 This well-maintained course, owned by Medway Council, is designed in the traditional pitch and putt style, and comprises a wide variety of challenging holes, none of which exceed 70 metres in length.  The terrain is hilly, making distances difficult to judge and directional accuracy off the tee vital. 

The relatively small greens are mostly undulating and can be hard to read.  Despite its overall length of only 982m, the course certainly provides a stern test for even the best of players.

Snodhurst Bottom is unusual in that it has no bunkers, although other ‘hazards’ proliferate in the form of severe sloping away from the greens, and plenty of trees, bushes and areas of long grass.

The surrounding area is both historic and beautiful.  The course is situated on the outskirts of Chatham, site of the historic Royal Dockyard; and is only a few kilometres from Rochester, a city with a Victorian atmosphere which houses the second oldest cathedral in England and a famous Norman castle.  Just outside the town are the rolling hills of the North Downs of Kent, an area of attractive countryside known as ‘The Garden of England’.  The county contains many prestigious golf courses.  Chatham is easily accessible by motorway from all major London airports, and there are rail connections to London located only 2.5 km from the course.

The club is managed by Dave Gabriel and Joe Hammell, who organise a number of competitions throughout the year for local players.  The dress code and style of the club is informal, and club regulars are friendly and welcoming.

For most of the year, the club provides fairly basic facilities, but for the Open Championship changing rooms are being made available, and a bar serving food and drink will be opened for the players, their guests and other visitors.  For anyone planning to play here, I hope you enjoy what the course has to offer and can return home saying you have mastered it.

The newly founded organizations English Pitch and Putt and Association Suisse de Pitch and Putt are looking for growth and development in their respective countries.

Match International “Quadrangular” registration details

Here is a snapshot of some of the highlights…

The gala dinner last night was exceptional one of the best meals most of us had ever eaten and the presentation of the teams was impressive and often moving. The dinner was presided by the regional sports secretary, a former lady world long jump champion and record holder of Cuban origin.

The annual general meeting of IPPA went well and we now have an ambitious strategic development plans which augers well for the future.

We have high hopes of attracting half a dozen supporting members in the coming weeks which will swell our ranks significantly, especially as many of these should qualify for full membership relatively quickly.

We are now securing our sound foundations as a bonafide, fully legally registered international sporting organisation with the recognition of major international bodies and IPPA will be having meetings next week with the R&A.

We are preparing a handicap management system which should prove a useful tool for newcomers.

The rich fixture list for 2010 has now been finalised and looks attractive. It includes 5 National Opens, a “commemoraive” quadrangular match, (France, Italy, Portugal and Spain) and a splendid conclusion with the Iberic Open in Portugal in November.

For 2011, we hope to include an official World Team Championship and a World Seniors Individual Championship.

Our annual report 2009 is now available and it’s an attractive document, clearly stating who and what we are.
