A number of points of information

If you are looking for it, today's results are on the post below this one!

6 things, maybe 7, in no particular order:

1 - The much updated team for next Tuesday's match v Radley Seniors is on the Matches section of the website. The team for the Wychwood match on Monday 11th. May will be posted shortly.
2 - Now that 'Winter Rules' have been lifted, a Summer Eclectic will run from the beginning of May until the end of October. This year the committee have agreed to prizes being available for the best 2 net scores as well as the best 2 gross scores. John Alexander and Mike Smith recently played in the Buckingham Golf Club Seniors Open (their prize for topping the list last year). They finished a highly creditable 7th. (equal 5th. on raw score) out of 50 pairs. Their report back of an excellent all round day means that the same prize will be offered next year.
3 - Next Tuesday is subs day. Please take advantage of the lull in Brian's travelling to get up to date with your competition fees.
4 - Can anybody produce a quality heading for our new notice board in the changing room? Simply "Witney Lakes Seniors" would be appropriate but in a reasonable size and quality. As we anticipate having a notice board in the Sports Bar (as well as a new trophy cabinet) in the near future, two headings would be even better.
5 - Along with all others playing the course, we have been asked to be vigilant about repairing pitch marks on the greens.
6 - For the keen gardeners - Air Ambulance have their own Gardens Open scheme. This includes gardens which are rarely open to the public e.g. Frogmore House at Windsor. I have a booklet with details of the complete programme if you are interested.

Thursday 30th. April 2015

Result of today's Pairs Better Ball competition:

1st. - Bob Harvey and Derek Tidy - 51 pts. (yes that's correct, 51 pts!!)
2nd. - Geoff Mills and Mike Smith - 45 pts.
3rd. - Mike Steward and Dave Westman - 44 pts.

Prize giving:

Although a close run thing it will come as no surprise that April's Bandit of the Month is Derek Tidy.

and the winner of the Reg Mills Trophy was Richard Gent (congratulations to Richard on bagging our fourth trophy of the year)

Match v Drayton Park

Despite everybody's best efforts we narrowly lost today's game 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 (again). Well done to all those who took part, it was a very enjoyable occasion (again).

Results from today's (28th April) team Stableford roll-up competition.

FIRST: Paddy Marcks, John Robinson and Roger Laban [46 points]
SECOND: Doug Keen, Gerry Collier and Frank Hay [45 points]

A total of 9 teams took part in the competition with the scores ranging from 46 .. 38 so it was a fairly close battle.

Match v Radley - Tues.5th. May

The team for the above match is now posted on the 'Matches' section of our website. All of the people selected have previously told me that they are available for this fixture. Please check that this is still the case as a number of 'late adjustments' had to be made for the previous match. Thank you.

Results from today's (23rd April) Bowmaker Roll-Up Game

FIRST: Dave Westman, Alex Tyrell and Geoff Mills [83 points]
SECOND: Frank Hay, John Robinson and Roger Laban [81 points]

Seniors Notice Board

Now that the temporary arrangement has served it's purpose you will find the Seniors Notice Board in the newly refurbished changing room. There are some current sign up sheets on it.
This may not be the permanent location for our board, as we are discussing the possibility of having it in the Sports Bar, alongside a new trophy cabinet.Watch these spaces!!
