“The sound of the singing bowl touches the deepest part of us and makes the soul resonate. The sound promotes relaxation, mobilises self healing and can release our creative energy.” Peter Hess
Are you searching for relaxation, regeneration, inner harmony? You could try a Peter Hess® Sound Massage. During a sound massage an atmosphere of safety and security is created in which it is possible to let go of everyday life. Gentle and harmonious sounds are absorbed and quickly lead to deep relaxation. The rhythmic sound vibrations are transmitted to the body and produce a subtle vibration which is a kind of “massage”. In this pleasant atmosphere the often circling thoughts can come to rest. These are prerequisites for health in the holistic sense and the basis for the creation of a joyful, self-determined and creative life. The (re)perception of one’s own body, the (newly) developing awareness of oneself is a gift to oneself!
Are you interested to enjoy the sound massage? Then explore it! Try the Peter Hess® Sound Massage! A sound massage is suitable for people of all ages, with or without disabilities. Individual sound massages, sound baths and sound journeys for single, couple or group sessions.
Would you like to give a Peter Hess® Sound Massage and a relaxing time? You could take a workshop to learn to give a Peter Hess® Sound Massage, to give a sounding and relaxing time. Our inner and outer harmony is threatened by everyday stress in all areas of life. The Peter Hess® Sound Massage is a very effective relaxation method: accumulated stress, everyday worries, uncertainties or blockades dissolve in the sound solution. This release is a good basis for revitalizing and strengthening the self-healing powers. After the first course of sound massage it is possible to offer your family, friends and acquaintances a relaxing sound massage. It is always a wonderful gift. Learning the Peter Hess® Sound Massage will also give you a sound and relaxing time for yourself.

WELCOME
“However your game is going at Blatchington, DON’T forget to look around, the surroundings will inspire you”
Seaford Golf Club is acknowledged as one of the oldest clubs in Sussex and has all the facilities you would expect from a first-rate golf club.
Seaford Golf Club, often referred to by Golfers from Sussex and further afield as, Blatchington Golf Course or simply as Blatch is renowned as one of the best downland courses in the South of England. The course features glorious panoramas of the surrounding Sussex Downs on one side and the picturesque English Channel on the other. It is located in Firle Road, East Blatchington, an historic Roman village that over the years has become merged with the town of Seaford itself.
The course can be played all year round and is always in great condition. Members, guests and visitors alike can be assured of a warm welcome and can enjoy the large terrace overlooking the 18th green, a lounge bar with local ales on tap, a snooker room, restaurant, meeting rooms, modern locker rooms, an all-day menu and much more.

It is where all the club’s social events are held, new friendships are made and old friendships are cemented. Our facilities also include a “Dormy House” where visitors can “stay and play” making it an excellent choice for a golfing break for those from further afield. Seaford has a proud history and its members are looking forward to an exciting future. Visit us, and we will happily show you why. SEAFORD GOLF CLUB | 5
HISTORY
Seaford Golf Club is the oldest Golf Club in Sussex. It was founded in 1887 at Seaford Head originally as a 12 hole course. In 1907 a dispute with a local landowner caused the club to move its location to Bullock Down, East Blatchington. The original course now forms part of the local council amenity. The new course at Blatchington was designed and built under the supervision of J H Taylor, one of the foremost golf architects of the time. It was opened with a 36 hole exhibition match between Taylor himself and fellow Open Champions James Braid and Jack White, along with Joe Cheal who was the Club Professional until 1950.
In the early years a 9 hole course was also established, however during the Great War these holes were turned over to agriculture and unfortunately not recovered when the war finished. Revisions to the original layout took place in 1911, 1930, and 1937 when the current plateau green was established at the 12th hole. Further changes were made in 1951 by John Morrison who was a design partner of the more famous Harry Colt. Now the course stands at 6,546 yards, has a challenging par 69 and standard scratch of 71.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Blatchington is acknowledged as one of the finest downland courses in the country. It is always a challenge, however different tee options and generous fairways mean it is playable for all. The course is set high above the English Channel on chalk, offering fantastic views of surrounding farmland, the Rathfinney Estate Vineyard, and the sea. The area drains very well, making the 18 holes playable throughout the year.
Our fairways are generous and the greens have subtle borrows with speeds optimised for downland conditions. The first four holes are lined with gorse and trees. You will do well to be playing to your handicap by the 5th hole. Here the course opens up, but don’t be fooled, there are strategically placed carries and traps as you climb the gentle gradient to the 9th tee which has the most wonderful vista of the English Channel, from Cuckmere Haven to the port of Newhaven.

