There is a nine hole stableford taking place on Thursday (the 10th Feb) which is open to ladies and men. There are still spots available so please sign up via Club V1 if you’d like a game.
Big Sister / Little Sister Ladies Competition
This 9 hole event event was played last Thursday and is a twist on a Texas Scramble. The winners were Jane Perks and Gillian Healey. Runners up were Sally Wright & Freda Hunt and third place went to Caroline Massey & Vicki Wells
Bradley 3
The seniors section finally managed to get Bradley 3 played last Wednesday after the weather had thwarted the event on several occasions. It was a good turnout with 39 players taking part.
Tony Sampson won the nine hole stableford event with 21 points, beating John Bacon on a card playoff. Chairman of Council Roger Sheen came third with 20 points. Barry Jeffries and Chris Wood each recorded a two.
Chinese New Year Dinner
Here are some photos of the beautifully decorated clubhouse dining room before the Chinese New Year Banquet, which took place last Thursday evening.
Ace
Well done to Guy Levers who recorded a hole in one on the par three course called Abel’s Crossing during his first go on Trackman. You can see on the image below that the distance from the hole after his tee shot on the 7th hole 0 feet and 0 inches. I’m not sure if this warrants a trip to the bar….
Music
Thanks to Mike Massey for sharing his ode to missing golf during lockdown. He apologises to the Clancy Brothers as it’s to the tune of “the Holy Ground”.
Fare thee well my lovely golf course a thousand times adieu
We’re going away from our favourite course and the greens we love so true
We live in total isolation but we’ll return for sure
To see again the fairways trim and play our special course again
Fine course you are (shout)
Refrain
The club I do adore
And still I live in hopes to play
Our special course once more
Fine course you are (shout)
And now the virus is raging, tees and fairways lying still
Irons and baffys stored in their bags with swings and putts all awry
But in the secrets of my mind my love you’re still the course that I adore
And when all is back to norm, we’ll play our special course once more
Fine course you are (shout)
Refrain
Fine course you are (shout)
Now Covid 19 is over and we are safe and well
Teeing up on the first with hopes so high, no more “tiers” to blight the day
gathering once again in our nineteenth and greeting the friends we hold so true
We’ll play the course with a new fourth to test our skill and bell to keep us safe
Fine course you are (shout)
Refrain
Fine course you are (shout)
