Sutton Green Golf Club - Surrey

I was offered a round at Sutton Green by an old work colleague, well I couldn't resist, it was raining on the way to the club but the clouds cleared a little when I got there and we had patchy sunshine for most of our round. The course is carved out of the wooded landscape that sits between Guildford and Woking providing some spectacular views of the Surrey countryside.

The approach road to the clubhouse runs along the left of the first hole so the tendency is to aim a little right, I didn’t get any height on my tee shot but at least it went straight. My playing partner was trying out a new driver and managed a low hook across the road, into the bushes bounding the course.

Longest Golf Day

The toughest challenge in golf is back and I am taking part. Playing 72 holes, hitting 300+ shots and walking 20 miles - all in one day?

In 2010, over 300 teams took part in the challenge raising more than £325,000 to help people living with cancer in the UK.

A quick round at Boxmoor Golf Club

On the morning of our planned visit to the 'Outlaws' in Nottingham I decided to get a quick nine holes in at Boxmoor Golf Club with Ken. We had last played there in 2007 but I remember it being a very friendly club whose course provided a great test to the golfer with many holes requiring pin point accuracy.
