Tuesday 27th November

The last fourball didn't get round quick enough to miss the rain but the other ten players were more fortunate. Brian Taylor won with 33 on countback against Harry Wright.
The sheet to pre-order your meal for our bottle trot on the 11th December is now on our notice board.

Thursday 22nd November

Icy cold, gloomy but at least flat calm for the twenty who turned up today. David Low won with 34 points, beating Tommy Neilly on countback. An example of vast improvements in medical science, Roger Cutts was able to visit us in the lounge after his very recent heart surgery and expects to be playing again by the end of February.

Tuesday 20th November

How bad can a day get? A howling gale from the east, freezing showers and a party of teenagers encroaching on our start time and taking 5.5 hours to play their medal competition. Those of us who didn't walk in played twelve holes, Joe Penrice and David Frith both scoring 24 points with Joe winning on countback.

Thursday 15th November

Colouring by Numbers (without the numbers).
Just eighteen enjoyed today's sunny conditions, Brian Taylor winning with 39 points two ahead of John Gibson.
Twenty five have put their names down for the Xmas meal so far so it looks like being a good day out.

Tuesday 13th November

Just enough light left for the last four ball of twenty five players to finish but the round took 4.5 hours. Using mats certainly doesn't seem to have helped or improved our average scores. A well deserved win for Charles Woodhouse with 33, the next best being John Gibson with 30.
We're informed that Roger Cutts has been transferred to Newcastle for surgery although he felt quite well after assessment at Carlisle. A worrying time for his family and we wish him well.
The menu for our Christmas bash is now on the notice board and early choices will assist our caterer.

New Bunker Rake

Tuesday 6th November

First of all our thoughts are with Roger Cutts who suffered a heart attack on Sunday but appears to be recovering well. Secondly thanks to Gerry Fisher who invited us to celebrate his birthday at the 19th hole.
David Low was the best of an exceptional turnout of thirty two with 39 points and Andy Edwards second with 38. Unfortunately the last four ball finished in near darkness and it is everyone's responsibility to remind playing partners to keep up with the game in front or let quicker players through.
Finally, a sheet is on the notice board for those  who wish to attend the Xmas bash commencing at 9am 11th December followed by a meal. Brian Taylor will run a Texas Scramble.

Thursday 1st November

Thursday seems to be getting more popular but unfortunately our 4.5 hour round meant I had to leave for an appointment before the final fourball got in. I'm informed that Tony Davis won with 35 points and Peter Taylor second with 34.
It was also our first opportunity to try the supplied mats now that mats are compulsory on all tees except par threes where the usual winter mats are fitted. I have mixed views on the design and wonder how long it will be before some turn up with there own piece of designer Axminster.
