Monthly Stableford Qualifier

2 Ball Scramble

Pro- Shop Update


Hi Guys,



Would it be possible for you to put something on the blog to say that there is no Senior Coaching today, sorry for the inconvenience, Roy is ill.



Kind Regards,



Mark Atkin | Golf & Pro Shop Manager | Cricket St Thomas Golf Club Limited

Please Note due to a limited number of people who have put their names down for Friday’s Charity Greensomes, it has been decided to do a normal rollup 2B Greensomes with the money for the competition going to the charity but 2’s or birdies to be paid out to teams.

With 9 temporary holes, the March qualifier had to be abandoned in favour of 2 Ball Scramble. The early birds had already teed off before the decision was made on change of format. Those who paid their entry fees at the pro shop, I have been informed that they were refunded through their club account, please contact the pro shop so that they can be sorted.

Several respectable scores were returned, namely Mark Sanders with 38 Points. Under the Rules of Golf, only a certain number of 'Wrong Greens' are allowed before a round of Golf becomes ineligible to count as a Qualifier..not to mention all the bunkers being GUR.

We had 32 seniors ended up playing 2 Ball Scramble today with varying scores between 60.75 and 76.5. The usual suspects ended up occupying the top 4 positions. Well done Dave & John for topping the table.

This format was chosen to allow those arriving for their booked T-Time to join the Roll up and form new groupings.

Results were as follows:

                             Team                                                 Points          Prize Each

Dave Mugridge & John Pearce                                          60.75        £6.00

Mark Cording & Martin Bargery                                       63.50        £5.00

Andy Rowland & Chris Hiam                                           63.75        £3.00

Stuart Pope & Chris Ruddling                                           64.00        £2.00

There were FOUR 2’s paying £2.00  per person

 Dave Mugridge & John Pearce ( Eagle on 17th)                     1                   £2.00

Frank Martin & John Wandless                                         1               £2.00

10th Hole was an experience as JKP was tempted to use putter on his 2nd shot..just 20 yards short of Temp Green...Dave hit some impressive shots as he 'had a bit of a play'.

Amazingly they finished in the money with a classy 3,3,3 finish on the last 3 holes. A 2-Ball Scramble is very different from a 3 or 4-Ball and Bogies are not a death-sentence.

Lovely views today as the sun came out 

And a happy 62nd Birthday to Richard Holmes.
