Kingsdown Golf Course

A Memory of Kingsdown.

I lived in the house the other side of the trees on the right hand side of the picture. 1963-1981.
My father (Bill) worked on the farm which was adjacent to the golf course.
We often had golf balls through our kitchen window and over the high wall which enclosed our garden. A bit worrying when you think there is a road between the course and our house . Eventually the course layout was altered slightly so it didn't happen quite so often, but we still had the odd rogue ball right up until the 1980's. I often wonder if it still happens. Or maybe the quality of the golf played there is better these days.
The club house now is unrecognisable from that in the picture - the trees are the only thing that is still there.
