Tuesday 29th November

Unfortunately an overnight frost meant we had to play on temporary greens although the day was quite pleasant. Willie Smith looked to be home and dry with 44 points but Geoff Scott came in with the last group and 46 points. Noteworthy that if it hadn't been for a group of visitors in front the first three three balls would have gone round in less than three hours although the hold up wasn't too bad.
If you fancy winning a year's membership for a fiver, enter on the sheet in the lounge and the draw will be done this coming Saturday.

Thursday 24th November

Seventeen scraped the ice off their windscreens and turned up to play fourteen holes on temporary greens. 89 years young John Dixon must have set some sort of age record by winning with 34 points, with David McCrum one behind.

I'm told that Bob Saunders is as bright as a button but therapy is likely to keep him in hospital until the new year and our thoughts will be with Harry Wright as he goes to Newcastle for major surgery on Monday.

Tuesday 15th November

Two outstanding scores of 41 and 40 from Ian Hind and Joe Penrice were well ahead of the other twenty three with three holes shortened due to on going drainage work.
Eddie Varah will soon have to undergo major surgery and I'm sure we all wish him well and a speedy recovery.

Thursday 10th November

Twenty took part in favourable conditions for the time of year although the majority of scores were nothing to write home about. Jim Gilfillan won with 37 points followed by Tony Davis with 34.

Tuesday 8th November

The forecast rain didn't arrive until after 4.30pm, allowing fifteen of us to play in calm, chilly conditions. John Gibson's generosity towards helping him celebrate a "Hole in One" at the ninth was appreciated by everyone who attended the 19th and two excellent scores of 40 points took the money with David Low having a better back nine than Clive Milburn.
Sad to report that Bob Saunders remains in hospital after suffering a stroke last week but on a brighter note Robin Binny is back in action again.

Tuesday 1st November

Despite the course drainage work starting only two holes (7th and 15) were affected, both being reduced in distance. The bright conditions attracted twenty three to take part, Tony Davis winning with 35 points and David Frith second with 34 by virtue of the best six holes.
