<div>Another golf trip has flown by, 5 days of testing courses and quiet evenings – blessed by warm sunshine and blue skies throughout as we planned!</div><div> </div><div>Our stay at Queens again went smoothly (4th time), all accommodation satisfactory, cuisine was excellent in the evenings, breakfasts good but again mostly "kept warm". Rooms were again generally comfortable if a bit tired on decor.</div><div> </div><div>Golf courses were all fine:</div><div> </div><div><b>Moors Valley</b> – good opener but not in top condition this time, due to recent wet weather we suspect.</div><div><b>Bulbury Woods</b> – first-time visit to a lovely parkland course, a stiff test for all standards, good facilities.</div><div><b>Dudsbury</b> – pleasant course in good condition, unfortunately very busy with a number of societies, resulting in a very slow round of nearly 5 hours.</div><div><b>Brokenhurst Manor </b>– first-time visit to another quality parkland course in good condition, sadly spoiled by member pressure from behind from start to finish.</div><div><b>Barton on Sea</b> – another new venture, a good test for our final day and a good one to finish with – lovely views and facilities.</div><div> </div><div>Each course provided comfortable facilities for drinks and were all hospitable. In particular, the 3 new courses were excellent choices</div>
