Handicap Adjustments

 Just for information, the scores recorded for general play yesterday have given an extra yellow tee one shot allowance to David Frith, John Parker and Vince Ross.

Thursday 6th October

Fourteen took place in today's inaugural trial for everyone to enter a general play score for handicap. Not the best conditions with a strong west wind  resulting in Clive Milburn and myself having the two winning 31 point scores. Lucky Clive beat me on the last 6.

It will be interesting when the updated WHS indexes come on line tomorrow to see the effect on the stroke allowances of those who played.

Another AGM decision intended to make our games more inclusive was to permit those who wish to, to play off the green tees for the full round. Designed for those who struggle with the carries the course has no par 5s and a slope index of 112.

Congratulations to Steve Whitehead on reaching another birthday and appreciation for his generosity in inviting everyone to help him celebrate the occasion.

AGM

Fairly well attended despite the poor weather, the main resolution passed was a trial period requiring everyone to register a general play handicap score via the computer every Thursday.

Brian thanked Willie for his committee service and welcomed Gilmour as his replacement. Subs remain at £5 and are now due.

Our most senior member Tommy Neilly was invited to present our trophies to the winners.

The Secretary's and Treasurer's reports will be incorporated on our web site in due course.

Tuesday 4th Competition

A bit late notice but in view of the poor weather forecast and the early start is has been decided to postpone the Brindley Salver to some later date.

The AGM will commence at 2.00pm. 

Thursday 29th September

Appreciation to Clive Milburn for inviting today's twenty two players to celebrate his birthday. Owen Swift had the best back six of 37 points (26 - 22) relegating Eddie Varah to second place (15 - 13). Clark Black and myself got two shots back.

Our thoughts are with Willie Smith who has tested positive and also to one of his Tuesday playing partners Tony Davis who had to retire feeling poorly today.

Should next Tuesday's competition be postponed through inclement weather, our AGM will commence at 2.00pm. The tee is reserved from 9.00am should anyone wish to play.

Tuesday 27th September

Thanks to Gilmour for compiling today's results.

Owen Swift was the winner with 39 points (30 -26) and John Wraight second with 37 (9 - 7). Conditions were dry, breezy and fast greens.

Congratulations to a worthy winner John Parker who scuppered my chances on the seventeenth.
