Bunkers visited Tylney in April for the first time. It's a classic parkland course, beautiful land with mature trees and really peaceful. Not a course for the beginner. The course was a really good test and in excellent condition, especially the difficult greens. The fairways are quite narrow and the rough is rough! This punished those who were anything less than accurate with their strokes. There are an abundance of mature trees which add to the hazards but also add a lot to the ambiance of the course too. Although the clubhouse was poor from the outside it had a nice feel inside and the members were friendly. They have plans to build a new club house that will fit in with its surroundings and "Tylney Hall" which is next to the course.
The day proved a milestone for Bunkers, the first hole in one for over 11,600 strokes. Well done Ray S.

The above showing Ray Steele standing on the 17th with the nearest the pin marker in the hole!
And just in case no one believed his wild stories of achievement, the card was snapped as a momento!
The nearest pin in 2 was also won in fine style with a chip in for an eagle by a new member on his 1st event, Peter Gray.
The Captain was so overcome with the amazing events and the surroundings that, although fines were plentiful, he didn't write anything down........ but Luke's shirt featured once again.
Bunkers will definitely try to add the course to its regular annual schedule!

Winner Peter Gray below in photo (sorry for the blurred vision!) with Captain Dave Shorter - minus trophy, as last years winner Paul Donlevy forgot to bring it. All that can be said is Macca will be fined heavily for that misdemenaor. Well done Peter on his first outing as a member!
And we could not pass up the opportunity to congratulate Ray for his hole in 1 over a few glasses of beer/spirits/wine/fruit juice (delete as applicable!).
