Friday 13th July
3-Ball Waltz 3,2,1




An unexpectedly large turnout today considering the lots of extra matches played during the week. 18 early birds and 27 later souls fought-out  a 3 man team regressive bowmaker. 3 to count 1st 6,  2 to count 2nd 6 and 1 to count 3rd 6. I personally hate this format because it takes me at least four holes to get going! Perhaps it's just me? There was a delay at the start because of an early morning mist with 'El Cyd' holding back the tide. A number of teams had already reached the fifth but had to pause. This quickly cleared and play resumed. We welcomed a new member today, Richard Holmes, still a current member at Wareham and plays off a handicap of nineteen. He drew the short straw and played with Nobby and Bill Hilson. Richard promptly birdied the first (I’ve never done that before) and will prove a serious combatant. There were an impressive 21 birdies today but special mention must go to Jeremy Blackburn who eagled the 17th for his birdie, well done!. A query arose as to whether although on one of the 'only one to count' holes two players recorded birdies, should they both warrant birdie money. The argument being that it is a separate competition. Our esteemed captain being extremely nice said ok but the consensus is that, in future, as only the first ball would be in play that only that birdie would be eligible.

Winnings were shared £8.00 each for first place, £5 each second and £2.00 each third. Birdies £0.35 per team member.

Reminder, this  Monday’s roll up is off as the ladies have a south west rally.

Yours Peter Spencer-Farr Vice Capt.

Captains Match Report vs Rushmore 12/07/2018 (away)

Yet again we travelled to an away match where once again we played in hot sunny conditions apart from near the end were we had a shower for about 10 to 15 minutes, once again we played on hard, (we should be getting used to this by now), fairways but then onto greens that had been well watered.

Unfortunately we came a distant second but I think it was played in a good spirit, and the food was excellent, as our home match was cancelled back in April because of the weather,
we are trying to find a suitable date, but as they have 38 matches it may be difficult.

 
RESULTS

Barrie Heath/ Roger Davis                  Lost 3&2
George Wallace/ Ray Gudge              Lost 4&3
David Mugridge/ Barry Singleton     Lost 4&2
Roger Stone/ Ian Griffiths                  Lost 1 down
James Siabi/ Mick Aldridge                Lost 4&3
John Twose/ Andy Beale                    Lost 5&3



Match Result= Lost 6-0

No other way to put it, we got stuffed, but those I spoke to said that they enjoyed the course and would like to play there again.
