Result of today's Pairs, Better Ball Stableford competition

1st.  - Cliff Smith and Andy Wright -             48 pts.
2nd. - Martin Buckingham and Alex Tyrell - 46 pts.
3rd . - Mike Smith and Bob Harvey -             45 pts.

Next Week:

•  Vice Captain, Barry will be in charge next week and Treasurer Brian will be expecting you to give him your monthly subs.
• Tuesday 2nd. June - Teasing STROKEPLAY (white, yellow, red).
• Thursday 4th. June - Home match v Hadden Hill (10.30 am. first tee, jacket and tie for meal)                                       Roll Up - Individual Stableford

At today's prize giving Alex Tyrell was presented with the May Medal:

                                    

Alex was also a very strong contender for "Bandit of the Month" but after careful consideration this much coveted accolade goes to Roger Laban. Roger's low profile approach to winning this award extended to him being absent from the prize giving. I am sure the other members will be on the lookout to turn him in for photographing at the earliest opportunity.

Summer KO 1st Round Closing Date

Today, Friday 22nd May, is the final day for playing your first round matches.

As of yesterday there were four matches with no result...

Cliff Smith v Dinger Long
Martin Buckingham v Glynn Rees
Brian Woodburn v Andy Wright
Brian Rollerson v John Watt

If you are not playing your match and intend to decide the result on the spin of a coin, or any other method, we still need to know who is going through to the next round before the draw sheet is removed and updated over the weekend.

Failure to so will result in the elimination of both players, in accordance with the competition rules.

You can let me have the names by email to alan.lake99@gmail.com

Tuesday 19th.  Summer Stableford - Round 2 of 6, minus a 'right royal' party going to Windsor.

Thurs. 21st.  Bowmaker Team Game Mark 3 - (2 score on holes 1-6, 3 score on 7-12, 1 scores on 13-18)

The sign up sheets for next months Monthly Medal and the Invotec Trophy are now on the changing room notice board.

The team for the next match, at home to Haddon Hill, on Thurs. 4th. June is now published on the website. If you have previously made yourself available for this fixture please check the list.

The amended results for the game on the 5th May can be found under older posts.

There was no change to the first and second places in both Division 1 and Division 3. However, in Division 2, Roger Laban came first, Colin Baker dropped to second place and Dougie Keen was nudged out of the prizes. Hard luck Doug, nice one Roger.

... and for all you bandits reading this ... next week the VC is in charge. Brian has given me a list of 16 names of seniors who owe monthly subs. Scarface and Nosher will be pleased to see you!!!

Summer Singles Matchplay Competition

Please note that the committees position is that there will not be an extension (except in "exceptional cases",as stated in the competition rules) to the deadline dates stated on the draw sheet.
If you haven't already done so please endeavour to play preliminary round matches by the deadline of 22nd. May, that is if both players are in the country at the same time and so avoid a "spin of the coin" decision as to who goes through.

Thursday 14th. May 2015
