22nd October 2022
Sorry the Blog seems to be all doom & gloom these days....
Windwhistle Club Captain, low handicapper and ornithologist - well he fed the birds up there anyway. Ray was Mr. Golf - always a stickler for the rules and played everything straight down the line. Involved with Somerset Golf and with his contacts in the brewery trade - was very generous with sponsor prizes for Charity fund raising.

..And it's Goodbye Mrs Robinson
many of us attended the funeral yesterday to support Bert Robinson as he said goodbye to his Wife of 62 years.
JKP. Alan D, Ted & Judith, Dickie & Jenny, Nick & Rosemary, Stu & Mauree n, J-Mac
were all there to represent the Golfing part of his life and of course many social gatherings.
Marian was also a Lady Golfer a few years ago and still remembered by some.
As funerals go, it was a very good one and with a proper Vicar and Hymns - a rarity these days. Rev Georgina Vye did an excellent job of making it personal, as Members of Bert's Family stepped forward to pay tribute. 2 Daughters, 1 Son and 6 Grandchildren, and counting were all in attendance, plus many from the local Community, Bridge Club, U3A etc. Marian was an excellent Piano Player and the star attraction of many Family Parties.
We heard many stories of their early life. One day, mid-winter, they were out on Bert's Aerial Hunter Bike and returned shivering to their Caravan in Norfolk and it was like an Iceberg. Marian demanded a Cuppa but they were thwarted by frozen taps. Then they remembered they had put a hot-water bottle in the bed before going out. So they emptied the water into the kettle and had a brew !
It was back to the Caste Hotel in Taunton where Bert was in very relaxed and social mood ( think the Family may have drugged him) as the Tea & Coffee with Buffet graduated into a little 'session' with the bar close by. Dickie started with a G&T in a large fishbowl glass - then returned to the posh bar and berated the Barman " Are you sure you put any Gin in there ?" - and switched to Red Wine !
Thanks to all of you that attended
- it really does make a difference
you know !

Tony Stenhouse News
Thanks for asking for an update Clive . I have been transferred to the BRI
in Bristol awaiting a new valve for my lower
left ventricle through
the balloon method. The procedure is a few
days away and I am waiting
patiently. I’ve been in hospital since
August and two spells before
that in June and July I can’t tell you how
I’m looking forward to
coming up to see you all. God willing
Fingers crossed Tony

| Funny how a guy called StentHouse can't remember the name of the balloon method ! |

HOME V ENMORE
A very busy Tuesday up at the Club, with the Lopen debating Society in their bright yellow shirts were late teeing off as they overran their Team selection meeting. The tee was then jam-packed with 32 Seniors ready to start the final Home Match of the season against a very friendly Enmore Team.
First time playing the new layout and with crib-board greens ( after hollow tining) - the Home Team certainly had an advantage.
JKP was paired up with Mr England and we had the rare distinction of being the 'worst winners' - going to the last hole 1 up and every chance of halving the match until Paul put his 3rd shot near the pin to win the hole and give us a 2-Up win.
We still had to collect the Dinner Money
