Cyder Cup Round 1 4BBB
A farewell from Raymond...
John, could you please put on blog, I have had to stop playing golf due to
health problems, and I would like to thank all the friends that I have made
over the years.
We are aware many of you will not know Ray, but he has been a stalwart of CST, Formally Windwhistle, for over 50 Years, having served as Club Captain on 2 Occasions.
A stickler for things being done correctly, expert on the Rules of Golf and lately of course is often seen over by the 6th Green where he maintains a food supply for many of the birds we see around the course.
Our own BirdMan of Cricket.
Great to have 3 more for Wednesday Foursomes - phone Captain or any of us if you can play - It's all for Charity and who knows..you might even enjoy it...07810 880530..Draw will be done shortly...
Watch Out for new Rules on Wednesday - Tuesday 13th - Course Open -
Buggies Allowed - Bunkers on 8/9/10/11 are G.U.R - Preferred Lies are now in
place.
**** Preferred Lies does not mean saying "I got a three" - when you plainly took Five, That would be "Proffered Lies"...
With all the pre-match hype, the event lived up to the
desired expectation in a tight match between Captain’s & Vice Captain’s
select. V C’s team lead by 2 points largely thanks to V C’s antics with team
selection. He will be paying back in the next event on Wednesday as it is my
turn to tweak the Matches. Just like everyone I saw from both teams blaming one
thing or another for their demise, I personally blame the luck Gods for losing
our (myself & Edmondo) game to Mark & JKP. Everything that could have,
should have gone wrong went right for
the opposition. Hitting tree after tree and ending up in play, instead of ball
ending 40 yards at the back of green, why not hit the pin and stop an inch from
the hole. Blaming aside we really had a very close fought game with some really
good recovery shots from Mark to win 3 holes in a row to end with 1 UP after
18.
Some eye-catching scores from Roger Stone & David
Asquith winning their game against Peter Spencer-Far & John MacOmish by
5&4 which was matched by Martin Leigh & Richard Dine winning their
match against Bryan Frost & Nobby Hodder.

can put you in reserves list.

Billy fell at Beecher's Brook again...as this pair that have won so much in the past, were swept away by Martin & Eric.
