Good Afternoon to all.
Quite a bit to get through today so first thing to say is that through an oversight  todays game wasn't set up as a qualifier on the computer system although it could have been. I am not going to go back through the cards and enter them all onto the system but if anyone wants their score entered for handicap adjustment purposes let me know.
In future I will try and be more careful about setting up potential qualifiers on the system.
So 36 played in our game today and the winners were as follows

Div 1 1st Alex Tyrell 39; 2nd John Alexander 36; 3rd Rod Rapley 35

Div 2 1st Gerry Collier 39; 2nd Roy Williams 36; 3rd John Watt 36 (cb)

The split between divisions 1 and 2 is becoming uneven and I will propose at our next committee meeting that we adjust the divisions.

We had proposed that the singles KO would start on 23rd May but that now coincides with Dave Stones Funeral and I know several of our members will want to go to that, so we will hold the preliminary round of the KO on the same day as the end of month prize giving, that should allow us to keep on track. The sign up sheet for the KO will come down and the draw will be made next Tuesday.
Finally we have a match, away to Carswell, Thursday and John Alexander will host the roll up for those not involved.

Good Evening to all

I expect many of you already have heard that sadly Dave Stone passed away last weekend.
Dave had been ill for a long time and finally lost his battle on Sunday.

I didn't put a comment up before as I haven't been able to confirm any details but today I read a notice in the Oxford Mail. His family have invited those who knew Dave to join them to celebrate his life on Tuesday May 23rd at 12:00pm at St John the Evangelist, Hailey.

I am sure many of us will be wanting to remember Dave.

Well I was definitely blown of course on the course today, scores were generally pretty high all except for one, and interestingly that belonged to the April bandit, but more of that in a bit.

First Tuesdays result

1st
Peter McNamara, Dave Williams and John Alexander 140 points
2nd
Dick Harris, Tony Ward and Paddy Marcks 133 points

Todays Result

Congratulations to Roy ( and a 3 stroke cut)

Next Tuesday it will be an Individual Stableford game and next Thursdays team away at Carswell will be on the match page soon.

Good Evening to all you Witney Lakes Old Boys.

We had a good time at Radley today the weather was dry, the wind was light and the course was in great condition.
We won three and a half to two and a half and came away very contented.

I have spoken to Doug who tells me we had a good turnout today and a nice game even if he cant actually remember who won, but anyway we will sort that Thursday.

Its the May medal on Thursday so get plenty of rest till then.

One more thing for you all to think about, as long as we get your support we are planning our September away day at Oxford City (Southfield) a very nice course but it will have to be on a Monday (Sept 4th) because of other societies already having bookings. Comments please on Thursday

Good Evening Team Mates

I'm afraid I didn't see the result for todays Roll Up yet, but I suspect you were well away warm and dry by the time we had the hail/ snow /hurricanes etc at the end of our match. By that time we had just about done enough to clainm the win Three and a Half to Two and a Half.

Just found the email Brian sent me this morning with yesterdays result

Only 17 played so I am afraid only prizes for the winners in each division so congratulations to John Alexander and Bill Ford

Two Matches coming up on the next two Tuesdays

Drayton at home on 25th April and Radley away 2nd of May.

We have more signed up than we need for both matches, thank you very much for your support, I have tried to give everyone who has signed up at least one game several have two. Also I have included a reserve for each match and they quite often get drafted in at the 12th hour.

Sorry to disappoint some of you

So both team sheets with as much info as I currently have going on the team sheet in the next 10 minutes.

For those not in next Tuesdays match Brian Rollerson will host Erics Game.

For the prize giving Thursday I still have to sort out the Tee times with the club as they would liketo push us back to one tee start. I will post information as soon as I have it.
