Focussing on improving the facilities of the current bit. A pro is starting in the new year, a new practise area is being set up and there's going to be footgolf.Have they given members any timelines on the "new bit" ??

I've seen the plans for the extended golf course. They look very good, hopefully it will be built very soon.
Who knows. Lots of good work going on on the current course and that's good enough for me.
Is the focus on the 'current bit' anything to do with the fact that the 'new bit' will not happen?Focussing on improving the facilities of the current bit.
Nor me, but I didn't understand the appeal of running either and now do that at least 3 times a week.Never understood the appeal of golf myself!
Often I don't, but it's kept me sane this year.Never understood the appeal of golf myself!
I have a friend who used to play golf, sadly due to the Big C, he's had to curtail it for a bit. He's always said you get a lot more exercise than most, due to the amount of walking you do. Personally, I don't see the attraction. But each to their own, I wouldn't knock anyone for their choice of sport.Never understood the appeal of golf myself!

That'll be a first...Cue a really funny post from Tilly that has everyone is stitches
Now I'm trying to work out who you are...Not sure who has been scammed here?
Not been told the whole truth? Sure, I think most members at SCGC have suspected that an 18 hole course won't happen for the last 10-12 years. They aren't stupid! However, most just couldn't care less as long as the current facility continues as it is. Why? Because its actually quite good, quite friendly and quite convenient for most.
None of the members have invested in the proposed course, they haven't lost any money. They have paid their subs and got a more than presentable facility in much the same way they did before the current owners/leaseholders/developers/investors took control in 2008....quite a good deal really.
There probably are some questions that need to be answered and things probably haven't been quite kosha,,,but as Lucy says, no-one gives a toss.
I'd like an 18 hole course, but the 9 we've got are good and the main thing is that it stays open. That is probably the biggest issue over the coming years.

Having watched Dark Star a few weeks back, I wondered if that was the origin of the name..?Now I'm trying to work out who you are...
@Withnail , you think I give a toss. I've been a member of the golf club for 25 years, and been around it all my life. It was 9 holes when I joined, if I wanted 18 so badly then I could have moved elsewhere.
Was the new bit ever going to happen? In 2004 probably. But I don't actually care.
It's nice to see I'm your latest 'conquest' though.
There's 18 different tees so in affect it is. I don't get my 3 hour (golf) rounds in with a visit to the bar after 9 though!It's 18 if you go round twice and if you do has the advantage of two visits to the clubhouse
Some of can remember Kingston Hill...And for those that want to moan about the golf course, if it ever goes they'll stick a few thousand houses on the space...
Maybe that's part of your game you could work on?There's 18 different tees so in affect it is. I don't get my 3 hour (golf) rounds in with a visit to the bar after 9 though!
