Scores for Saturday 17 October 2026



A cold start to the day as temperatures had finally dropped and we have had a little rain. Very windy on the course made golf difficult.

Course condition is improving as the netting had been removed from the 10th and 11th greens. The fairways are still quite poor especially the eighth. The club is introducing the optional use of mats on the fairways later in the year and a selection are available in the Pro Shop. Order yours by the 26th October for a discounted price.

Some issues with double booking as another group had the same time as us, 8:28. They had a booking on EliteLive and we had a confirmation booking on Jock's phone. Obviously a glitch in the matrix.

Some excellent recovery shots today from Andy and Paul who both managed sandy pars. Andy's on the third and Paul's on the ninth.

A notable shot from Dan as he managed to chip in for a well deserved birdie from the cross drains on the fifth.

Round of the day goes to Richard with a fine 80 and 39 points. Well done Richard.

Also some great nines with Richard scoring 21 points on the back nine and Martin 20 on the front nine. Well done guys.

Player Of The Year is hoting up as we draw towards the end of the year. Martin L is clear by four points ahead of Paul and Steve R with Martin D a further two shots back. The "Player of the Year" and the "Race to deBar" are now both shown on the Honours board on the website along side the Major winners.

There are now only four more Swindle games until the end of the year.

Next year's Autumn Cup will be held at the East Sussex National which looks fabulous with its two courses. Well done Martin L for organising.

The weekly Rota is also now visible on the website.

Please keep your availability up to date as it makes it very difficult for James generate the booking sheet, James shouldn't have to chase people every week.

Best gross of the day was from with 80.

Today was the last swindle game of the year so it brings a close to the competitions we run during the year. Player of the year Race to de Bar Gross Eclectic Stableford Eclectic Many people today said it was cold but not for Steve Reynolds, he was on fire with a very impressive 77 gross and 39 points beating second place Richard by 10 points. Probably some of the lowest Stableford scores of the year. Another year of golf comes to an end and it's time to announce the winners of both the Player of The Year and the Race to De Bar. Player of the year     The winner of Player of The Year is Richard Hyne well done Richard winning by four points from Jason and Jock. Race to de Bar The winner of Race to De Bar is Richard Hyne well done Richard winning £60 net. That is Richard's first win of either competition a rise from 10th and 15th places from last year. Gross Eclectic Won by James Miller with 59, four shots ahead of the next players and nobody scored an eagle this year. Stableford...

A cold start to the day with frost on the greens for the early starters, the sun came out later making it a great day for some great golf. The great golf came from Steve Reynolds today with a fabulous 37 points to win by 8 shots. This must be one of the largest winning margins we have ever had, well done Steve. A great start to the year moving Steve to the top of both the money and points lists. A fine second for Jason on 29 points tied with two others, Martin Deery and Coenraad, Jason taking it on count back. Many a missed putt by both Jason and Martin. Dan Smith taking the front nine despite injuring his back on the fourth hole,  he sounded like Monica Seles on almost every shot with various grunts and groans. Most of us struggled in the rough with mud on golf balls and on fairways riddled with worm casts, it looked in places like the worms were taking over the golf course.  One more swindle game next week followed by four weekends of club competitions. The average gross sco...

Weather was kind to us today with only a few spots of rain about half way around, course being quite soggy in places . On the course they have now opened all the new bunkers and cut down all the trees and bushes around the lake adjacent to the 10th green. It looks much better from the 18th tee and now you should be able to see if a sliced tee shot goes into the water or not. This is the first swindle game of the year with the first two being cancelled due to the course being closed with frozen greens. I am sure everybody is pleased to be back playing golf after the long lay off.  Excellent round by Steve Reynolds to take first place with twelve pars a gross of 79 and Stableford of 36 points, a great start to the year for Steve after a poor 2025. Dan also had a poor year in 2025 and a back 9 win today will hopefully mean a better year this year. In fact Dan also won the back 9 on his first game last year. Second place goes to Andy with a score of 34 points, Dan, Paul and Jason all b...
