Chiddingfold Golf Club Wednesday 22 June 2022

by Alan Papps

I was looking forward to playing Chiddingford, it’s always good to play new courses.

Arrived in plenty of time, the weather was forecast to be hot, 26C + so loads of suncream required.

The morning 9-hole competition was a flag competition, won by team Steve’s (Adams, Nower, Faulkner and Nigel “Steve” Jackson) – well done boys

After ham, egg and chips lunch (in the shade), I was out with Warwick and Ray.  I started well with 3 pars and 2 birdies in the 1st 6 holes, including a birdie on the NTP 6th.  Didn’t need to measure though as it was well outside Nigel’s winning shot of 3’ 4” – Well played Nigel.

Ray decided to call it a day after nine as the course and heat was getting the better of him. In hindsight, that was a good call as the back 9 was a bit of a challenge.  Holes 14-17 were either all uphill or down. OMG they were tough!

I want to thank Warwick and Ray for their great company and really enjoyed playing this tricky course. And thanks to Tim for cutting my HC down to 10 !! 😊
