So later than expected here is yesterdays result.

Well done to the 12 who played and sorted out the competition for themselves

The start times for Tuesday will be on the tee time sheet shortly and the list of players signed up for the match against Kirtlington on 9th July will be on the matches page. Not a full team yet so please add your name next week

Well what a day. By the time I got up all the rain had finished but I understand from the brave souls who battled there way round today that once the rain stopped it wasn't too bad.

Only 8 results and one of them seems to be a bit off bur congratulations to Mike Twyman who won today with 30 points. He was getting quite excited as the later games came in and no one managed to knock him off top spot.

Result below but first comments about the next few days.

Seniors are in a match at Wychwood and a seniors day at Lillibrook on Thursday so I'm not going to try and organise a formal competition, but the tee time is still booked for those left in Witney.

Next week is the Club Senior Championships and Tuesday tee times are in handicap order. I wont be around Thursday but I'll pick up the entry sheets sometime Thursday or Friday morning and put the start list on the blog and in the changing room over the weekend

Todays result

Thank You to all those who pointed out to me that the sign up sheet for next Tuesday was very obviously on the board in the Sports Bar.

When you get old a little sympathy goes a long way

The start times for Tuesdays game should be on the blog at the weekend and pinned up sometime Sunday
Now where did I put that sheet??

Results for today

Rod and most of the team are away so I'm putting todays result on the Blog so that I know where to find it.

So well played to all but especially Tony Ward with a winning 39 points.

Thursdays sign up is in the changing rooms but I cant find a sheet for next Tuesdays Summer Stableford does anyone know if there is one. I'll be in the sports bar Thursday to collect up Thursdays  cards and will try to sort it out then

You can just put your name down and we will pair you with someone.

We need the numbers before the 2^nd week of July to start the final planning of food etc

Can we all have a look through the unwanted Christmas presents and donate a Raffle Prize .

We make a lot of money for the charity with our £5 a strip Raffle

18 Hole Stableford Better Ball Competition

Tuesday 6th August 2019

Team Prizes for 1st, 2nd & 3rd, Nearest the Pin, & Longest Drive

Our famous Raffle with over 40 prizes, Putting Competition, and 2’s prizes.

ENTRY FEE £30 per person

All profits for the day will go to the

Seniors Captain’s Charity which is MAGGIE'S.

We  will be raising money for Maggie’s which is a charity providing support for patients and family for people with Cancer.

Our goal is to raise £2,400 to pay for the centre for 1 day

 Maggie’s is a charity funded entirely by the kindness of people. Here’s how your money helps:

£100 pays for a two hour Managing Stress session for up to 10 people, exploring ways to relax and find calmness in day to day life when dealing with the challenges of cancer.

£140 supports our exercise classes to help build and maintain strength and confidence while living with cancer.

£170 allows us to provide ongoing bereavement support by a professional to those who are recently bereaved as they start to rebuild their lives .

£300 pays for a Cancer Support Specialist for a entire day so that they can provide immediate advice and support to up to 100 Centre visitors.

£2,400 is enough to keep a Centre open for a day and allows us to provide all of the above support to people with cancer.

Many Thanks

Rod

Hi all,

A reduced field for Thursday Invotech trophy, probably down to the weather, but a great chance to get your name on the boards!!

A challenge taken up by Bob Kirkwood, who said in the club house he wasn’t going to play, but I bet he is glad he did!!

Because Bob was the only player within 3 shots of the course CSS, the only handicap changes were reductions, in Bob’s case-0.3, there were no handicap reduction. I did ring Intelligent Golf to check this out.

So Bob with a 73 gets his name on the board and a place in this years Masters

Bad luck to Dougie just a couple of shots behind. Barry James a new comer to the Seniors was 3^rd with a 76

And for those higher handicappers that don’t think they have a chance off the white tees, the top 3 gross scores in Division 2 were 103, 107 and 114!!
