An excellent number of 21 hardy players turned out for our visit to East Brighton – must be close to a record for a February meeting. However the initial enthusiasm was somewhat tempered by the wind which was severe enough for oscillating balls, flying score cards and all the pin flags being tied down. By…

After our successful outing at Eastbourne Downs in January we travel a few miles down the coast to Brighton to again play on a well drained chalk based course.  We look forward to seeing you on Friday with again a good turnout of 21 for a cold February day on the coast.  A war welcome to James…

We had blue skies overhead and a dry but chilly day up on the South Downs on a very pleasant course which was much better than we might reasonably expect for a mid-January meeting. Alan Bigley’s first outing as captain saw a very good attendance of 20 brave and hearty chaps out on the course…

Happy New Year.  We look forward to seeing you on Friday with a decent turnout for a cold January day on the coast.  The good news is the course is built on chalk so despite the recent rain and floods should be relatively dry ! High on a plateau of the South Downs behind Beachy Head, the…

The weather looks decent but very cold for our Christmas Bash on Friday. We have a good strong field of 26 tempted no doubt by getting up early on freezing cold December morning – nothing to do with the Christmas lunch that follows!! Dewlands was designed and built in 1989 the golf course covers the…

We are pleased to invite members to our year end showcase event. Established members will know that this is a very enjoyable, if bibulous occasion, and new members may have been warned! Conditions at Dewlands are likely to be what the horse racing community calls ’soft” ( though ‘rock hard’ with frost has been known,…

We had the best day of the week weather wise which was fantastic and despite the torrential rain earlier in the week the course was in excellent condition – dry under foot and with good well drained greens. Attendance was again good with 18 members and a guest turning up for a course we have…
