Winter League Final Round




The Winter League started today in near freezing conditions with 18 temporary rock hard greens, they did soften up when the sun eventually got through to them.

We will have the official results soon, but we do know the winners are Gingell & Siabi with 265pts,
so congratulations to them, the biggest movers today were Forbes & Hackling who moved into the top 5 with a 14pt increase as they had a 30 to discard.

! would like to thank everyone who took part this year in some rough conditions, there were 23 teams signed up unfortunately we lost one team due to the buggy ban which we all know has been a major problem, the question has been asked why can’t we use are own buggies at our own risk but even if it wasn’t damaging the course it looks like the club still has a duty of care to it’s members and if there was an accident they still could be liable for letting you out on a dangerous course. All the members cannot remember such a muddy or as long a buggy ban as this year. 

 Talking about the Winter League any comments about next year, do we do the same format, do we cut it down to say 6 rounds or any other suggestions for Peter S. F. and the committee to think about. 

Many thanks to League Manager Alan Davis for organising the Comp and doing all the Draws again this Year.

The players highlighted in red played on their own today.

B. Heath Capt.

Roger Davis and Chris Gingell ready for battle as Roger and George need a modest 46 to overturn the lead
But Roger has other ideas as a 79
would put him in the driving seat....
Mike King on the Tee and looking fine...
Lyndsey out early as temperature was down at zero



Excellent round from the In-Form Branchflower ...
...and his little mate.

Dickie being a good sport as usual

Chris on TV with the elusive Mr Siabi

Unofficial Standings - Await Captain Report.


Better search in those secret places


Mrs Jean Clapp and the Ladies from the Bass Brewery Office came up for a quiet Carvery...came last in the Quiz..but picked the right key and opened the box to claim £800 Cash.
All knew Ray Gudge of Course.....




Keith tells us that John Wallis is back in Hospital on 13th March to have a new Heart-Valve fitted..amazingly up through an Artery.
