Club Championship Results 2020 are in…

Well, we had fantastic weather all weekend with a golf course in great condition and set up by John to be a real test of our golfing abilities on both days. Judging by the scores we all found it to be a challenge but as ever this, our premier competition of the year, was played in the spirit of friendship and humour which befits our club. The occasional expression of grief more than matched with laughter and enjoyment.
To avoid a social gathering in these covid times we decided not to announce the results yesterday and make the presentations as we would normally do.  This also gave me the chance to manage all the men's cards in a covid secure way for which I am grateful.
My thanks to all who took part. At one stage I thought we would not be able to make this event happen but we did so well done to one and all. A special thanks to John, Jake and Sarah for all their earnest efforts and endeavours.
Best wishes

Marking your balls…

A short message from your Competitions Secretary...
I have been advised of several recent incidents where members have played the wrong ball, or worse, have found an errant ball on their fairway and knocked it to kingdom come. The most recent incident occurred in the seniors medal yesterday where a member suffered the penalty of going back to play three off the tee from a drive that was clearly in play! Can I please ask that you adopt the following protocol:
  • Clearly mark ALL the golf balls in your bag with your personal cipher with a permanent marker pen
  • On the tee share your cipher with your playing partners so all know who is playing which ball
  • Where you choose to play a provisional ball on the course make sure the second ball has your cipher and a different number to the first ball played (I actually use a different make of ball with the provisional!)
  • Only play a ball marked with your cipher when on the course
Please leave errant balls well alone - hitting one means loss of hole in match play and a two shot penalty in stroke play. Remember, in these Covid times you are advised to leave them well alone anyway.
Thank you and
Happy golfing
