We have decided to record our vicarious experiences of the delightful game here. Please feel free to comment. We are calling ourselves Victoria Sandwedge and Winnie Driver.AliBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09611113709872287863noreply@blogger.comBlogger8125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8435806087867674414.post-9410763514289412252007-07-04T10:01:00.001Z2009-02-04T20:20:09.526Z

I am now to be found out on the course, and on my website at Between the Lines

For all its faults (including close proximity to a major motorway interchange) GCNY does quite well for wildife. As well as the ubiquitous water fowl (who take great enjoyment from sh*tting on the greens while we hit into the lakes) we've spotted the occasional deer and many green woodpeckers. In times gone by we've even had a scoring system, a bit like those old I-Spy books, which we've used to

Okay, the ninth is (was, two weeks have gone by!) a par 4, 327yds, an uphill dog-leg affair with a nasty looking hole half way along ringed by warning signs of the ‘Danger Steep Drop’ variety. On the first day my drive had been a bit too far right, but I did well with a second shot that went around the top of the quarry thing and trickled towards the green. Think I got down for 5 which was fine

Just back from a weekend in south Cornwall. The hotel (chosen by Winnie and Reg) was fab and the course very scenic with no dastardly water hazards (unless you count the sea, and even the boys didn’t hit it that far).I think I’ll be polite about the weather and call it mixed, though horizontal rain and a brisk sou’ westerly were both pretty much in evidence. Still, between great breakfasts and

Now that this blog has got going, time for a few introductions.We started playing golf five or six years ago, four of us that is. We don’t always play together (see below re work commitments), but we have a tradition of going on golf breaks, preferably the cheap Sunday night variety, though lately we have moved up to some quite posh hotels. We also take ourselves abroad from time to time and have

This weekend we played a very nice course in West Midlands. As it had been frosty, all greens were temporary i.e. holes were short (yippee!) but putting was a nightmare. (You win some, you lose some?) Look out for the thirteenth tee over the water on this picture, but that was just for the men. The photo was taken from the ladies tee -now that's what I call a golf course!

From VictoriaIn case you are imagining that we play on manicured greens and fair fairways, we need to let you know that GCNY is more of a workaday golf club which right now is also being 'remodelled'. Funnily enough, we are the only lady members. I wonder why?

Possibly the first blog in the world for lady golfers. Don't expect too many golfing tips, but look out for reflections on how bad I am at this game and how I keep on playing it anyway.
