Keef - you've rumbled my true rationale


Seriously tho it sounds like a few people are up for it but some of us could do with hitting a driving range for an evening first before we make fools of ourselves on a public course - So shall we pick a night for driving range practice, have a few cold drinks and then decide where and when to play properly

Think that is a fine idea Sean - you don't want a foursome of rusty players and rookies out on a public course. Quite aside from being hilariously embarrassing for all concerned and taking about 6 hours to get round (not my idea of fun) it will seriously piss off the propa golfing fraternity where slow play is on par with torturing children.

rugby is played by men with odd shaped balls.if you do go beckenham is the place great 18 hole course with a great club house that does decent food and more importantly adequate liquid refereshments of the abv sort. the last time i played there 2-3 yrs ago there was a bloke driving around the course in a small buggy selling drinks and snacks etc.

OK - I've had a few PMs on this subject as well so let's get down to business


As there are a few noobies I'm going to book a few lanes at the Croydon driving range so I need to know:


How many and what evening?


I am going to aim for Tues evening next week so please raise your hand or come up with a better suggestion

Mr Sean, I know I am a newbie but are the local golf clubs all elitest members only clubs then? I believe there are 2, Aquarius & oooooh I cant remember the other one???


I have never played, other than grazy golf & pitch & putt but the Mrs likes a round or two so may be interested once she arrives from Oz mid June.


Cheers GG

Hey GG


I have played the Dulwich & Sydenham one (the one in the woods) - non members can pay and play during weekdays. Bit pricey and not very long or challengin but nice views across London


A few other posters have mentions other municipal coursel in Brockley/Beckenham way I think (I'll be relying on a lift in that case)


Your poor Mrs won't know what hit here when she arrives you have so much planned for her!

    • Just had a huge dump of overdue mail today; a birthday card sent on 11 March (that birthday is now long gone!), a missing SIM card, which had to be ordered again, overdue PCN correspondence from Southwark, meaning fines have been missed without me knowing (again!). This is a problem which stems back to the closure of the E.Dulwich sorting office over 5 years ago, although Royal Mail keep saying that they've now got it in hand. Rubbish! Local MP Ellie Reeves knows about it. Go ahead and email her please, as I've been doing! ([email protected]) I'm heartily sick of the problem; it has tangible consequences for people when the mail is so unreliable!
    • Hi all, just jumping in to help clear up some confusion around CityHive London C.I.C. CityHive is a not-for-profit Community Interest Company (CIC) that supports food banks, soup kitchens, and community hubs across London and surrounding areas. It operates in the same space as respected organisations like The Felix Project, City Harvest, and Fareshare. The key difference? Those larger organisations often receive big grants and corporate funding — but they’re able to do that because they pay professional bid writers to apply for those grants. And guess what? Bid writers aren't free. They’re often paid staff or consultants, which smaller groups like CityHive simply can’t afford. Instead, CityHive runs on the kindness and generosity of individual people — everyday donors, volunteers, and fundraisers who believe in what they do. Some have asked why a food-related group would need money. It’s important to understand: Money is essential for things like: Fuel and van hire to deliver food Buying fresh ingredients and shelf-stable items Renting storage space Basic admin to keep things organised and running smoothly If you’re ever unsure about someone fundraising for CityHive, you can always contact their office to verify. They’re happy to provide reassurance. If you want to see the impact of their work, check out their Instagram: @cityhivemedia. You’ll see the real organisations and people who benefit, showing their appreciation publicly. Not everyone can give money — and that’s totally fine. But even a like or a share goes further than criticism. Sadly, it feels like there are more haters than helpers out there right now. If you’re genuinely curious or concerned, ask for proof — and when it’s shown, help spread the good. Don’t just assume the worst about people trying to make a difference. Let’s be louder with love than we are with doubt. 💛
