Sir Clive was asked to deliver a Tribute at the Funeral.
ALASTAIR WAS A TRUE GENTLEMAN,
A LOVELY MAN
HE WAS A SENIOR MEMBER OF CST GOLF CLUB
SENIOR MEANING HE PLAYED WITH A LOT OF OLD FOLK LIKE Brian,
Eric, Mark and myself, representing members of CST.
OUR SMALL GROUP IS CALLED “THE EARLIES” WE HAVE
RESERVED TIMES TO PLAY JUST AFTER 8AM ON MONDAYS WEDNESDAYS AND FRIDAYS.
A RANDOM DRAW IS TAKEN AND WE TEE OFF IN TEAMS OF 3 OR 4 IF YOU WERE LUCKY, YOU MIGHT HAVE BEEN DRAWN TO PLAY WITH
ALASTAIR.
IF ALASTAIR PLAYED A DUFF SHOT, HE NEVER THREW ANY TOYS OUT
OF THE PRAM. HE MIGHT BE HEARD TO SAY “WHOOPS”!
A TRUE GENTLEMAN,
EVERY YEAR THE SENIORS HAVE A CHARITY COMPETITION.
MY ROLE THIS YEAR WAS TO GET SPONSORSHIP PLEDGES FROM THE
“EARLIES”
ALASTAIR REPLIED TO MY GROUP EMAIL WITH A PLEDGE; TO BE PAID
WHEN NEXT UP TO PLAY.
REGRETTABLY THE ONSET OF HIS ILLNESS MEANT HE COULDN'T PLAY
ANYMORE.
HOWEVER, HE MADE A SPECIAL TRIP TO THE CLUB, JUST TO PAY A
SPONSORSHIP.
A TRUE GENTLEMAN.
HE WILL BE
SADLY MISSED.
Friday 4th October 2024
Busy day with Top 7 all getting reductions in Handicap Index...except....
Charles Summers who came 5th and got an Increase...
..don't we just love this new system ?
Heard news that Dickie Hall is still in Hospital and pretty poorly, please keep us updated if you hear anything.
John Sweet was also chatting about his successful move into a new Bungalow in Glynswood, Chard. Seemed upset that no-one had noticed he had been missing for 2 weeks...
Well, with the sun shining we thought it would be busy and it certainly was.
35 Rolled up at 08:45 and add these to the 8 11 Earlies, Gordon & Neil, Mark x 3, Ian, Clive, Terry H, Dennis, Brian Smith
So John Wandless took charge and fiddled , sorry arranged the order of play. Thanks to Billy, Terry & John for offering to fill some of the spare slots around 08:50 which were free.
Funny how many then complained about 'Out last Again' , or "I've been here since 08:00" ..or just unhappy with threesome..yet they had remained silent when we asked if anyone else wanted to go out early !
Anyway, thanks to JW for sorting it all out and pairing up the four sharing buggies.
No results yet, but did see Martin Bargery Birdie the 2nd to start his round...
We probably exceeded our tee times, but we had to stick to 3-balls as a Friday rule - with the Club being very busy.
I heard the shout "Not Already' as an observant spotted Christmas Decorations being put up by Boss-Lady Jackie. I wandered over and found it was Hawaiian themed garlands of flowers for a special day for the Ladies. They had planned to be away at Bowood , but the recent news on Past Club Captain Jimmy Patch had impacted the planning so they organised this alternate function, celebrating Jimmy being flown home form Portugal today to continue his recovery from Meningitis.
Some of them certainly dressed for the part.
Danny thinks I'm at Zumba Classes...
Wednesday 2nd October 2024
Most scores in 60's but one team was in the 80's as a certain Keith Branchmanager - scored 40 points on his own...
This , of course, was outdone by Sir Phillip de'Hunt on the 8th hole - where he chipped in for a 'Two' and 5 Points...
