Footnote - Richard Woodward not returning to golf

Hello Barry,
Just to let you know my club membership is expiring and I have decided not to renew it. I will therefore not be rejoining the Seniors Section.

I have enjoyed my many years with the Seniors but I can no longer compete. I will miss the friendly company and particularly the banter.

Hopefully I will bump into many of you around Witney.
All the best Richard Woodward

Results from the games played today/ yesterday ...

Team Witney had an away match at Stowe GC yesterday. The result was a draw. Well done to all in the team, and especially to Kevin for being Captain and to Cliff Smith for standing in for an absent colleague.

Many of the team said they enjoyed the day .. the course, Stowe School setting, food and company. What more could you ask for?

The week ahead ...

IMPORTANT CHANGE OF GOLF DAY

The Witney Lakes Resort want to hold a corporate golf day, with a shotgun start, on Thursday 1st September, starting in the morning. They asked if our normal golf could be moved to the afternoon. Well as many seniors enjoy an afternoon snooze, I thought it better to move our regular spot to FRIDAY 2nd September. This will be a Teesing Stableford Team game with our normal course access from 8:00 - 10:00.

A note for your diary - Seniors' Golf has moved from Thursday 1st September to Friday 2nd September - normal times.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tuesday 16th August - Roll-Up - Yellow Peril Team Game.

Thursday 18th August

Roll-Up - Texas Scramble Team Game from 8:00 - 9:30, also ...
Home Match against Shrivenhan GC - coffee/tea/biscuits from 9:30 - first tee 10:30. The team is shown on this website and in the Sports Bar.

John Alexander has kindly volunteered to run the roll-up on Thursday.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Remember for next week the away match against Stowe is on a MONDAY - first tee time 9:00. The team is shown on the website and in the Sports Bar - Kevin is in charge of this one.

I have just heard that the after-match meal requires jacket and tie.

Happy Golfing!
