I'm heading out to London in late June to go to Wimbledon, and I'm hoping to get a round in while I'm out there. Any one from around the area or who has golfed there before have any suggestions? I won't have a car, so I'll either use the Underground (is this possible with golf clubs?) or take a cab, so it can't be too far outside the city.

Thanks!

When my son was in School in London I visited a few times and played some great golf courses. Surrey and Berkshire, south west of London have many excellent courses. A few that I would suggest are Woking, Worplesdon and New Zealand. These are classic English heathland courses and are among the finest in England. They are old, traditional, pretty and fun to play. At New Zealand I used Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's locker. These courses are relatively short but still challenging due to the heather. You can take a train ( I think from Victoria Station) and then a short cab ride from the train station to the course. If money is no object and you want to play the greatest heathland course there is (IMHO), play Sunningdale -Old. You can get a deal by playing both courses at Sunningdale. It's about 225 GBP ($450) to play both courses (and worth it.) Otherwise, the other three I mentioned are a lot less expensive.

i will ditto Sunningdale...play it if you are going all the way over there. It's about 20 minutes outside of town, but worth it. Well worth it. If you email their club secretary right away, he can probably hook you up. You need to give them about a month advance notice though.

    • Day 51 (yesterday was 50, not 59 -- that was a typo).  I didn't have a ton of time today.  I hit a dozen balls with a 6-iron in my practice room.   Amazingly, after this I did the ShotScope analysis of yesterday's round;  my approach play was at the 5 hcp level.  That's pretty darn good, but unfortunately for my score, some of that came from hitting a few good recovery shots.  But I also hit some really good approach shots that weren't from trouble!

    • Day 295 6-26 Low point control with towel again. Getting better but not swinging fast enough tonight. 
    • Shot a 37 today! Palmer Course, PGA National. Really fun. 6/9 GIR, no lost balls. The double and the bogey were both three putts from like 35 feet or so.  The birdie at the last was really fun. I stood over that fifteen footer and thought wow I’m really about to make this, aren’t I? And I hearted it. Really fun. It’s like 9000 degrees outside but I battled through it well. Good times. 
    • I had been in a bit of a slump for the month of June. Handicap index has slowly risen, and there were few sub-80 scores. Today was a different story at Leslie Park GC. Lots of solid shots, GIR's, up & downs, for a 77 (7.8 differential). As with most rounds, there were a few loose shots and crappy putts, but it was a good day.
