The Week that Was

Bridgford Trophy & Moir Cup

The Bridgford Trophy and Moir Cup are 36 hole competitions for the ladies which are played over two days and took place last Monday and Thursday. Twenty five ladies took part.

Congratulations to Gillian Healey for winning the Bridgford with a combined nett score of 150 beating Michelle Rea into second place on account of a card play off. Tiff Fielden won the Moir which is a gross competition with a total of 173.

Michelle Rea was also second in the Moir and Mandy Gilbert finished in third place in both events so well played and commiserations to both of you for being so close!

Medal 4

Well done to Peter Turkington who recently turned 50 but turned back the clock to shoot a nett 63 in Saturday’s most recent medal. Peter Wolfenden was second with a 66. Dave Smith continued his excellent and very steady form to finish in third place with a gross 73 / nett 67.

The CSS on the day was 69. Plus it was another bumper day for twos with sixteen being recorded.

Seniors Stableford 2

It was a tie at the top in Friday’s second Senior’s Stableford of the post lockdown campaign. All three players scored nineteen points but David Swale emerged as the winner following the card play off leaving Martin Oldfield as runner up and David Cockbain in third place. There were then then five players with 18 points who shared fourth place.

Portugal 2021

We now have the details for next year’s “Ryder Cup” trip to Vilamoura in Portugal. It runs from the 6th – 9th February. We play a match against Knutsford GC and we’re coming into our ninth year, with the scores currently tied at four wins a piece.

The encounter is always played in a wonderful spirit and is great fun. It will involve 3 or 4 rounds of golf depending on your preference. If you would like more information, please drop into the shop for a chat or call/email me.

Starter’s Hut

Thanks for the photo of the Starter’s Hut sent it by Bob Siddle. It’s really been transformed and looks in great shape. Well done to Ben et al for your hard work renovating it. Plus the new four wheel deluxe mesh golf trolley from Tesco by the side looks good to go 😉