ABOUT THE COURSE
Along the ridge of Bullock Down keep the ball right as it will be affected by the (usually) strong westerly wind at the 11th, 12th, and 13th, here you cannot fail to be impressed by the scale and beauty of the Rathfinney Vineyard. If your score is still going well having played the only par 5 16th, good luck with the last two holes! Although only 375 yards on the card, the 17th has wrecked many a round with its difficult drive, get through that and the clubhouse beckons with a similar dogleg home hole you will do well to par!
You can now relax in the clubhouse. If you have struck the ball well the course will have rewarded you, and if you have played near or to your handicap, you will feel that warm glow of a job well done. Blatchington is fun, it is beautiful, and it is kept in great condition. Designed by the legendary J H Taylor, and it measures 6,234 yards off the yellow tees. In our opinion, it’s exactly what a downland course should be and we are investing heavily in the course ensuring it is always in great condition.

COURSE TOUR
Hole 1 The wind plays a big part on this tee shot which should be down the left. An ideal line to take is the telegraph pole in the distance. The green slopes from back to front and be aware as downhill putts can be very fast!
Hole 3 Make a mental note of the wind direction before stepping on to this sheltered tee. Take enough club to avoid the deep front right bunker, at this well protected green which slopes from front to back.
Hole 2 This hole is one of the toughest on the course with the fairway sloping from left to right. Keep the ball up the left side to give you a better view of the green. The handicap player often has greater success if he plays this one as a par five.
Hole 4 The tee shot makes or breaks this hole. Aim your opener down the left where there is more room than you may think. This will give you a better view of the green which is well protected by a bunker on the right.
12 | SEAFORD GOLF CLUB
Hole 5 Hit the tee shot down the left as the fairway bunker can easily scupper any plans of making par on this challenging par four. Don’t be short with your second shot to the left side of the green, or you could be making bogey or worse! Hole 6 Decision time! The closer you get to the pit, the better. But putting the ball in the pit will leave you struggling to make par. The approach to the green should be to the right to avoid the tricky break.

Hole 7 This deceptively-difficult par three is one many players walk off with a spring in their step should three be made. It is protected all around by trouble. Some may choose to bail out to the right although a three is then a tough make.
Hole 9 Before you play stop for a moment and take in the view! Then take notice of the clubhouse in the distance as this is your ideal line. Land your approach shot short when the ground is firm as the green runs away from you.
Hole 8 Play your tee shot down the right side or you run the risk of your second shot being blocked out. If the flag is positioned at the back ensure you take enough club to get there, as this long green has many undulations.
Hole 10 For the long hitters a birdie beckons but be aware of the cross bunker short of the green. Others should play to a position up the left for a short iron approach to the green.

Hole 11 The first view of the Rathfinney Estate Vineyard, but this is no time to get adventurous as any tee shot left will run the risk of being Out of Bounds. Don’t miss the green left either. Staying right is all you need to know! Hole 12 Wind is a major factor on this deceptive par three which has a lot of dead ground in front of the green not seen from the tee. Take enough club and beware the two deep bunkers left and right.

Hole 13 Here is a chance to open up your shoulders on this long par four. The ideal line is at the marker post but depending on the strength and direction of the wind. However, starting just slightly left of the marker post, can make a dramatic difference to your second shot club selection. Hole 14 Hitting the fairway is more important than hitting it long. The fairway is shaped to make play as a dog-leg right. Whatever shot you play will leave you a tricky putt on an undulating green.
Hole 15 This is a long and testing par three. There is more room than you may think between the cross bunkers and the front of the green. So clear the bunkers and it may just run on! Better to be left due to the lie of the land. Hole 16 Keep your tee shot on the left side of the fairway, because the tall firs on the right, may make for a difficult second shot if you get out of position. The bunker short and right catches many an unsuspecting golfer. The approach needs to be longer than it looks to this deep green. SEAFORD GOLF CLUB | 19

Hole 17 There is Out of Bounds to the left but there is much more room that side than you may think. Any shot to the right of the barn will leave an obscured view for the second shot. Land the ball short of the green when the ground is firm as the land runs away from you.
Hole 18 Aim your tee shot at the copse of trees to the left of the clubhouse. This superb finishing hole needs a bold second shot to the well-protected green. Once there, hopefully, you will agree with many that you have just played a superb Downland golf course!
