New Captains

This is the first newsletter for a couple of weeks as the weather thwarted any golf from the previous week. Happily we have much more in store in this missive…

Please note that from Wednesday 1st November onwards, mats are c ompulsory for social golf when hitting from the fairway.

Captains Elect

Well if you don’t who they are, where have you been?? For the 2024/25 campaign, the captain elect are Ben Fallows, Gill Kay and Matthew Hodder to stay on for a second year as junior captain. Huge congratulations and we all hope you have a very enjoyable time during your year of office.

Bogey 2

Well done to M atthew Hodder for winning last weekend’s Bogey 2 with a score of three up. Commiserations to Joe Mills who recorded the same score but was beaten on a card play off. Andrew Fishwick finished third with two up.

The fourth photo below shows the “eight down club” who seem to be in high spirits despite their less than stellar performances on the golf course!

Lady Captain v Lady Secretary

The Ladies Competition last week was a hard fought nine hole greensomes match between the Lady Captain’s (Jan Ravenscroft) team and the Lady Secretary’s (Min Fishwick) team. 

Despite the the squelchy conditions some good golf was played and the LCs team prevailed as the overall winners.

Rainbow

Thanks to Terri Broadbent for this lovely photo taken on the 19th October. The golf had been washed out but this was taken just before the ladies convened for tea.

Church Stretton

Thanks to Paul Gilbert for sending in this photo of, as he put it, “the greenkeepers at work” at Church Stretton GC. I know nothing about the course but it looks a fabulous spot in Shropshire.
