Jerry Stephens

For anyone who remembers Jerry (Jeremy) Stephens I am posting to let you know that he sadly passed away on Saturday 29th August following an 8 year battle with MND.

The funeral will be held at Yeovil Crem on Friday 25th September at 2pm followed by a wake at The Cricket St Thomas Country Inn (formerly The Windwhistle) should you wish to attend.

Many thanks  Neil Cochran

Just an update on Roger Davis.

He has his operation today at Musgrove at around 1pm.

This operation opens his artery in his neck and clears any obstruction.

He seemed in good spirits when I wished him good luck from all of us yesterday evening.

I will let you all know how it went when Kate lets me know later.  Ian H.

Another fine day and dominated by earlies who have been pretty quiet for a while.

Well done to earlies for ensuring the 2 ball had an adjudicator for the 4BBB  ( Mark S)  as rules state:-

 under the World Handicap System (WHS) and England Golf rules, you must have at least one independent marker/attester who witnessed your round, but that person does not have to be another player.

John Wandless was attester to late starters as Dave & Rob were in a 2-ball.

I swear that Golfer Mugridge put his ball OOB on 4th  and the one found by Golfer Evans was one he had lost in a previous round.

JKP Birthday today 09/09/1947
we passed Bert Robinson , out with Andy & Eggs - 
I proudly announced " I'm 79 today", to which he calmly responded "I'm 90 in October" !

..made me feel such an amateur.

Congrats to Martin Bargery & Peter 3-names for being one of the top visiting teams at Honiton on Sunday - which via the WHS had slashed Peter's  Handicap for today.

  Apol for any confusion on Blog Headlines  Monday, which said:-

  " Busy day with Texas Scramble and a match against Nun got Lost..yep , another Scramble etc "

Nun got Lost was an anagram  for Long Sutton - but apparently defeated all but the smartest amongst you ! 

Just added Sir Nick Gabb  to the Blog Editorial team, so look abgout for some innovative posts in the near future.  Nick has been assisting Chris G for quite a while now and formulated today's results on his laptop,

Welcome Nick.
