Pickwick Bicycle Club Magazine Volume 15 No.2 October 2018 @12

Turning to the golf, we couldn’t have had better conditions either with the weather or
the course which was perfect for a society day. The fairways were dry with plenty of run
and the greens fast and true but tricky. The fist half of the course has a linksy feel to it
with very few bunkers whereas the second half is more parkland. It is like playing two
courses for the price of one. The third hole is a novelty with a cricket pitch in the middle
of the fairway, which is obviously quite wide, the wicket itself is GUR. Divot holes on a
length would not be a good thing! Golf club members miss this hole out at the weekend when
matches are being played. The golf turnout was better than last year with seventeen golfer
in all with five members playing. I am most grateful to our guests and those two members
who came just to dine and support the day. A big thank you to Mr Dumkins who, despite
being hors de combat, dined and was official photographer.
