Wednesday 19th October
3 Man Stableford – all to count
Played in almost balmy
conditions, most members scored well today. I was unable to examine the cards
of the winning teams as the Handicap Secretary whisked the cards away. In case
you may be worried about your own handicap, I think it may be that Frank wanted
to frame his own card. However, Frank’s team were beaten into third place by
the MacOmish/ Willerton/ Griffiths
team who were consistent throughout. They were only pushed into second place by
the Dowell/Wallis/ Spencer-Farr team, helped along by Danny’s 5 birdies.
There were 17 birdies each
paying £1.20 per team.

Bridport Golf Club are having to make some tough decisions, as reported in local paper.
That’s what members have been told – but directors have moved to reassure members and the community that despite ‘ongoing economic pressures’ its future is ‘pretty positive’.
The belt-tightening involves cutting administrative costs by making the secretary redundant and terminating the club professional’s contract.
Letters to members from directors said: “Due to on-going economic pressures, the club has realised that it has to reduce its costs significantly in order to remain a viable operation.
Brian Hodder had a successful prostate removal on Monday and I think is back home earlier than expected. Stuart Pope had his op yesterday, but I think Norman's description of a 'Voice-Box' reduction was a bit unfair.
Keith Branchmanager phoned up with the sad news that Fran had lost her Mother overnight, but at 102 what a great life she must have had.

Talk about unfair, I walked into so many 'ticking-off' situations today I almost felt like giving up reporting..if it wasn't so much fun.
Bryan Frost approached me looking very sad as I had listed him for 'Ted's Night' as "Mr Nobby Hodder & Mrs Brenda Frost" - and he said Brenda was his Wife's name and it gave him an eiree feeling to see it in print, so had to apologies.
Next was Gordon Hughes ( becoming my best customer after Nobby) who went on and on about Domestic and Club and a reduction on his handicap that had ended and how I robbed him on 15th when he should have got 2 shots as he was back on 22...( I have translated what he said back into English)...
so I showed him his card that his handicap as 21....
..but he only hesitated for a milli-second and said 'weeeel it wisnah me that rote that '
and then I was straight into Bim's Gun Sight for not publishing the Nobby Story. Apparently he went into Pro Shop to borrow a brolley to put the buggies away...when asked " What's wrong with the new one you won in the Open " ?- he just remarked that he didn't want to get it wet !
Got a few more for the Winter League again, Hall & Denman and Brian Marsh seeking a partner.
4 More for Ted's Night on 26th Oct, now up at 57 I think.
Geoff & Janice Dean, with Chris & Rita Denman.
Carrying on as I await Captain's Report...
Waiting on first we watched in merriment as tight tee position caught out some of our finest...
..and we had a nature moment as a Robin came and joined us...

and Phil out with his new mates...
 |
| until now..I felt the early birds lacked class.... and even more as 18th Tee continues to grow with more paths being beautifully constructed by the Team. |
 |
| Leave 17th, head to 18th with nice little buggy turning circle and then back along path again for 50 yards as it heads up 18th. |
