Hadley Wood Golf Club.Whenever golf clubs are discussedprejudice is never far away. Images ofpompous men in blazers, old fashioneddress codes and unequal treatment ofwomen may spring to mind. Is it fair? Wellin the spirit of those seekers after the truthcharacterised by our nationalnewspapers, the News decided to havea look at the Hadley Wood club.Its history can be found in the excellent

booklet ‘Hadley Wood. The story of aGolf club’ written by local resident PatTaylor. To briefly summarise, the mansionhouse was built in 1781 on land originallypart of Enfield Chase, the estate laterbecoming known as Beech Hill Park. By1850 it had passed into the hands ofCharles Jack generally considered thefounder of Hadley Wood. After variouschanges in ownership and usageincluding farming and a wartime trainingground for the Royal Fusiliers, themansion and land was bought by theEconomic Insurance Co Ltd. part of theFurness Withy shipping line. Key peopleinvolved were two men from WestHartlepool, Walter Warwick and FrederickLewis (later Lord Essendon). Eventuallypart of the land and the mansion were

converted to a golf club and the (to be)famous Alister Mackenzie asked todesign the course. Mackenzie was bornin Yorkshire of Scottish parentage. Hewas asked to leave his club in Leedshaving had an affair with the Captain’swife but thereafter designed some of themost outstanding golf courses in theworld including Augusta and CypressPoint in the USA.So what is the place like? I thought I

would start with the General Manager.Golf Club managers used to be retiredColonels with tempers to match. Not soours. Bill Beckett is a large and friendlySouth African. I asked him what the clubwas like. ‘Well’ he said ‘It is absolutelytop class. Take a look out of the window’.I did. Acres of green sward and trees asfar as the eye could see. Lakes reflectingthe sunlight. Not bad? Glorious. Wasjoining expensive? ‘There is no joiningfee but the annual membership fee isabout £1800. We have around 600members which meanseasy access to the course’.Exclusive? ‘Not in any way atall’ says Bill. ‘We interviewpotential members but it isjust really a way to meetthem and make sure theyknow which end of a golfclub is which. Once in theclub a newcomer has toplay some rounds withexisting members. Thisensures they have an ideaabout the rules and can geton with people’. Doesanyone get asked to leave?‘It does happen’ admits Bill.

‘Rarely though. It is usually persistentcheating’. Throwing your golf bag in thelake in a fury is not really approved of butonce is usually enough for most people.Especially if their car keys are in the bag.What about dress codes? ‘Well we dohave a code’ says Bill. ‘No jeans in theclubhouse for example. We thinkmembers appreciate this. It sets astandard and stops the place lookingscruffy. We believe that wearing areasonable outfit has a positive effect onbehaviour’. So what is special about theclub? Bill ticks off a few points.‘We are one of the top 200 golf clubs in

the country, golf is possible all the yearround, good technology andcommunications, excellent and welltrained staff, popular with Golf Societies.We are also very environmentallyconscious. ‘How’s that ?’ I interrupt. ‘Well, we have introduced wild lifecorridors, take great care of our streamsand lakes (they even have newt counts),

and allow wild areas todevelop in order toencourage insect and wildlife. You will often see foxesand deer on the course aswell as a huge variety ofbirdlife. In 2009 we received amajor environmental award.But you should talk to Simonabout that’ (Simon Grand isthe Head Greenkeeper). Wealso do our best toencourage young people tojoin. There are now about 60young members paying only£175 a year’. The phone isringing. I retreat and check in

at the pro shop supervised by the HeadProfessional Peter Jones. Peter and histwo colleagues Paul and Alistair run theshop and do all the teaching. They arefine golfers in their own right and teachwith great skill and patience. I ask Peterhow long on average it takes for abeginner to learn to play golf. Peter thinksfor a moment. ‘Probably from six toeighteen months to reach the stagewhere you are given an official handicap.Then you are able to join in thecompetitions. As with everything elseprogress depends on the amount of timeyou have available for lessons andpractice’. Next on the list is the ClubCaptain. I track him down to the lounge.Sam Husain. Born in New Delhi in 1947Sam spent the first year of his life movingto Pakistan with his family during thePartition of India. Sam’s father was thena doctor attached to the Indian Air force.Accepting a last minute offer of a lift byplane to Peshawar, Sam and his familymissed the train they were to havetravelled in. It was ambushed and manylives were lost. The family recovered and

some years later he moved to England.There he made the very sound decisionto train as a Chartered Accountant in thefine city of Manchester. Currently he isCEO of Foyles. (His niece by the way isthe lovely BBC presenter Mishal Husain).‘Whats the club like Sam?’. ‘Nice’ hesays ‘Great course. It is also friendly. Asan example we have a sign up sheetbefore the weekend competitions.

