Tim Purrett has come into the shop after losing his very sentimental Royal Birkdale poker chip given to him by a very good friend who is no longer with us. Lost somewhere between 1st and 12th.

Could you put something on your seniors blog please.

Please note revised start times for Winter League on Wednesday as we cannot use  the 08:58 & 08:58 slots.

A beautiful sunny, but  frosty day with all holes on winter greens, played  tricks with some while helping others,  to achieve some decent scores. Getting a 2 in these conditions was by pure luck rather than intent as the ball hitting the ground could have ended up anywhere, so well done to the two teams who managed to get theirs.

We had 38 eager seniors turning up to play today’s 3 man individual stableford (all 3 to count). Norman Markby and Rod Young volunteered to play the monthly rolling stableford scoring 32 and 37 points respectively.

Buggy Ban awaiting Frost to clear thwarted Roger, But Ted, Bert & Mick waited it out and were allowed on the Top 9 by 10:00. Later we saw  Terry Hackling back from his neck injury playing with Stuart (call that a slice) Forbes , David Taylor back from eye-surgery , J-Mac from Tatworth-Flu and Mike Light all up to grab a few holes.

JKP Note:- Both 2's were scored by a Richard. The one by 'Sherlock' was in fact an Eagle 2 on the 17th. It was witnessed by Roger Hinds who informs us it missed being an 'Ace' by 2 inches as it slid by the pin and finished just 18 inches away.

The second, by the Chicken Farmer was witnessed by many of us in the 'Start on 16th Group' as his tee-shot drifted left to short of the trees. It was a 20 foot chip that rattled into the hole for a 'two'.
