The week ahead ...

Good morning my golfing chums ... on the golf menu for this week we have ...

Tuesday 20th September - The Ryderless Cup. A match between the Captain's Team and the Vice Captain's Team. Format MATCHPLAY, with 0.9 of the handicap difference between the golfer with the lowest handicap in the four ball and the other three players in the group. This match is off the YELLOW tees.

The teams have already been drawn at random - see Tee Times on this website - and also published in the Sports Bar.

Reminder - I have in my diary that there is a Seniors' Committee Meeting after the match.

Thursday 22nd September - Summer Stableford Round 5. Full handicap allowance. Play off the WHITE tees. Once again tee times are published on this website and in the Sports Bar.

If you haven't signed up then write your name in the next free slot on the sign-up sheet in the Sports Bar. Remember out of the five Summer Stablefords you might have played this year only the BEST THREE scores count towards the Trophy.

Have fun - enjoy your golf!

Results from the games being played today ...

At home only 12 golfers rolled-up to play the team game Eliminator - must be the heat keeping you away. 

First: Barry Lund, Pat Hiles and Roy Williams 93
Second: Dave Butler, Martin Buckingham and Alan Jones 92
-------------------------------------------------------------------

Third: Mike Smith, Alex Tyrell and Geoff Mills 90
Fourth: Doug Keen, Gerry Collier and Cliff Surman 84

Many thanks to Dave Butler for organising the roll-up and delivering the cards to me.

Away at West Berkshire GC Team Witney did battle. Good company, good food, great course ... and you can guess the rest - our hosts beat us 5 games to 1.

If all goes to plan with my move to Devon, the West Berks match will probably be the last match I have lead for Team Witney. My sincere thanks go out to all the Witney Seniors who have supported both home and away matches this season. I know I have nagged many of you to take part but without your cooperation there would be no matches with other golf clubs. Thank You.

Firstly an appeal!

I desperately need FIVE more players for the AWAY match against West Berkshire GC on Thursday 15th September. If you have never played there before I can assure you it is a most excellent course. We normally get there for about 10:00 ish and have a bacon bap and coffee (not included in the price). 18 holes of golf from 11:00 followed by an excellent meal cooked on the premises. Please email me on wlss.captain@gmail.com asap if you want to join Team Witney - thank you.

Tee Times

These have been posted on both the website and in the Sports Bar for the Monthly Medal on Tuesday 13th September and the Ryderless Cup on Tuesday 20th September.

Sign-Up Sheets

There are sign-up sheets on the notice board in the Sports Bar for the Summer Stableford Round 5, Wilf Shirley Shield and end of month 4BBB. Please sign-up asap - thank you.

Volunteer Required

I need a volunteer to run the Roll-Up - Eliminator Team Game on Thursday 15th September. You need to be in the Sports Bar from 7:45, and email me the results after the game.

Talking about volunteering - if you would like to help out on the Seniors' Committee there a a few key roles to fill in the near future. Please give it some thought ...

Lastly

Brian R is off on another jolly ... and has asked 'Muggins' to collect the monthly subs. If you haven't yet paid for September then please see me on Tuesday.
