  With a lot of members away on holiday or business, Tuesday 28th September was a relatively quiet affair. A total of 23 played on the day with 8 guests joining us for the day. We did, however, have the highest ever score achieved by a member on a society day and 2 of our members ended up in a card play-off for 2nd place. 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.
  The day started off a little overcast but by half way round the sun was beating down as usual. Not too windy either, but enough to make you think about club selection.

  Getting a shot back this week was Terry Blood now playing off 28, and Steve Cordings now also playing off 28.

  Guest winner this week was Tony Boardman playing off a handicap of 18 with a score of 36 points, 19 on front 9, 17 on back 9.

  Nearest the pin on the 7th was won by guest Derek Bronham, and the 15th was won by Pete Thomas. It was the first time Pete had ever reached a par 3 green in 1, so he was chuffed to win the nearest the pin as well! Pete also managed to pick the winner on the sweepstake so also got his days golf for free! The 2's competition was won by guest Perry Anderson for a birdie on the 4th, he won himself 46 Euros.

  Out of our 8 guests this week, there was one who had only played once before on a golf course, I must say he did very well to keep up and showed good course etiquette.He did have the odd stroke of luck (see pic) Lyndon managed to use a yellow stake to stop the ball going in the water, exceptional aim I thought!!! This can only be equalled or beaten by Stan Knox’s shot on the 9th hole on our Sunday Fun day 14th September, where he managed to wedge a ball into a tree!!! Perhaps we should have a “shot of the month” competition, drop me a line to via email to vote for this months’ shot of the month.

MATCH PLAY STATUS

  The draw has now been made for our match play spin-off competition, where the first sixteen to be knocked out the Individual Match Play competition go on to play for a Plate Trophy, kindly donated by one of our members, Gordon Clemens. A lot of good players were knocked out early in the original competition, so the Plate Trophy will be just as interesting, with everyone fired up ready to win. Details of the Match play and other events are on our website Leaderboard page.

  Our next society events are on Tuesday, 12th October and Sunday, 17th October. Tee times are from 10.30 am.
