Welcome
Welcome everyone to the fourth issue of Golfington (not quite) Quarterly. Regular readers of golfington.com will notice that the web site elves have been busy behind the scenes putting together a new, more modern-looking layout!
We bring you long-awaited news of North London Golfington Club’s new course in Highgate Wood, along with the history of golfington in the area and all the course details you could shake a racquet at. We round up with an essential selection of golfington bags to match your outfit and your occassion.
NLGC at Highgate Wood
The North London Golfington Club is very happy to announce the upcoming NLGC Challenge Cup on the 9th of September. This will be held at their newly recreated course in Highgate Wood.
Course designers have been poring over historical maps and other ancient documents to recreate a course in keeping with the way that golfington would have been played in the wood centuries ago.
The course takes players through areas that are interesting for both their natural beauty and their deep history.
Any players who are interested in entering, regardless of ability, please get in touch with the NLGC fixture secretary as soon as possible! For more information and history on the course, check the early release of the course page for Highgate Wood. Bear in mind that the course might change once our senior course consultant has had a careful look at it and the page will be updated to reflect that.
The Kit Room
In our first issue we reviewed the Carlton golfington bag and while this modern, spacious bag has many benefits it does suffer from one drawback: it probably won’t complement your carefully styled, vintage outfit. Here is a selection for those who like to keep their luggage on trend and matching.
These vintage racquet bags would match many a retro-styled outfit, especially anything featuring tartan!
Any outfit featuring more than a small amount of 1970s brown would welcome this bag as an accessory.
This Fred Perry bag combines modern convenience and spaciousness with vintage stylings, making it (and you) a winner all round!
Dream Venue Revisited
Back in Golfington Quarterly Issue 2 we featured a photograph of the staircases in The George Inn in Baldock. We can now confirm that golfington has finally been played there:
It isn’t big enough for more than two holes, but an interesting and slightly quirky venue nonetheless! Just don’t bother with the sausage for breakfast; it is barely edible.
Signing off
That’s it for now from Golfington HQ. Don’t forget to get in touch if you wish to play in the NLGC Challenge on the 9th of September!
