Last Saturday Friday I played with new members Ben Turner, Chris Smith and Christian Stroyberg. Christian has been a member for a couple of years but would like to play more weekday golf so please give him a call.
Here is a paragraph from Ben:
"Having played cricket to a high standard previously, I am a relative newcomer to golf. My golfing career started with somewhat nomadic golf in/around London and I often found myself with people pulling out at the last minute or simply not being able to play as often as I would have liked to. I joined West Hill in September this year, it has been a fantastic experience so far and I now know that I can always get a game! Unfortunately, being bound by work means that in the winter months I can only get down at weekends but when the days get longer again, I am hoping to be able to get down in the later afternoon. I'm always up for a game and having started out playing off 15, I'm going to be working pretty hard to get that down to single digits."
And here is some info from Chris:
"I'm 50 this year, married and have been for 28 years with Two "children" Thomas who is 28! and Gemma 25, live in Camberley and work for myself as a Mortgage Broker and have done since 1988 which is when I started playing golf. 28 Handicap for the first 15 years until lessons with Alan Barber over at Windlesham GC, that knocked 10 shots off which irritated the hell out of the societies when I pick up a load of trophies in that year! They soon bought me down, so that stopped.
Only played golf with Societies or friends who had memberships, this did include East Berks, Camberley Heath & Wentworth so not a bad list, I've played most courses in the surrounding area over the years including New Zealand, Swinley Forest, Berkshire, Foxhills, Worplesdon & Woking, and due to my son working there for a short period Queenwood once. I could add numerous lesser courses, I think the only big name missing is Sunningdale which I must sort soon. I have to say West Hill holds it's own amongst that lot.
I'm competitive which is one reason for choosing West Hill and look forward to playing as many competitions as time allows, I'm also very much available for any matches against other clubs next year."
On Sunday, I played with new members Alex Paramor and James Elliot and with James Willacy who has been a member for about 3 years. Alex joins us from Wentworth and James E was previously a golf student at Merrist Wood College. Alex and James E both play off 3 and will be additions to strengthen our scratch team whilst James W hit the ball fantastically off 7 handicap and pitched a 9 iron over the 9th green!!!
Here is a message from James Willacy:
"I joined West Hill three summers ago but haven't played enough competitions nor met many long standing members. This is something I plan to change and Sunday's game with Guy has reinforced this. I adore the course and love the challenge it presents, it's also absolutely beautiful. My handicap is 7 and has been 6 in the past - although I certainly need to be playing regularly to play to my handicap around West Hill! I learnt my golf in South Devon at Bigbury Golf Club, I'm still a member and the club is very close to my heart - my grandfather founded the club and my father has been a member since 1946. I was at university in St Andrews and played a lot of golf (mostly socially) there and also caddied on the Old Course for three summers. Certainly looking forward to getting more involved with the club and setting up some regular games".
Last Saturday, new members Andy Elliott, James Elliot, Chris Smith, Stephen Thwaites, Ben Turner and Keith Stanley pitched up for a new members roll up organised by Derek Plumstead. The winner was 3 handicapper, James Elliot. As we all know one of the fantastic elements of West Hill is our very open and friendly membership so please take note of all the names and faces below and invite them to join you for friendly games.
Junior Coaching
Greg's new junior programme is now fully up and running with a 10am and a 2pm class on a Saturday. It was great to see so many children having a great time at the weekend. Click here if you would like more information.
The first lady to be seen in our new stylish and warm ladies golf boots is Kathryn McKimmie. Would the black boots or the brown boots suit you better this winter???Well done to Kay Bowman who won the weekend stableford with a fantastic 40 points and was cut from 5 to 4. Second was Kathryn McKimmie with 34 points with Gina Rivett third with 32 points. Gina also qualified through a secretary's meeting at Hankley Common last week through to the grand finale at Hillside next year - well done Gina!!!
