Tuesday 10th June.

The speed of play of our greensome format, off the yellow tees, combined with visiting parties ahead of us meant that quite a bit of congestion occurred on many of the tees. However the pleasant weather and friendly format brought a smile to most of us. Once again Clark Black acted as a marker to allow 11 teams of two to compete. David Frith and John Parker came close with 39 points but Tony Davis and Martin Fouracre took the money and the trophy with 41 points. Brian Taylor won our nearest the pin prize on the 9th.

Thursday 29th May 2025

Tuesday’s weather was bad enough but an increase in wind and rain saw only 5 turn up, 4 play, 7 holes - no fun. Round 3 of Summer League is on 19th June as we have Brampton and Powfoot matches over next two Thursdays.

Tuesday 27th May 2025

It was hard to believe we have just had the sunniest May on record as we prepared to face a strong blustery prevailing wind, cool temperatures and squally showers. However the burnt fairways and slick greens quickly reminded the 22 who set off at ten minute intervals between 11.00 and 12.00. The nasty weather got the better of three of our number who only played a few holes before seeking the shelter of the clubhouse. The remaining 19 battled on and Dave Atherton shone, winning with 37 points, beating David Low, with 36 points, into second place ( after countback).
