There are a few that have not yet paid their subs for this year. If you are over 80 then all you need to do is sign the form on the notice board and there is nothing to pay.

For those younger members there are 2 ways to pay.

Cash - put £10 in an envelope and place it in the ‘postbox’ attached to the Seniors cabinet in the locker room

or contact Dave Asquith (Treasurer) for bank details if you wish to pay by BACS

If you do not pay your subs you will not be eligible to take part in roll- ups, friendlies etc

Unstoppable earlies - only 1 team Rolled up but that was enough to take all the money.

Their Score included Three 9-Pointers; Three 8 Pointers; Five 7-Pointers.

No other team scored 9 Points on a hole.

But they did have the best team on paper - all fairly low handicaps.

Lost Ilminster and Somerset Levels

What a busy day as several 100 turned out to support our new Captains.

There was a rather shocked Rod Drayton who was there with Sue & Family to celebrate Rod's 80th Birthday.  " Is it always this busy ?"  - asked Rod.

Rod with his cousin, Mike Light  a few years ago,

Club Captain Kev Barry7 shot 2 Under par Gross 66. 6 Birdies - must have walked in thinking it was his day in the spotlight...but in such a large field, there's always someone that manages to pull out a round of a lifetime to pip you.

Format was an Individual Stableford that was Blitzed by a Senior with a rather amazing back 9 !

Yes, 25 Points

That score was enough to beat 17 Players on their TOTAL SCORE !

Unfortunately, Blog is not allowed to comment on his name, handicap or any aspect of his Golf. Well done to Norman for getting his peg close to James drive, prize is on its way.

Kevin, Julie, James & Kieran

More Dive-In than Drive-in..bet this one doesn't make Carole's Blog

...plus a rather nice glass of Port. What a lovely touch..setting the Bar high for next Year.

Well done to The Captains for organising a glass of port and some lovely nibbles that shows JW disappearing left with a pie & pint   and IH  on the right with Port & a Porker.

Crowds queuing towards the 6th.

Thanks to James Photography marker is shown just short of Fairway Bunker.

and we can see the name of the winner

Few spots of rain earlier, but really nice for the Drive-In

All words about handicaps deleted. too many bollockings, accusations of fake news  and now people concerned about their data, taken directly from Club Computer being put on Blog - so I give up.

Once again, CST avoids the weather and we had a pretty nice day, with just the odd light shower and the course playing quite well. 

The dominance of Branchmanager and over the HillSon  who  won so many competitions over the past 20 years  appears to be over as both carrying health issues and despite the odd flash of brilliance were no match for Markby/Pearce who felt they had played pretty well..until they glanced at the leader board !

Earlies continue dominance and now only an Early team can win the Winter League.

Wayne & Kevin must have thought they'd played one hell of a round, but with only 2 shots - Kevin just could not match the 3-pointers.  15th into the wind was toughest with only one player making a Par 4 - yes, Kev Barry. 

Hunt & Hone, got the Huff as neither of them or their other Half , Hiam & Hulk,  scored a single point on 15 Hole.

Mark I Sanders nearly went OOB on 5th - as he was up against the hedge to the right of the 1st..but luckily Mark II  managed a Par 5 - one of only 2 to make Par ( David A)  ..but of course Kev B made a Birdie 4.

See Winter League Pages for latest table.
