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.

Friday 2nd January 2026

Wow, that was fun as half sky was sunny and half jet black. 6 earlies were out as we sat in Clubhouse chatting about Hogmany and who went to bed earliest...and the disappearing Dowell incident on Wednesday. Apparently Danny had been drawn out with JL..but just left without a word...whilst visiting Family in Berkshire..as someone had inadvertently pit his card out.

Anyway, we looked out and snow was falling and 18th was covered in a thin layer. Naturally our thoughts were with Mark, Jeremy & Co....

.....numbers were exact so no escape for anyone as we prayed for a late draw. Club was very busy as many younger members had the week off.

As forecast, things brightened up.

...although James was well wrapped up.

Spent half hour chatting about Seaton Coffee Shops with Danny & Good Evans. Danny favoured one where a Flat White contained 4 slugs of caffeine......adding it was the only place he got extra shots.
