Tuesday 26th June

Brian Taylor demolished the field of 22 with a winning 41 points to win the T.Anderson Five Clubs Trophy. David Low returned a creditable 37 points.
The weather was possibly the best we have enjoyed this year.
Next Wednesday is our away match against Brampton and Joe is short of at least one player as reserve. Please get in touch with him if you can help out.

Update

Grant's ankle might have a small bone broken but x-rays won't tell until the swelling has gone down.
Our home match against Brampton has been rearranged for Thursday 13th September

Powfoot Match Result

Bright and breezy today with a good 6 - 2 win. Positive comments about the super condition of the greens and a good meal. Unfortunately our captain of the day Grant Anderson couldn't enjoy it as he turned his ankle badly in Duffers and got carted off in an ambulance. Not sure how long before the hospital determines the severity of the injury.

Tuesday 19th June

Twenty four was the ideal number of players for today's Walters Greensome competition, drawn pairs playing off half combined handicaps. Joe Holmes and Joe Penrice turned in an impressive 44 points, two ahead of the next best score.
Thursday is our match against Powfoot and next Tuesday we play with five clubs for the Tommy Anderson Cup.
I'm sure we all send best wishes to Geoff Waite and Geoff Scott who are both going through a rough patch health wise.

Brampton Match

Both match secretaries decided in the interests of safety it was better to deter people from driving in atrocious conditions and fortunately we were able to contact most of our team to prevent an unnecessary trip. The match will be rearranged for some future date. Watching the weather from the clubhouse at 11.00am reinforced the sensible decision. Next Tuesday is the Walters Greensomes competition.

Tuesday 12th June

Bright and breezy conditions for today's Norton Cup and the sixteen who played. David Low came second with 42 points and myself first with 45. The rock hard fairways were worth an extra 50yds run for anyone who could hit them.
Welcome to Tony Sher who joined last Tuesday.
Thursday is our match against Brampton and the forecast isn't too promising.
