  It seems that every time we play a society game, a record is smashed! Tuesday 17th August was our biggest numbers yet. A total of 31 played on the day and 6 people had to pull out at the last minute! A fantastic turn out for the society. Also, we had the highest ever scores achieved on a society day by 2 of our members who ended up in a card play-off for 1st place.
  Once again, as we were in large numbers, we had groups teeing off both the 10th tee as well as the 1st. Along with 19 of our members, we had 12 guests joining with us on the day. The society as usual organized a nearest the pin competition on the 7th and 15th par 3 holes, along with a “2’s” competition and a sweepstake for the winner.
  It was a beautiful warm sunny day, with a moderate wind to keep us cool, unlike the last time we played where there was hardly a breath of air. Some people were also playing their match play games along side our normal competition. Qualifiers have to be played as soon as possible to be able to proceed with the Plate Trophy (for further details see our Leaderboard page)

  Getting shots back this week were Paul Worrall (Egor), now playing off 21, and Steed Ansell now also playing off 21.

  Guest winner this week was Diane Raeside playing off a handicap of 20 with a score of 33 points, 14 on front 9, 19 on back 9.

  Nearest the pin on the 7th was won by guest Mike Barry, and the 15th was won by Alan Collier from Whispers. The sweepstake was won by a guest, Alan Watkins, who got his days golf for free! The 2’s competition was won by Alan Collier for a birdie on the 15th, he won himself 62 Euros.
  Out of our 12 guests this week, Diane Raeside, who was playing with Stuart Page and myself, came in with a winning score of 33 points. In 2nd place was Dan Reeves, who scored 30 points playing off a handicap of 14, 11 on the front 9 and 19 on the back. 3rd place was Joe Dunks, playing off 24 who also scored 30 points but was beaten by Dan on a card play-off.

  A special mention, I feel is needed for our co-ordinator, Tina, who not only does the draw and organizes everyone with their tee times, but also collects green fees, prize money, gives out the scorecards and generally makes sure that things run smoothly on the day.
