its an ok course for inner london, but the one at beckenham place park is far superior, i havnt played there for 2-3 years but it has a great clubhouse does a nice feed and the 19th hole is always welcome. i dont know if they still do it but there used to be a bloke driving around the course in a buggy selling snacks,sandwiches and drinks, he even when to the clubhouse one day to get me 20 fags,thats what i call service.
Tis the Aquarius. It's a bit of an odd course, worth going up to the clubhouse and asking for a look round as they are friendly bunch but I think it's ?300-400 which I thought waa bit steep. Beckenham is great. Really varied holes and some great challenges but the greens aren't always well looked after and you have to look out for hackers. I never sawa abloke in a buggy with a travelling tuckshop. Sounds good though. And their membership is a lot more reasonable.

The Aquarius is at the end of Marmora Road. Very friendly and un "cliquey". Greens pretty poor and in the summer it becmes very dry. A lot of Thames Water engineering work going on which affects layout of the course.


It has been there for well over 50 years - possibly longer.

Dulwich golf course can be joined if you are proposed by a member, if not a member then you have to have lessons with their golf pro who vets you, and then if you are willing to wear knee length socks when you turn up in shorts you will be proposed by him.

Beckenham place is a superb course and well tended. The greatest test is the first hole which is the toughest of the course. When you are teeing off there is often a queue of players waiting and judging your every move, and if you fluff your very first tee shot, it can be embarrassing. When I looked up after hitting it about 20 yards instead of the expected 200 to see that they had kindly turned their backs to face the clubhouse, whilst they all laughed up their sleeves. Allow 4 hours for the full 18 holes. I also had my only round of applause on any golf course for an accidental fluke of an eagle, on the final hole I chipped in from 60 yards out, up on to a raised green, where everyone sits to drink and recover after completing their round.

Dulwich course is cool no knee length socks needed, weekdays is all good. 9 holes bar then the other nine and it is all fine. just have respect and mind your manners and you will be fine. As for Aquarius it is technically Nunhead so Ed'ers go play on goose green with your tin cans.

EDF golf day is a great idea. (come on Mark sort it out)or Muttley you can organise it>

Just want to say that one the best courses to play that you dont have to be a member is Pedham Place. Its a little bit far out (just down the A2 where it hits the M25)Its a pay & play course ?20 a round or ?10 if you go after 1pm (I think)The course is fab and generally the grounds always dry(good natural drainage) Go play it boys and girls because a large corp will buy it one day because the layout is great and then you will have to pay fortunes to play it

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
