Well the golfing season is really under way now iv been getting up the
range a couple of times a week then getting on to the putting area,
I do think its helping me a lot.Well last sat the 12th saw the Boars Head
Centre golf team which i was lucky  enough to get in to play in what
we call an Exclusive match. This is for the cat 2 and cat 3 players at the
golf club as the lower handicapers get the chance to play in the pav which
my son Tom plays in, and I usually caddie for him.Anyway back to our game
me and my partner Ray Sargent won our match 5@4 and then we won a
another hole as well to make it 6 holes, as at the end it can all come down
to hole count. At the end of the day we beat them we won all our games bar
one which was a bit of pay back as Littlehamton beat us last year must admit
with out trying to sound big headed I was hitting the ball very well.

Now on to this week our course is a 9 hole course and we also play in a 9
hole league. This week we were at Peacehaven  which is never easy its a tuff
course made worse that it at the top of a hill on the coast and if its windy its
wind. The weather was loveley bit of breeze and sun as my head shows.
To say we got battered isn't the word we lost 5@0  good me and my partner
for the day Dave Heslop lost 4@3 which wasant as bad as what  it could of been
as we was 7 down after 9 so not a good day.

I am captian of the Boars Head Golf Centre pubs and clubs side well i wasn't
there for our monthly game as it was my wife Chris birthday but my well trusted
team of Mick,Ray,Bill and andy done me proud by winning our 1st match lets
do the same next month well done lads.

Hope everbody is well in this wet weather and you are managaing to
get out and have a knock. We had our monthly medal on Saturday I was a bit
excited as I had put a lot of work in up the range and on the putting
green.  I was looking foward to putting all that practice to the test well
it didnt start well, we started on the 9th tee I hit my drive straight up the middle.
When we got there we couldnt find it think it was plugged somewere it was that
wet out there. Came away with a 7 not a good start. I go on to put a 9 and
another 7 and come off the course with an 88 net 72 and came 3rd so all in
all I was pleased how it went apart from 3 holes. Well back up the range now
im going away from my golf now to do some plugs for some very good friends
of mine if you dont mind but please carry on reading.

Where to start
  Well with my knee I supose. The good news is it seems to be getting better, but im still
  getting some pain but not as I did have so just a case of a pain killer now and again.
   Back to see the specialist in a month or so to see were we go next.

  Well yesterday sat 21st was the start of our 9 hole league games I really look foward
  to this every year and try and get my name down for it .Its allways a good crack, this
  month we played away to newcomers Hever Golf club in Kent on their Princes
  course. I  had never played this one but have played the other course they have there.
  If your ever down or arond that way I would recomend it. Our captain
  Mick Grombrige had picked a strong side I was out with Andy Manktelow which was
  great for me, you can have a right laugh with him. We  were 2nd out so we shook hands
  with our openents and off we went. A par 4 to start with we win this hole with me getting a
  par. 2nd is a par 4 as well Andy pars this but we only manage a half on here as they get a
  shot. Next hole is a par 3 over water very tight but what a lovely looking hole 165 yards,
  off the whites,  wind blowing left to right so i choke down on my seven wood it lands not far 
  from the pin.  Im well happy so is Andy cos he had duffed his shot so we won this hole as
  well. We are dove tailing really well as Andy halfs the next hole. As we are coming down
  the 5th all their is down the left hand side is water then Andy informs me thats the next
  hole a par 3 184 yards all over water stroke index 1 but what a loveley looking hole so
  our two openents lay up, Andy goes for it, duffs it, I step up wackit it lands  right edge of the green well
  happy, but we still end up halfing it.Anyway at the turn we are 3 up we played the front 9
  really well we got ourselfs a cup of coffee and then it seemed to go down hill for us but we
  were still playing really well but they had just got better. At the end of match we had lost our
  game 3-1 they played out of their skins back 9 well done lads end of the day we had lost 4 of
  our matches and won 1 not a good start to to the league  but plenty more matches to go
 well do better next time Mick.

