Thursday 28th September

Challenging conditions today. Twenty one played with Bob Finlinson's 39 points well out in front (17 - 13), Jonathon Derry second with 34 (15 - 14).

Next Tuesday is the Brindley Salver Greensomes with the first fourball teeing off at 9.00am after the draw at around 8.50am. The AGM will follow, probably about 2.00pm.

Update: Apologies for not mentioning Clive Milburn who invited everyone to a drink to celebrate his umpteenth birthday.

Tuesday 26th September

Today's forecast was correct, cloud, strong winds, rain, heavy rain then bright skies. Twenty took part but not that many completed the round. David Blain won with 36 points (18 - 15) and Harry Wright second with 32 (31 - 30). Three didn't put money in the prize pool so hopefully they'll reimburse the kitty.

Congratulations and thanks to Jim Shaw for inviting us to celebrate his 81st birthday.

Annual General Meeting

Just a reminder that our AGM is on Tuesday 3rd October following the Brindley Salver Greensomes (weather permitting).

Please notify Brian Taylor of intended proposals so they can be added to the agenda. 

Thursday 21st September

Philip Curran won with 43 points (22 - 16), Gerry Fisher second, well back with 33 (15 - 14) and most of the remaining eighteen scores were pretty dire with myself coming last.

Hexham is Open

As of 7.00am 20/09/2023. Buggies allowed. 

Champion Sandpiper

A close game by all accounts with David Frith overcoming strong opposition by Gordon Shaw on the 18th. 

Hexham

For those not in the WhatsApp loop, Hexham GC is closed all day today with a course inspection at 7.00am tomorrow. John recommends nobody sets out until it is confirmed the course is open and of particular concern to the less mobile that buggies are allowed.
