Remember - there is no Roll-Up on Wednesday
With the threat of showers, 31 Seniors Rolled-Up for a Discard ...and guess what it stayed dry until just passed 13:00 - but unfortunately The Captain & a strong Team in The Somerset Bowl were only halfway around the Course.
Captain Reports:-
We
got slightly soggy, some more than others - the ones that won early could walk
in.
 |
| Apologies if 'Flipping' offends anyone... |
Many thanks to my Team and special mention for Keith Hunt - who Rolled-Up at 08:30 for a discard and suddenly found out he was playing in The Match - Comms Fooba I guess - but took it well and played his part.
 |
| Ken Putts for a 5 on 10th ..which today is worth 4 Points as a Par 5...was this the Putt that edged them towards the winning score ? |
 |
| Ray on Mike on 12th - Course is in fine condition everywhere you look.....well not down there, obviously Mike ! |

| International Traveller John Sweet back from a Wedding in Cyprus. 11Lbs Lighter; 4 shades darker and £6,472 poorer - Thanks Granddad ! |

With 23 of our more competitive golfers away at Knighton Heath, Captain had smartly reduced Roll-Up slots back to the Club.
In the event 5 Earlies rolled up to play an Individual.
JKP arrived a bit late for 2nd Roll-Up, so early sheet was not picked up or submitted to Pro Shop ( apol)..Uncertain if JKP could finish round ( phone call) - so other 3 joined him for a bit of fun in 4BBB Matchplay. Barrow / Trott versus Hilson/Pearce.
Expected shops seemed to miss us apart from one very fine dusting, Very competitive 4BBB with farmer Bob playing out of his skin, especially the back 9.The mathematics were against Bob as he had 15 shots, but with Billy's 33 - there was never a hole where Bob wasn't conceding a shot. Billy was smashing his 3 wood off the Tee farther than any one else was driving ..and kept doing it most of the round. Bob had lots of par Holes, but either Bill or JKP was there to, claim a shot of 2. JKP chipped for a 2 on the 2nd , which didn't help Bob !
On 1st Hole, JKP was playing 3 and still short of the corner - so asked Bob to step aside as he attempted the corner, over the top of the Club Buggy. Ball hit the hedge, bounced back through the passenger opening and exited the drivers opening...so luckily Bob was not seated inside.
It was a fun game with barely as shot in it.Bob thought he'd squared it on 18th, but Bill putted in for a 5, net 3 equaling Bob's Par once again...
Nice to see Lyndsey Gage up in the Clubhouse after Keyhole Surgery on his knee the previous day.
Also met the new Club Professional, Mr David Partridge who was busy 'moving-in' and will soon be offering his services. An Experienced Pro but after a few years of Tiger-Woods type back Surgery and then a battle with the Big-C - mainly concentrates on his duties as a Club Professional and seems like a nice guy.
Monday 23rd May
Remember on a team card Two signatures are required.!!!
Friday 20th May
Today the weather won. Four early birds set off but the 8:45 players decided it was toooo wet so the comp was knocked on the head.
Take care when marking cards. Ensure that the Competition Name Players name (no nick names), The Date, Correct Handicap Index, Players signature, Markers signature (initials will do) and the correct GROSS scores are all there. Failure to do so will end up with a Disqualification.
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!!!!

SENIORS CAPTAIN’S
CHARITY DAY REPORT
SMASHED
OVER £2000.00
RAISED IN A
SINGLE DAY
The
Seniors Captain’s Charity Day was held in very pleasant and benign weather on
Thursday, 5th May. Sixteen 8 man teams took part, with Teams coming from as far
away as Wrangaton and The Dorset, both of whom are ever popular visitors. We
were able to raise 3 Cricket St. Thomas teams plus the “Sinners”, a select CST
team. Stuart Pope’s rugby playing mates from Cranleigh made their usual
appearance and a good day was enjoyed by all. The Cheddington Wanderers
reconstituted as Lyme Regis, which did cause a little confusion.
The
Charity Day cannot take place without the help and cooperation of others. I need to give a significant amount of thanks
to many:
•
Alex
Hill and Cricket St. Thomas management
•
Matt
Contreras in the Pro-shop
•
Tim,
Kris, Dawn, Penny, Katie and the rest of the front of house staff at Cricket
St. Thomas, for their cheerful and unstinting efforts before, during and after
the day, and for producing such an excellent post match meal.
•
John
Wandless and Quinny Lawrence for their efforts in record keeping and scoring.
Quinny’s computer wizardry enabled all to see their results displayed on the
Big Screen in quick time.
•
Dave
and the rest of the green keeping staff for their efforts in presenting the
Course in tremendous condition
•
Dave
& June at the Starters Hut.
•
John
Pearce and Chris Gingell for their invaluable assistance in producing and
placing the Sponsor boards, NTP’s and similar signage.
•
James
Siabi for all his organisational skills and many others erecting Gazebos ( we
must order our own one)- so many of the Seniors involved in one way or another.
•
Clive
Fisk in driving forward the Sponsorship of the holes, allowing us to raise £1500+
via these efforts
•
Special
mention to Alan D for not only his hole sponsorship, but submitting the highest
bid for the Henry vacuum
- But thanks to every sponsor of the holes, we hope you enjoyed the signs, and all those bidding for donated prizes.
•
Dickie
Hall for his raffle and its money raising efforts - over £600 raised
•
Those
who contributed prizes for the raffle

The
Ladies Section and our wives and partners for their efforts in producing and

Cricket St. Thomas logo’d Titleist Golf Balls.
The
highest Pair score prize of a bottle Red Wine each was won by Edmondo Paoloni
and John MacOmish, with a score of 44 points, won on count back, beating 2
other Pairs
The
Team of “Sinners” came second overall with a score of 164 points, winning a
bottle of Red wine each.
Local
knowledge appears to have come to the Fore this Year with the Winners’ Trophy
being wrestled away from Wrangaton.
The
Winning Team were CST1, with a total of 169 points. Each Team member received a
bottle of Red and a bottle of White wine for their successful efforts.
The
Seniors of Cricket St. Thomas GC look froward to welcoming everybody back for
the next edition of the Senior Captain’s Charity Open. Many thanks for coming
