Wow, that was an interesting day- hammered by rain at back end of the round which must have curtailed scoring somewhat.

Recognize this happy couple ?

Well, it should have been a washout, but thanks to David Asquith who forecast murder for the earlies but fine after 09:30 - there was actually a good turnout, although Chris G had given up on the memorial Trophy by then.

What David did not tell us was that at 09:25  Moses was running a recreation of the Biblical Nile floods when the heavens opened for 5 minutes of an absolute deluge.

Typical of CST, however, at 09:31 we all strolled around the Course with no sign of what had just happened - except for some pretty wet clothing.

Great Round by Martyn, Rob & Roger  who came back with 45 Points to amass more than 80 Points - in those conditions.

Martyn put it all down to some putting tips from Rob and he couldn't miss.

Quite a few Notices up on the boards for your attention.

5 or 6 Interclub Friendlies which could do with a few more names.

Big push from James

Final push to get get a few more signings for Round 3 of The Challenge Cup at Orchid  Leigh Golf Club on Friday 12th June.

A very nice course to play golf. Cost £37 including coffee & bap.

As mentioned before, it is not necessary to play in all 3 rounds to qualify for the final at St. Pierre on July 27th.

Top 3 finishers of each round are almost guaranteed to qualify in the point based system that the competition is based on and even 4th or 5th position may get qualified depending on other scores of course.

If not sure about the course, ask those who have played it before.

The list is being taken down of Friday but I will accept entries until Monday afternoon.

Well, we were warned and so it transpired as I look out of the window to see Laveteria bending 45 degrees as the rain sheets down.

3 Earlies went out, Ark, Mark & Den...but a small roll up gradually drifted away to zero.

The tee was not deserted, by any means as Summer KO continued.

Chris G and Ian Hildred set out against Billy & The BranchManager.. each Team fielding a Left Hander to cope with the wind.

I had this vision of Ian confidently making Birdie on 1st and Billy making Bogey...to halve the hole as he was getting 25 shots...

Looks like Ian & Chris prevailed as some big clashes lined up for Quarter Finals.

Another high powered 4 ball also departed down the Fairway as Farmer Bob and Jolly Roger took on the confident Steve Holt & Dave Mugridge pairing...hard to predict this..but the pairing from the "wrong side" of the A358 are not likely to concede anything just because hurricane Henry ims passing through.

Dave And Steve won 3/2 but rog/Bob were two up until the 10th then the winners eventually got thei game together

The up & down life of John & Anita Sweet continues as the decision to restore his driving licence has been revoked and he needs our help if we can share the burden twixt us all.

Monday 1st June 2026

In the Summer Knockout - Mark K and Neil C  polished off Good Evans and the Vice Captain 3 & 2 in a ding-doing battle as Neil may face Ian again in the Singles.

Ian was somewhat jaded as he had travelled to London for a quiet celebration of Arsenal's Season - but and estimated Million others had the same idea.  Ian related some harrowing tales of crowded pubs, toilets & food outlets that cost him a big loss in   Avoirdupois   and  much more in Sterling, but he'd happily do it all again !

A warm welcome to two new members

 Dave Austin & Gary Millward

Norman 4 cars and Bob 5 " T's " - both rattled the pin on 13th missing out on even more "2's" money.

 ..and by way of Ying & Yang- we said goodbye to 

   

Roger Williams  who has moved back to Cornwall.

Jim Lauchlan

who has hung up his clubs and retired from golf.

More news from our owners, 

The Cricket St Thomas Country Inn  will  be opening on July 1st.
