I was a member here about 30 years ago when it was overgrown and controlled by an old lady called Moira Fabes. I have to say the the restoration is looking incredible. It was long, long overdue. Congratulations to all concerned.
@@CookieJarGolf I had a listen and did really enjoy it. Ryan is very impressive. When I was a member the club felt frozen in time. It was eccentric and unique and some people loved it that way but a lot of people regretted the neglect of the course. Ryan is a real breath of fresh air.
A crying shame. I only play golf fleetingly but know a whole contingent of London based golfers who no longer play there due to the ‘restoration’. One of them, a keen golf historian, pointed to the fact that Abercrombie was acutely aware that courses have to develop over time to reflect current thinking. In fact, Abercrombie often commented that his designs should, in fact, be rendered a hair redundant (and encouraged the same) with the passage of time. The trees were the charm here. Notwithstanding, this golf society looks fantastic.

Enjoy it I suspect
