Centenary Trophy
Well done to Nigel Taylor for winning the Centenary Trophy last weekend with 42 stableford points. Second place went to Jim Nicholson with 41 points and Philip long was third with 39.
Jim’s round was remarkable for scoring a six for two points on the fourth hole and then a two for six points on the 5th hole!! So that got me thinking what a four under par score on a hole is called? We know one under is a birdie, two under is an eagle and three under is an albatross. So the all knowing Google tells me that it could be called a “double albatross” or a “triple eagle” but a far snappier title is to call it a condor. Suffice to say it’s an exceptionally rare bird!!
Ladies Summer Meeting
Fifteen teams of three took part in this best two from three to count nine hole competition last Thursday. The winners with a fine score of 42 points were Lynette Lodge, Caroline Massey and Vicky Chamberlain. Second place went to Gillian Brogdon, Jane Perks and Moya Malthouse with 39 points beating Pam Dixon, Terri Broadbent and Barbara Spark into third place via a card play off. The event was followed by a lunch for the players.
Seniors Summer Stableford 4
This nine hole competition took place on Friday and was won by Robert Spark with a fine 20 points. After all he’s been through this year, it seems fitting that he should win a competition so congratulations Robert! Robert Manley and Barry Jefferies shared second place just one point adrift.
Range Yardages
One or two of you asked me for the yardages on the range to the different flags so I measured them with my Bushnell laser the other day and they are as per my high tech drawing below.
Pro Shop Opening Hours
I have a couple of short breaks coming up with my family over the next fortnight so Phil will be at the helm in the Pro Shop in my absence. The shop hours might be a little reduced as a consequence. Thanks in advance for your understanding with this.