  Nearly at an end now but just like to say a big well done to Mr Ian Halliwell our TSG captain
  on the Golf Channel Tour out in Florida at the moment with a 3rd and 2nnd out their keep it
  going mate your playing well ow and Happy Birthday for the 28TH i think it is if not i do
  apologise but i know its round that time good luck mate

  And lastly i promise
  Id like to say a big big well down to my wife Chris who has just got a place at university
  to do a teaching degree. Well down darling im very very proud of you more than i can say

Thank you for taking the time to read my blogs it appreciated.
   Well the knee is getting better, still getting pain but not as much thank god.  Have been 
   going up the range and doing a bit of work up there. Been out a couple of times and played
   as well. Didn't do to well  with my new driver a Taloyormade Burner  found I couldn't get on 
  with it so back to the old one for the time being. Enough golf for a min so the wife  comes 
  home a while ago and says Rog she only calls me that when she wants something lol
  Rog she says again so I sais yes hun what you want she says we are doing a project at
  school about the olympics and para;olympics would I do a talk for the kids. So i said yes but
  it would be better if the kids asked the questions and thats what they did.It was lovely to do
  the questions they asked were brilliant  they wanted to  k now everything it was a pleasure to do.
  Well back to the golf I played in a Disabled Golf Socitey day at Mardyke Valley Golf Club in
  Essex and can I say what a lovely course it is and recormend it to anyone, We had a lovely
  threeball my sonTom and a new face to me Mark Walters from Folkstone smashing bloke Mark
  struggled the front 9 and only had 9 points Tom 19 and me 17 so onto the back nine Mark changed
  his ball and it was a totally different Mark par on the tenth and finised on the 18th with 19 points 
  to finish with 28. Well done Mark. Good back 9 Tom had 17 +19= 36 well done Tom and me 18+17=35
  so at the end of the day Tom came 1st but as it was a disabled event the result was
  1st Roger Hurcombe 35pts on count back
  2nd Keith Dolman      35pts
  3rd Mark Walters       28pts
  But a big well done to everybody that was there today top golf. Well thats me about done now so 
  hope your not to bored. just one last thing im on twitter now if you fancy following me on there as well
           @peglegrog64
 
       cheers guy & gals for takeing the time to read this

Hi Everbody 
   Firstly apologies for taking
 so long to get this blog out well. Id like to say a big
   thank you to all the well wishies before i went in to hospital. It was a bit touch
   and go as to whether I was going in or not had a phone call on the wednesday to say they
   might not have a bed for me. We will ring you in the morning oh well ok thanks about
   8 o clock the phone rings sorry Mr Hurcombe we still dont know if we can get you in there
   has been a nasty accident we will ring you back in an hour. Great i thought I wont be going
   in. Half nine phone rings are Mr Hurcombe would you like to come down thank god for that
  so off we go. On the way down we see the remains of the accident earlier it was nasty.
   Had surgeon come and see me and explain what he was going to do and
  put an arrow on my leg so they dont get the wrong one which is a joke when you only
  have one.So down we go wake up about half four they take me up to a ward but all i want
 to do is go home after a while and very reluctentley they let me go. Iwent back and saw the
  surgeon after a week he  told me what he had done and not what i was hoping not good news
  really my knee is really knackered and im still getting a lot of pain and wont see the surgeon
  for three months will keep you informed well now on to the golf if your not bored.


   Well Id been able to get a couple of games in before we headed off to Five Lakes in Essex
   where I had been asked to captain the Europen team. So on the sunday me and my vice
   captain Brendon set off  we travelled up together as we dont live that far from each other.
    After a couple of hours we were there not to far for us.
    Its  was great to see friends and the banter is already starting so we grab a coffie and wait
  for the rest. Well now we are putting the teams in the four ball we had was great four ball as if it
  was the four of us on our own me Brendon; Andy Gardiner  and our good mate Tony Lloyd.
   Me and Tony had our usual bet, a fiver which i can gladly say I took the honours this time
  cheers Tony. But give the old boy his dew he had the shot of the day on the 10th a par three were
  he put it to within a foot of the flag knocks in his birdy for four points. Well done mate . What
  could I say about the course not a lot, I think it was not in good condition the fairways were bad
  the greens were bad.  I hoped the course for the next day was not that bad. Couldnt  even
  say the food was good because  it wasn't.  Standings for day one were
  England
  Europe
  Wales
   Day two im in the last group another great four ball Ben ; Dave and Neil. All four of us struggeled
  on the first hole we all blobed good start, and yes my worst fears this course was not a lot better. The
  greens where a little better but not a lot so the final standings were
  England
  Europe
  Wales
  Well done England and a big big thank you to my team Europe guys but a well done to everyone
  and great to see you all and see you all again soon 

  Well hope you havnt been to bored
      Happy golfing  PegLegRog

    P.S all the best to my good friend and TSG captine Mr Ian Halliwell who is of to play in some
    comps in America good luck mate and keep us informed
