I am very sorry to have to tell you all that Bert Hale passed away earlier this week. I expect some of you already knew.

I dont have much information about the exact circumstances except I understand that he had been struggling with pneumonia for some time, I will post more information about what happened and when his funeral will be taking place as soon as I have it. In the meantime we will have a condolences card to sign at next Tuesdays game

Good Evening from Blog Headquarters

Todays Results as follows

Again some Really Good scores you must like all these qualifying games.

I have left the Sign Up sheets for Thursday in the changing room and I have posted the start times for next Tuesdays Winter Stableford.

Dont forget Thursday we will have a 9 hole friendly session for those who are interested I estimate from around 9:00.

For the 3 UBoat preliminaries I have allocated three tee times from 9:30 onwards on the 24th, if you want to do something different let me know Thursday

Good Afternoon Games for thisWeek

Tuesday Individual Stableford off yellow Tees
Thursday Individual Stroke Play off Yellow Tees

I have asked for the course to be set up to allow these games to be played off the measured course, so as long as that is OK we will make them qualifying games

I will take the entry list for round 1 of the Winter Stableford down Tuesday and do the draw by Thursday so get your names down if you haven't already.

Also after the discussions we had at the AGM I thought we could try a 9 hole game for those who want on Thursday. (Thursday looks cold and could be wet later according to the forecast)
So no prizes no fee but if you want to play a gentle 9 holes then roll up around 9:00 on Thursday.

Controversy reigned today as some of our intrepid golfers clearly had not seen the rules that were posted with the sign up sheet, I'm not quite sure how that happened. Despite Doug and Gerry's protestations no skulduggery was suspected


However in future I will try and make sure that for all "non standard" games the rules are printed on the bottom or back of the entry sheet.

So 27 played today and the winners with a cracking good score were
Mike Dawson, Pat Hiles and Roy Williams on 88 points

second
Alex Tyrell, Mike Smith and Derek Tidy with 81 points.

Good Afternoon Golfers

31 of us in the medal today but first the delayed result from last Thursday.
It was a Teesing team game in which 30 took part and congratulations to

1st Doug Keen, Gerry Collier and John Watt 108 points
2nd Mike Dawson, Alan Lake and Dave Williams 105 points.

Todays medal Results as below

Well Done to John Alexander November Medal Winner

I have put the Entry Sheets for Thursdays game on the changing room notice board. Look forward to seeing you then

This weeks games

I'm sure you realise its the November Medal on Tuesday, the tee times are on the web and on the seniors notice board in the sports bar. There have been a couple of extras since the original sign up but I think we can cope with a couple of 4 balls if no one else turns up.

Thursdays roll up is a Pink Ball Team game, this is a stableford yellow tee variation on the yellow peril

Teams of three take it in turns to play the pink ball, six times each, and the score for each hole is the pink ball plus the best other score so a par score is nett 72 points

If you hadn't noticed Brian is still on holiday but back and looking for your cash on the 17th

Golfers,

I'm almost back on the case now the babysitting for this week is over and I have published Tuesdays result below.
Looks like a good turn out and some great scores, as it was our first yellow tee qualifying comp watch out for those handicap changes when  marking your card in next Tuesdays medal.

I haven't seen Thursdays start sheet or results yet, so I will publish that as soon as I can.

(I'm not sure why I get the funny font from How did I do, I'll try and sort it out for next time.)

Information about next weeks games tomorrow