Members do not play with the samegroup of friends all the time but simplyadd their names to the list wherever thereis a space. So we all meet a wide rangeof people in the club’. Old fashioned?‘Well’ he says ‘change is always achallenge but it is steadily happening.Standards are high. Mind you we havehad a few battles’. The new TV set on thewall looks down at us in blank agreement.Next is the Lady Captain. Migs Earle.‘What it like here Migs’ I ask ‘Well’ shereplies ‘I always had rather a bad

impression of the club but actually I wasquite wrong. I joined with my husbandabout five years ago. I was an absolutebeginner. But I had some lessons withPaul (one of the professionals), playedrounds with some long suffering friends,practised and was eventually given ahandicap. Once that happens you canjoin in the competitions and then youprogress rapidly. Everyone was very

helpful. As regards male chauvinism Iwould say it is on the way out. History.There are about 80 ladies playing here. Ithink we are definitely on equal terms withthe men. There is always a bit of banterthough. As you know we have a matchevery year between the men and thewomen. St George v The Dragons. Andyou know who the Dragons are.’ Unableto imagine anyone less like a dragon thanthe Lady Captain I leave the club via theentrance hall and check the noticeboards. Team sheets. Scratch team (thebest players in the club), Club side(medium standard) Herons (Seniors)Ladies teams. Social events. On onesheet men and women members haveput their names down to play together inthe Mixed Friendly matches against otherclubs. For me, that sums up the club.Mixed and friendly.Rod Armstrong

Message fromWestminsterThe phone hacking scandal dominatedthe last weeks of Parliament before thesummer recess. Apart from joining in thecondemnation of the actions andomissions of News Corporation, I raiseda wider issue about the public'sresponsibility during the urgent debatewhen Parliament was recalled. Whilst thepublic is rightly outraged at the hacking ofphones belonging to victims of crime, thepublic needs to take the opportunity tolook in a mirror and ask why there is suchan insatiable interest in the private lives ofothers which feeds the media beast wenow wish to slay. We need to not onlyprevent unlawful media activity butsupport a change in culture and valueswhich promotes the pursuit of truth andintegrity in the media. The most obviousway we can do this is as consumersmaking the decision to not buy or click onto media which exploits and underminesindividuals to feed prurient rather than

Barnet Market.Now over 800 years old Barnet markethas had its ups and downs. Currently it issuffering a down period. Hopefully notdown and out. Its history with somewonderful old photos can be seen on theFriends of Barnet website from which thissummary is taken. In 1199 King Johnissued a charter for the market which wasoriginally situated at the fork in the road

between what is now the High St andWood St. Later St Johns Church was builtimmediately to its north. Nearly finishedoff by the black death in 1350 the marketthen flourished and by the end of the 16thcentury was London’s biggest meatmarket. Gradually the main road to theNorth through Barnet became busier andthe blockage caused by the market at thetop of Barnet Hill became a problem. Itwas therefore re-sited at the junction ofthe High St and St Albans Rd. By 1899 itwas a very busy cattle market managedby Bill Harding Young a local estate agentwho was absolutely dedicated to itssuccess. It continued in this role untilAugust 1959 by which time the cattlemarket had declined. It then became thestall market we all enjoyed, with up to 50stalls. Eventually in 1999 it was sold, astipulation being that the site mustcontinue as a stall market for 15 years (ieuntil 2014). Nothing much happened untilin 2005 the new owners were grantedplanning permission to re-develop thearea with the market on the ground floor,fourteen flats above and a car park for 27cars below. The stalemate continued untilJanuary 2008 when the market had tomove to the cramped quarters of theStapylton Rd car park to allow work to bedone on the site. They returned inNovember 2009 to a much reduced site

with a very rough and unsuitable surface,difficult for the elderly and impossible formothers with prams or buggies. In July2011 an extension of the planningpermission was applied for. At an angrymeeting in Hendon with seventysupporters of the Market crammed intothe council chambers the extension waspassed by one vote but only for a furthertwo years (very close to the time when thecovenant stipulating continuation of themarket expires). At this meeting the localBarnet MP Theresa Villiers deplored theten year stalemate. ‘I am concerned thatthe development proposed in the currentplanning consent would not provideadequate facilities to traders for parking,loading, unloading and storage. I alsowant to see the uncertainty surrounding

Gardening Tips for August

Due to the changing climate and weather, plants have beenparticularly affected by pests and disease. Thriving plantsare better able to resist problems, therefore it is important tomaintain a healthy garden. There are several ways in whichyou can ensure plants remain in top condition. Take care tochoose plants that are suited to each aspect of your gardenand to local conditions. It is rare to find perfect soil beforeplanting so prepare it well. Pay attention to watering andfeeding your plants so that they do not suffer from insufficient

or excessive water or nutrients. It is essential to weedregularly so that your plants do not have to compete with fastgrowing invaders for water and light.Diseases such as bacteria, fungi and viruses are

opportunists and some infect weak plants through existingwounds. Plants that are overgrown or planted too close toeach other often become weak and sickly with elongatedshoots as they fight for light. To avoid this, prune outcongested growth, divide herbaceous perennials and allowroom for growth.darrensmithgardens@yahoo.co.uk
