Just one final comment,

I know some of you have not been able to reach me quickly on the wlss.captain email address, because sometimes I am not able to get to that email as frequently as I would like.


 If its urgent please try me on my personal email kpslstimms@aol.com
Thanks to all who turned up on a complex day and made it all work (just about)

Congratulations to the May Medal winner Roy Williams

and Geoff Mills for winning the Steve Putt Trophy
Question: why is it not called the Steve Putt Shield ?

Todays result  in addition to the KO prelim with 30 playing the Greensomes competition a very busy course this morning
1st Alan Jones and Martin Buckingham 65 points
2nd James Barnatt and Roy Williams on countback 70 points
3rd Roger Laban and Ron Deacon 70 points

So we have a match Thursday but Brian will be at the Lakes to take your months subscriptions.

Also a plea for players against Stow at home on Tuesday 13th June I am still short by 4 or 5 players. If you want to play at Stow please try and be available for the home game just to make my life easier

Good Evening Golfers

What a Scorcher!!
Beautiful day for golf and a very close result, no brilliant scores but lots crowding in within 4 shots

Divisional Results as below


As you will see the change of the divisions certainly evened up the numbers

Trouble is is gets even harder to win in Div 1 now.

So congratulations to Geoff Mills who wins the Steve Putt Trophy beating Gerry Collier on countback ( Just)

Start sheets for next Tuesday and the team list for next Thursday are also posted now

So on a day where the weather held fine but was not as nice as promised by the authorities 26 of us played Erics game.

When I mused about only paying 1st and 2nd prizes your much loved captain was abused and threatened if only by the two people who were third in each division and their fellow travellers. But as Mrs May so eloquently and gracefully showed earlier this week just changing your mind about something doesn't mean you've done a U Turn or anything else that might show weakness.

So this weeks result

Div 1
1st Tony Ward 17, 2nd Bob Kirkwood 18, 3rd Rod Rapley 18

Div 2
1st Cliff Surman 19, 2nd Mike Dawson 21, 3rd Richard Gent 21

Steve Putt trophy Thursday and who knows how that might end up

So I'm still struggling with How Did I Do but I see the result for last Tuesday arrived this morning, so not convinced its me (or Glyn) it may just be an issue with the web sites.

So todays result.


Congratulations to Ron as overall winner.

It really was a pleasure to walk around the course today unfortunately my walk was spoiled by having Dinger Long insist that I had to whack a silly little white ball from hedge to hedge and tree to tree as I went.

One other change today following the committee meeting it has been agreed to try and even up the sizes of the divisions by moving those with a playing handicap of 22 into division 1. I will keep an eye on the results and see how that goes.

I havent been able to sort the How Did I Do problem, so the result fo yesterdays game by other means is as follows

The only playing handicap reduction is our division 1 winner, plus 2 playing handicap increases 
Malcolm Saunders to 21
Cliff Smith to 23
