Bridport v CST
CST suffered their first defeat of the season away at a very breezy Bridport. Players and balls were blown from tees as 50mph winds lashed the cliffs above West Bay making playing conditions almost impossible. Neil Cochran asked for a whip round after golf having lost 10 balls in knee high rough but still managed to half their match with partner Roger Williams.
Match captain John W endured the walk of shame losing 6&4 which would have been much worse if it wasn’t for the valiant endeavours of Jim Lauchlan.
Barrie Heath & Rob Shelley won 2&1
Mark Cording & Dennis Hussey won 4&3
Dave Asquith & Jamie Parkhouse lost 4&2
Martin Leigh & John Baker lost 1 down after been 5 down at the turn to former CST player Tim Ackland. Martin won the bottle of wine for NTP on the infamous 6th hole.
Bridport 3.5 - 2.5 CST

As planned, Bryan Frost's Son- Mark arrived with the Ashes and 13 of us wandered over to Sweet's Copse to scatter his ashes.
Using techniques learned when Chicken Farming, Richard neatly spread the remains around a tree where Bryan spent many a moment knocking his ball back onto the fairway.
The words from a poem used at Bryan's Funeral were read to give the ceremony a little kudos:-
"Life is like a round of Golf" by Criswell Freeman.
Thanks to all those who made the effort to attend, Chris & Rod - who is struggling with a nasty hernia which probably requires surgery.
Thanks to Captain Andy for juggling the Roll-Up to allow the gathering.
Golf
Summer Knockout Pairs:-
Gordon Brent & Jeremy Blackburn took care of Low Handicapper Paul Bennett with Wayne Salter .
Where they meet winners of match above, being played on Friday
The much fancied pairing of John Sweet & Ken Trott, finalists in 1954, came up against the new kids on the block Farmer Bob & Jolly Roger . It was all to play for as they strode up the 15th - but hands were shook on the 16th and Bob & Roger advance to Round 2.
Roll-Up
Numbers varied a little as the rain threatened and Chris G changed the format as numbers changed - but finally agreed to a 3 ball Scramble for the remaining 9. It was soon 10 but James had not read the Blog so was too late for the draw.
| Results | Score | ||
| 1st | Michael Hone, John Pearce, Robert Shelley (8) | 59 | |
| 2nd | Martin Leigh, Andrew Rowland, John Weir (9) | 59 | |
| 3rd | Dave Edwards, Nicholas Hill, Nick Winterson (12) | 62 | |
Amazingly close as usual, with Skipper's Eagle 3 on 5th putting them in the driving seat.
The Back 9 decided it as Rob's crafty ball selection allowed a gross 31 to pull level and finish ahead on the mysterious abacus.
 |
| 5 Handicapper Rob Shelley has no fear of bunker shots as Mike & JKP were quaking at the choice of ball - but a 4 on the 15th was most acceptable. |
