The weather report for Harpenden, UK.

Partly cloudy throughout the day.

High temperature of 8.1degC with a low temperature of -2.1degC.
No rain with a relative humidity of 83.1%.
Wind speed of 7mph gusting to 14.7mph from the South
Cloud cover was 60.1% with a visibility of 7.7miles
UV index was 1.

A very cold and frosty start to the golf today, two groups went off early and one much later due to the Champions Cup taking our tee times. The last group definitely having the best of the weather as the greens started to thaw out. No bunkers in play due to the frost.

Yellow tees were the order of the day and the first swindle day using the new fairway mats. The mats received mixed reviews, some saying they were really good others less so.

An excellent win for Roger Small today with a great 37 points with three four pointers on the back nine helping his cause.
Dan managed clinch second from Jason on count back with Richard taking the front nine. Paul managed the back nine courtesy of Dan taking second place.

This meant that with Martin L not winning anything Richard is now only 2 points from the lead and Paul moving up to four points behind. It's all getting very close at the top.

We now have three, possibly four games left until the end of the year depending on whether enough players want to play on Boxing day. We need at least seven for it to qualify as a valid full weekend and four to six players for half points. 

The average gross score today was 89.00 and the average Stableford score was 31.00 points.

Best gross of the day was from Richard Hyne with 82.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 7 birdies today.

Richard Hyne with 2 on holes 4 and 11.
Roger Small with 1 on hole 18.
Jason Landau with 1 on hole 16.
Paul Gardner with 1 on hole 16.

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...
