Friday 13th  - Lucky for some Golfers
Captains Charity Greensomes



Currently Teignmouth have only 9 holes open with carry bags and with more rain forecast for the next two days it is unlikely to improve before Tuesday. Norman will ring the office at Teignmouth Monday am and assess the situation with a view to maybe postponing the Challenge cup to later in the year.

Earlier today it was decided that next Wednesday’s Qualifier medal was to be moved to the following week. This was due to a heavy schedule of events for next week which meant some people didn’t fancy playing 4 games in four days, hence reduced numbers. Having checked with the Pro shop I was informed there will be course maintenance work starting on 23rd . So the game will go ahead as scheduled and a new draw with 3 ball rather than 4 ball will be posted on the blog.
On another note, we have the mixed Greensomes event at the end of the months and we are trying to raise some money for our respective charities. It will be appreciated very much if you could donate prizes for the raffle being run on the day.
30 Seniors attended today’s Charity Greensomes. I think there were some deliberate attempts by various groups not to win the event and in fact some conspiracy against me as I had pledged to double the money raised, if I were to win the event. This is exactly what happened and to top it up, surprisingly there were no 2’s either which loaded my contribution further. We raised £75 for my charity doubled up to £150. Thank you all for your donations.

There were some strong groups which should have won the event. Instead it was John MacOmish & myself that ended up with a net score of 64 to top the table. Scores & results are as follows:
