3-Ball Stableford...Literally

There was a bit of a gathering for the late roll-up but the rain was incessant and most of us gave up by 10:00 despite Mike Hone's ever more optimistic forecasts.

Not sure if anyone else made it out.


Danny & Barry discussing the Summer Knockout as Roger Hinds takes out the Vice Captain in the quarter finals.. Jerry & Bryan play on Thursday


We had an update from Roger:-



Subject: Ian Griffiths Health Update

Hi  Seniors 

Heard from Ian yesterday with an update to his health as follows:
Still waiting for an appointment to go to Southmead Hospital Bristol for a blast to clear the blockage in his gall bladder.
Has now got an internal bleed and having an internal inspection on Friday 16th to find the problem, at Yeovil hospital.

He wishes to be remembered to all and hopes to be knocking some golf balls within the next few weeks.

Regards    Roger Stone
Match Report V Cannington G.C. 13th August 2019
Tuesday 13th August saw our return home fixture against Cannington Golf Club.
We had been successful away to Cannington and were confident of beating them
on home soil and so it proved with a five to one victory. As I do the report I can make
excuses for the one loss registered. Mike King and myself were pretty well thrashed
however only to loose by 3 & 2 was a result. Our opposition both with handicaps of 20
pared the first six holes, made a mess of hole seven but finished the front nine par, birdie.
Ouch, three down after nine could have been a slaughter!
Great day, weather was fine, the course softer due to recent rains but with the greens still
slick. Fine food and good company.

For the record:-

Peter Spencer-Farr/Mike King Lost 3 & 2
Dave Mugridge/Derek Gardener Won 3 & 2
Mark Cording/Nobby Hodder ( Dog Licence ) Won 7 & 6

Barrie Heath/James Siabi Won 5 & 3
Roger Stone/Roger Davis Won 5 & 4
Frank Martin/ Brain Frost Won 6 & 4

Match Result Won 5 to 1.

Congratulations to Dave Mugridge who was nearest the pin on hole 9
and won the bottle of wine.

Next up Bridport G.C. at home on Monday 19th, could be a tougher proposition.

Peter Spencer-Farr Seniors Capt.
