Ladies Competitions from Thursday 22/8/24

Kairen Seaton shot a magnificient 42 points to win the 18 hole stableford.

Most of the field opted for nine holes because of the lousy weather and Diana Harris won the event with 23 stableford points. Jan ravenscroft was runner up with 22 points and Gillian brogdon third with 19 points.

Irrigation Project

A few words below from Roger Sheen.

On Wednesday 21st August Council held a luncheon at the club to celebrate the successful implementation of our new state of the art irrigation system.

During the period of the planning, financing, tendering exercise and successful delivery of the project a number of members happily contributed their personal and professional time when requested.

At the lunch, on behalf of all members, The President presented Andrew Hay with a caricature memento in recognition of the many hundred of hours  in recent months spent working on this project on our behalf.

At the end of the lunch, Russell, from his mobile phone presented a demonstration of the system watering our practice putting green – it was spectacular (and nobody got wet!)

Unfortunately, because of work commitments, two members who contributed and greatly supported the project could not join the celebration on the day – Howard Gill and our ex captain Roger Laitt.

Thank you to all involved.

Lost Property

Has anyone found a right hand, blue grip, Rife, Barbados Island Series putter? It belongs to Paul Gilbert and was lost on the course last Friday, somewhere between the 7th and 9th holes during the match between the Seniors and the Ladies. Please let me know if you have it and/or drop it into the shop. Thank you.
