Judging by some of the scores today, most people are carrying too many clubs normally. Some others aren't. I hope it was an enjoyable way to finish the year. Thanks for all your support I hope you got fun and fellowship out of it.

New for 2014-15
Further to the AGM I hope that all members will soon be familiar with the following changes under the 'new regime'.
1- Starting with the roll up on Tues 4th. Nov. members will be in one of 3, rather than the present 2, divisions for prizes. Each division will have a 1st. and 2nd. prize only, although the overall prize fund will be significantly increased and 3 divisions should ensure a wider spread of prize winners. Division 1 will be for members with a playing handicap up to and including 19. Division 2 will be for handicaps between 20 and 24 and Division 3 for handicaps of 25 and above. Based on Alan's Eclectic List this will give 3 very even divisions at present.
2- The Captain's Charity Hole will become the 8th. with the pond in front of the tee (rather than the one to the side), being the place to play your ball before putting 50p into the collecting box. Anybody finding the pond from the 13th. tee will need to speak to the Captain personally.
3- The Captain's Charity is the Thames Valley and Chilterns Air Ambulance (TVACAA). I hope the members will be keen to support this very valuable, worthwhile cause. By coincidence it is TVACAA's 15th. anniversary in 2015 and they were looking to organise a golfing event as part of their celebrations. I have pointed them in the direction of our Seniors Open and I am expecting a lot of support from them for our major event.
Regarding more immediate matters:

Seniors v Juniors
The Senior section took on the junior section in a match play competition today and the result was an amicable draw 3-3.
It was a very close match. with three losing seniors surviving untill the last 2 holes. Alex Tyrell, James Barnatt and Tony Carter won their matches quite comfortably.
Everybody enjoyed the golf and the fine weather. Many thanks to Alan Lake for organising the day.

Seniors vs Juniors - Result
The match ended up halved at 3 - 3.
All participants, both young and not so young, thoroughly enjoyed the match, with four of the six games being taken to the last couple of holes... the two that were won a bit sooner were both wins for the Seniors' Section.
Whilst they probably won't read this, I would like to thank the members of the Junior Section for giving up a day of their half-term holiday to play and to Mark, the Juniors Organiser, for helping me arrange the game.
Juniors Team -
Jack Lambourne (4)
Matt Craddock (5)
Robert Frost (8)

Tony Hanley (19) - may have to check his birth certificate! :-)
