The week ahead

On Tuesday 10th November we have the monthly medal - stroke play off the white tees.

The tee times for this event are posted on this website and also on the notice board in the Sports Bar.


On Thursday 12th November sees the re-introduction of 'Whack and Hack" as the roll-up game. When you roll up to the Sports Bar, put a card in to James with your name on it, teams of three will be chosen from the cards.

In case you have forgotten the rules of Whack and Hack here is a reminder.

Teams of THREE members will play a STROKE PLAY game with handicap adjustment on each hole, so that only nett scores will be used.  In Whack and Hack, the three team members each play their own ball for three individual nett scores. Two of those scores are combined to make up the team score on each hole.

The two nett scores that are used are the lowest and the highest. So if the three players score 4, 5 and 6 respectively, the team score is 10 (4 + 6).

But there's an exception! If the lowest score for the team is a nett birdie or better, then the team gets to use its two lowest scores on that hole.

The completed card must show the score for each player and the combined score for each hole, together with the final total. Remember to include the handicap of each player.

The lowest final total for the match is the winner. Ties will be resolved on the number of nett birdies or better.

Well done to all who braved the weather!

Results from the Bowmaker team game played today

FIRST: Doug Keen, Barry Lund and Dinger Long (85)
SECOND: Richard Gent, Bob Kirkwood and John Courtney (83)

Just a reminder that when you roll up for a team game please see you have a team on the sign-up sheet before leaving the Sports Bar otherwise you will be disqualified before you even start the game. In other words don't leave gaps on the sheet.

The week ahead.

This week we have two roll ups, a Bowmaker on Tuesday and yes, Eric's Game again on Thursday. Now we are moving towards Winter tee times, we will start at 8.00 am. Please don't get there too early since I won't open up the Sports Bar until about 7.50 am. Last week there were queues at 7.50 am, so much so that these people didn't often get a tee time until after 8.30 am. Have an extra half hour in bed and try and spread your arrival over the first hour to alleviate queueing!

As this is the start of the month Brian will be very pleased to receive your subs. This system of collecting game fees works extremely well and I would urge the odd one or two of you who don't pay monthly to give it a go. Believe me Brian keeps a very accurate record of the money received.

If you haven't already signed up for the monthly medal and the U-Boat tournament and you want to play in these games please put your name on the sign up sheets on the notice board in the Sports Bar.

Enjoy your golf!
