So not very busy at the Lakes yesterday, only 9 in the Roll Up I guess the week has taken its toll on some of our wider travelling members.

Anyway the day won by Gerry Collier with 38 points from Mike Smith with 36.

Once again we had a very enjoyable day against Kirtlington with honours shared 3 all.
I played with Mike Dawson and everything I've heard about his form lately is true. Next match my partner is Malcolm Saunders lets see how far he can carry me.

Next match next Tuesday away to Drayton. The team is posted on the blog and the Sports Bar notice board. Also on the Tee time sheet will be the start times for next Thursdays Summer Stableford round 4.

There will be a roll up at the club as usual on Tuesday details to be sorted over the next two days.

I have been making final arrangements for the Seniors Open and all we need now is your entry forms and your raffle prizes. Officially entries close Thursday 20th July (this Thursday).

Talking to Gerry it was not a great day for weather yesterday but with some great scores.

22 played and division 1 was won by Doug Keen on countback from Peter McNamara, both with 37 points.
In division 2 the winner was Mike Dawson ( who coincidentally is my playing partner for tomorrows match) with 42 points from Alan Jones with 41.

Really great scores so well done to all. Tomorrow is another roll up run by Gerry and a match against Kirtlington, the team for next Tuesdays away match at Drayton will be on the blog in the next 10 minutes.

Happy Golfing to All

I have just posted Thursdays team on the matches page and look forward to seeing you all then.

Also looking at the calendar today I realised that the Seniors open is only just over 4 weeks away, so time to get going on the preparation for that.

Any raffle prizes or sponsorship gratefully received in the next 4 weeks but before that your entries please. Entries close in 2 weeks so get them in as soon as you can and lets make it a great day for our charity and all our participants

Another busy week coming up with a group touring in Wales  Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and the Burford open Thursday.

We have a home match Thursday with Kirtlington and its been difficult getting a team but I have managed to twist a few arms and beg a few favours and we now have a team. However a couple of our players are going to a lot of trouble to be available and if you can play they will be very happy to step down. Let me know by Tuesday.

I am away at a Seniors Charity Open on Tuesday and Gerry Collier will run the roll up which will be an individual Stableford for those not playing in the KO.

I suggest if you want a slot for the KO you come along and take one around 9:00 or soon after, the sign up sheet will be in the changing rooms Monday.

Sorry for the delay in posting todays result but for some reason the computer at the Lakes wouldn't give us a cumulative result for the two rounds

So using the scores I have for the people playing both rounds the results are as below. I will print a copy and post it on the notice board tomorrow.

So Congratulations to Peter Burdon winner of Gross and Nett competitions I have to check on the Bill Graves result.

we will pay prizes for 1st 2nd and 3rd Nett scores in both divisions. Thanks to all who made it round today and once again congratulations to Peter

So a tight round today several people still in the hunt for both gross and nett competitions.

The tee times for Thursday will be posted in the next 5 minutes. So here we are  I'm sure you're all having your rub down and half time oranges before reentering the fray.

So back to my normal plea for Team Members for Thursday 13th at home against Kirtlington I'm still 4 short so let me know if you can play.

Before you all get engrossed in Wimbledon just a reminder that the really big sporting event this week starts tomorrow at the Lakes. The start sheet is pinned up in the changing rooms and we're all ready to go. Some drop outs and some extras so some times have changed by a few minutes so worth a check
