I hope we are all ready for the BBQ tomorrow (Friday) 7:00 in the Sports Bar. If you haven't paid yet I would appreciate it if you could pay tomorrow. £14 per head

We will be having a raffle of all the unclaimed raffle prizes from Tuesday (nearly all bottles of alcoholic beverage) so bring plenty of money.


Look Forward to seeing you there

So 27 of us braved the conditions today, stepping out on the course despite the warm sunshine and light breezes. As you can see the conditions certainly made the scoring difficult with only Bill Ford coming in at level par. We are obviously used to the wind and rain now adays and struggle to play in any other conditions

Result

Only two changes in handicap both increases

First off thanks to everyone who either took part, helped out or supported in any way today's open. Despite the weather a really good day with some top class scores.. All of the visitors I spoke to were complimentary about the course, the day generally and particularly about the friendly welcome they received.

Second an apology on my part, the match Thursday has been postponed and we are trying to rearrange it, we were struggling with getting a team and with the open and Friday's BBQ it has all been a bit too much. The fact I forgot to post that news even though I thought I had, just makes that point

Third I will try and post the start list for the Gavin Brown Trophy his Thursday when we will have a roll up Individual Stableford, if anyone wants to be at the club around 9 I will show you how to set up a competition on the computer and more importantly turn the bloody thing on.

Last but by no means least I will be collecting BBQ money if you have it

So the Pairs Open draws near.

Start times will be on the tee time page in the next 15 minutes, if you are playing with a visitor or are organising a visitors golf for the day first off, thank you and second, please let them know the tee time.

So we have signer inner's, starters, spotters and scorers arranged for the day but if you want to come along and give us some support you will be very welcome.

The sports bar is open from 7:30 on Tuesday and coffee will be available, also the club have agreed to sell bacon baps, sausage baps, egg baps etc from 7:30 in case you want to take some extra sustenance before your round.

A rolling buffet is available at the end of the round and we expect the day to finish around 3:30.

Thank you if you have donated a raffle prize there looked a good selection earlier and if you haven't there is still time on the day.

Lets hope the weather is good and we can all have a great golfing day

I had a comment from one of our players that he was feeling a bit under the weather, I wish I'd been under it rather than in it. What a day windy or what?

In the conditions some good scores as below (at least I thought they were good especially compared to mine)

So congratulations to Alex Tyrell winner of the August medal.

So with the Open now almost ready to go and (nearly) all the money in, I will start collecting the money from those signed up for the Friday 11th BBQ at £14 per head.

Perhaps I may bump into you tomorrow

Good Morning All

Thank You Gerry for hosting the Roll Up yesterday, I hope you didn't get too wet.
28 played  and results were as follows

Div 1 1st Mike Smith 35 points; 2nd Paddy Marcks 34 points (on cb)

Div 2 1st Bill Ford 36 points; 2nd Cliff Surman 31 points.

We had a good day at Bicester good breakfast followed by a golf lesson which we lost 5:1,
Actually there wasn't all that much in the golf (so my team mates claim) but they just had that edge on us that makes all the difference.

So we have the August Medal tomorrow and I will put the start time sheet in the changing rooms later today.

Next Tuesday we have the Pairs Open and we are all looking forward to a good day. there are still some last minute adjustments to start times going on but I post the latest version (version 4) on the notice board before tomorrows game.

We have a good number of visitors coming and even if you aren't able to play you can still support the day and the charity by bringing along a raffle prize tomorrow.

All contributions gratefully received.

Thank You

Kevin
