Although I say it myself, our Autumn meeting on 30 September was a great success. With rain, thunder and lightning forecast we had a beautiful warm sunny autumnal day. The course, the company and the food were a good foundation for a fun day.

It was appropriate that Tony Artis was able to join us. Tony successfully started Hertbeats Golf back in 2003 but was soon to move to Bournemouth and left yours truly holding the fort.  After something over 20 years it is time for change.  So I am delighted to report that Warren has agreed take over as organiser from 2027. I will be pleased to provide Warren with any help he may need.

The Hertbeats Golf Society Spring meeting will be on Wednesday 13th May. Please save the date.

We will be playing at Stockwood Park Golf Club and following our usual format of coffee and bacon roll, team golf and a two course meal.

Full details of the day to follow. Guests are welcome.

If you haven’t played with our informal golf group and would like to know more, please contact Vernon Clough at vclough42@gmail.com.

Please let me have an indication of your availability for this date, ideally by 31st January.

Our Autumn meeting at Stockwood Park was a little later than usual due to work being carried out on the course. 

However, after a dull start to the day, we were blessed with a bright sunny late morning and afternoon.  The autumn colours were just coming into their own. Sixteen players including our friends from Heart to Herts participated in a not too serious team competition. The golf was followed by a meal and recollections of the day’s events.

Our luck held out with a glorious day for our Spring meeting at Stockwood Park. We had a good turnout and followed our usual format of coffee, bacon roll, golf and a two course meal. As previously, we played a “Texas Scramble” in teams of four. The informal golf was followed by prize giving and copious banter. A good day was had by all. 

We had our Autumn Meeting at Stockwood Park on September 25th. We were lucky to have a pleasant dry day during a week of heavy rain. Our day started with coffee and a cholesterol free bacon roll. Sixteen players, including a small contingent from Heart to Herts, the Hemel Hempstead cardiac support group, played on the day. A team competition, played in teams of four, ended with only five points separating the four teams. Congratulations  to Ron Jesson’s Hertbeats team who narrowly won by one point. The golf was followed by a meal, convivial banter and concluded with prize giving.

We now have a period of hibernation and emerge in the Spring of 2025 to renew our golf activities. Watch this space!
