Reminder

A reminder that this coming Tuesday, 12th March, is the Bernard Keighley Cup which is a Bogey Competition. Everybody registers on the computer.

Thursday 7th March

Our efforts in 2023 to have more of our members register acceptable scores ( previously called Qualifying scores) have been congratulated by the Club. The increase in numbers attending on Thursdays was also very satisfying.  Today saw the first Thursday of the new season with the start of the Spring League.

21 registered to play. Dave Atherton came out tops with 39 points and Steve Whitehead was runner up with 38.

We were advised today that Woody is in hospital and we all wish him a speedy recovery. I am told his body is covered in wires for monitoring purposes but he is feeling fine. I hope that any sudden peaks in his printouts are all "pretty nurse" related.

Tuesday 5th March

Todays Texas Scramble was won by the team of Dave Atherton, Martin Fouracre and Gordon Shaw. ( 2 points deduction each. ) We had 22 participants who enjoyed a bright day and a fresh wind. 
Thanks to Clark Black for organising the event and donating the prize for the nearest the pin on the 9th which was won by John Wraight, Thanks also to Arthur for a refreshment after the game  as he admits to being another year older.

Thursday 29th February

22 played today in what were unexpectedly breezy and chilly conditions after we all started out in bright sunshine. The winner and second both had 35 points. Bob Fletton took the honour by having a better back 6 holes which included a 5 pointer on the 18th!! ( 30 down to 28 ) and Gerry Fisher goes from 16 to 15.

 

Thursday 22nd February

A very pleasant day enjoyed by 18 hardy golfers. Tony Davis triumphed with 38 pts moves from 23 to 19, Steve Whitehead 2nd (on countback) 36 moves from 16 to 14. Next Thursday is the last of the Winter League games, a big turnout could still affect the final league positions and who walks away with the prizes.
