PROMOTION: Ping Putters, Hybrids and Driver

Grab a bargain pre Christmas. I have six Ping 2021 putters in stock which I am reducing from £239 to £179 with immediate effect. Also I have some G425 hybrids reduced from £219 to £199 plus a G425 SFT driver which is now at £379 instead of £419. Sorry lefties, they are all right handed ☹ Please hurry though because once they’re gone, they’re gone!!

Bogey 3

Well done to current gentleman captain David Wainwright for winning Bogey 3 at the weekend with a score of three up. Both Danny Fox and Mike Massey recorded the same score but were beaten into second and third spots respectively following a card play off.

Poppy Appeal Nine Hole Stableford

This Poppy Appeal nine hole stableford was a huge success. It was played over two separate days and the club raised a whopping £555 for the Royal British Legion which was fantastic (see the letter below).

The men’s winner was Andrew Gething with 21 points and Min Fishwick won the ladies prize with 19 points. They each received a lovely medal with a poppy etched on to it.

Seniors Bradley 2

John Moss finished on top in a three way tie with 21 points following a card play off to win the Bradley 2 front nine stableford competition in the seniors section last week. Bob Siddle was second and Ian Goulty finished in third place.

Continuing with the poppy theme, eagle eyed Louise Gerald spotted the greenkeepers’ leaf blowing machine which looked like it was sporting a poppy whilst playing in last week’s nine hole stableford.
And here’s a vivid rainbow from the 5th November, which I neglected to include in last week’s missive!
