather and a dry course saw most players return scores of 30 or more. It was good to see a team who are not associated with Old Thorns win the team competition and grab second in the individual. Congratulations to Martin H who managed to negotiate a favourable handicap. He doesn’t have a formal handicap. Playing the previous two […]
» Read moreTylney Park, a new venue for Peripatos. The weather was hot, the greens were true. The was course lined with mature oaks, limes, pines of all varieties, as well as many others. Red kites circled overhead or perched in trees around the greens. True, I wasn’t concentrating the golf.as much as I should have been. Sitting out side the clubhouse […]
