Musings on the Women’s game in 2024, words by James Burn

2024-09-18T09:58:12+00:00September 18th, 2024|Blog, Uncategorized|

words by James Burn Self-confessed 'Friend of the show' --- While the men’s game flounders in the tiresome impasse between the PGA Tour and LIV, the women’s game is stealing the spotlight with an electrifying year in 2024. Iconic venues, superstars, a thriving amateur game, and matchplay golf at its finest—it’s worth paying tribute to a stellar year. Nelly Korda When it comes to golf, Tiger Woods has set an impossible level of expectation for all future world number ones, across both the men’s and women’s game. Scottie Scheffler and Nelly Korda have given it an incredible go to reach [...]

An afternoon at Sunningdale Heath

2024-09-10T19:49:40+00:00September 10th, 2024|Blog, Uncategorized|

Sunningdale Heath Golf Club - 11th October, 2024 Now Sold out - please register to be added to our waiting list. #FeelTheJoy in partnership with FootJoy On the 11th October we are putting together a relaxed afternoon of short course fun at Sunningdale Heath. Formerly known as Sunningdale Ladies Golf Club, what this short Harry Colt course lacks in length, it more than makes up for it in intimacy and challenge. While it may have 14 par 3s, we firmly believe the varying lengths and challenges demand you to hit all the shots in the bag (although pulling out [...]

Blackwell Golf Club - 19th July, 2024 #FeelTheJoy in partnership with FootJoy Our inaugural Cookie Jar Mixer was held at Blackwell in 2021, and we thought we would bring it back. A big day of golf in the summer, some fantastic food, drinks and much much more! A film from that day can be viewed below, including a wonderful impromptu poem delivered by James Woods, originally told at a game between the Honourable Company & Royal St George's.  Much like many clubs of that era, Blackwell was founded by a group of local businessmen in 1893.

The Addington Golf Club - Friday 31st May Limited Places Available For the last two years, The Spring Meeting has been the jewel in the CJ-crown, held at some truly exceptional venues, and this years instalment promises to be no different. In 2022 Pippa Bonsall left the field in her wake as she put together a great final round at Royal St George's with her partner Sam Clapham, and last year after a strong opening round at Moortown, Matthew Reid played lights-out golf down the stretch to win at Alwoodley. A taster from last years event can be found [...]

Les Bordes: The New Course – Gil Hanse

2023-09-12T09:19:44+00:00September 12th, 2023|Blog, Uncategorized|

As part of the recent development work at Les Bordes under the stewardship of the Private Equity group RoundShield who acquired the estate in 2018, a second 18 has been built on the higher sandy ground nearer the entrance to the 1,400 acre estate (the second largest privately owned estate in France... the largest being Disneyland in Paris). Gil Hanse was commissioned to design and layout the course with one simple brief; ‘This is a members club, a second club for almost everyone and as such it was important to create a course which was walkable and enjoyed short transitions [...]

Les Bordes: The Old Course – Robert Von Hagge

2023-09-12T08:43:00+00:00September 12th, 2023|Blog, Uncategorized|

An honours board commemorating those that have broken 80, or kept the same ball in play all the way round. A course that is famed for its difficulty and an obscenely small membership (as low as 3 if some rumours are to be believed), Les Bordes has been the stuff of legend and mystique for many years. More recently however with events like The Bridges Cup and the addition of a second course (The New) by Gil Hanse, this club is creating a fresh history of its own.  Not surprisingly then, when an invitation came through to visit and see [...]

The Addington: Right where it needs to be, to become world class again

2023-06-30T08:05:42+00:00June 30th, 2023|Uncategorized|

  In September 2020, we recorded a podcast with Jasper Miners & Sam Cooper from @evalu18golf. The pandemic was raging and a certain character - Ryan Noades - had been sending out dossiers to the wider golfing community about a restoration to his course at somewhere called ‘The Addington’ in Croydon, only 10 miles outside of central London.   This promised to be one of the most daring and radical restorations Britain had ever seen, reverentially bringing back the great layout that Abercromby & Colt had left behind before the onset of WWII. On that podcast Jasper uttered the immortal words; [...]
