Entry Fee: £15 for food taken out of individuals club account or paying at the bar if not enough funds available
Entry fee: £2 to be paid in cash to the Captain on the day
Prizes:
NTP on the 8th for the ladies & the 13th for seniors. A bottle of wine awarded to the person who had the NTP shot.
The remainder of entry fees received will be divided amongst the players in finishing:
1st (50%), 2nd (30%) and 3rd (20%)
As we are not doing a raffle to collect some money for the respective Charities, a Hole-In-One competition will be held for those who want to contribute £3.
Ladies have decided not to enter so it is only the boys, hence the full amount raised will be the first amount raised for the Seniors' Charity this year. Should anyone get a HIO ** , they'll get the lot, as they will need it, knowing how many people are playing.
** HIO is a NHS Acronym for Hernia in Overhitting.
Alternatively, we can play Irish Bingo we did at the AGM. I shall check this out with the Ladies Captain & see if they wish to join in. The last person standing will get 2 bottles of wine. If the Ladies decide to join in, the proceeds from the collection will go proportionally to respective charities 2/3 & 1/3
An alternative start sheet is produced at the bottom of this attachment to cater for the possible buggy ban. Irrespective of personal buggies being banned or not, they have been removed from the original start sheet at the top. This way we will avoid making 3 start sheets which is not fair on the person who has to manage & update the system accordingly.
Good luck for the day & thank-you for joining in and making it a fun day.

A very fine day with over 40 rolling up. James, Ian, Rob etc went out alone as no Club Buggies and another 36 had fun in the Sun.
( note Club was closed Sat am due to overnight rain)
We spend ages working out Handicaps for a Scramble - but as usual, we could just as easily played it off scratch - even this tricky format with ZERO spare drives.
Jolly Roger's Crew scored Gross 62
Really...Four "Twos" !!!

Pictured on 13th Bob, Nick 1, Nick 2 & Muggo - taking relief from the Bunker.
Gordon, Jeremy, Neil & Ian were well ahead after 9 holes - 7 better than the Par 54 with 61 Points. Pictured Team had only 56 so they were 5 points behind.
The 13th, however, proved a turning point. The earlies scored a meagre 4 Points - Gordon was still celebrating his "2" on the 12th, Ian managed 2 points with a Team Total of 4 on this hole.
Farmer Bob, leaning casually on his putter, was licking his lips. None of the 4-ball had a shot as it was Stroke index 16 - but Bob made par, Nick 2 made par and Nick Gabb slid his ball into the hole for a Match-winning "2" and a Team Hall of 7 Points - Muggo took free relief from the bunker - but was not needed .
one hole later , the other Nick made a birdie 3, Dave & Bob made Par and their total of 9 points put them ahead of the earlies for the first time. They were even-steven over last few holes and the back-9 gave them the win after scored were tied.
I had to issue a public apology to Nick Gabb who was on the practice green for 40 minutes . I foolishly commented, as he finished every put , even those of a few inches.
" Why do you bother tapping all those in I asked ? "
