Captain's Update - AGM Wed 13th November.
Seniors, this year’s AGM will be a slightly different format
from recent years. I have posted the following notices on the board in the
changing room.
Friday 27th September 2024
Stuart's comments on Wheathill. After more heavy rain overnight expected that it might be cancelled. Very wet underfoot with many hidden pools. Weather improved to bright sunshine by the finish. Mentioned in my 20 minute speech that the 'greens were excellent'. Then corrected "Sorry that statement should have been with "thanking the caterers'".
Many tight matches making it a very enjoyable day.

Apologies for comments made about Early Golfers in Wednesday game. Thoughtless language was used which caused unintended offence.
Not for the faint-hearted as they teed-off at 09:00 and then 13:00 for the 36 Hole Final.
En-route to the final, Tony had to get past some fancy golfers in his half of the draw; Ian Hildred; Steve Sutcliffe; Roger Hinds; Kevin Barry to name but a few.
In the other half, Muggo seemed to have to play the more exotically named golfers such as Luke De Pasquale and Ian D'Arvelle.
We passed Dave at halfway and he looked confident - 8 Up after the first 18 Holes.
We see on the Club Computer this morning that only Dave Mugridge remained.
The Chard & Ilminster asked Dave for a few comments on his amazing feat.....
"..but then on the 33rd hole, I creamed a 7-iron 193 Yards - but to tell the truth, caught it 1 grove lower than ideal so had a 27 foot 3/1 inch Putt to go 15 up.
.....we crossed to hole 34 and - something unusual happened......

Meantime, It's a cream-tea for me and then round to Dad's tonight

Good morning Andy
34 Rolled up for 3-Ball Scramble and we were way past last tee- time with a Society booked - so Captain made it a 4-ball thanks to Danny & Good-Evans volunteering to go out as a
Summer Knockout Singles
Almost 50 Entered this Singles Match play Comp but by today- just 2 remained.
Vice Captain Keith Hunt ( 18) strode off ahead of 16 Handicapper Wayne Salter.
A well deserved win for Wayne. Was all square until
the 17th when the Vice decided not to play golf anymore, but Wayne won the
final 2 holes in style beating the Vice and winning 2 Up
Summer Knockout 4BBB
Another 50 entered this Comp with their chosen partners as some of the 'chosen-ones' exited stage-left early on.
Today there were just 4 Golfers who shared 6 Names.

| Peter 3-Names talks tactics with Roger Williams whilst on the right, Chris & Ian share tic-tacs as both had been out drinking the night before. We passed Peter on the 15th ( whilst the other 3 were on 9th ) - and he admitted he had not yet hit form but Roger was playing really well-. |
Ok Roger had a great day he was by far the best player on the day. Chris & Ian were 2 up at one stage but Roger & Peter reversed it to them being 2 up and Pete’s 5 nett 4 was good enough for a half on 17 (no one should have a shot on 17) but I’m not bitter...writes our independent Reporter who may have just revealed a slight bias !
Captain Writes :- Well done to everyone that entered this Competition and James for keeping it on schedule by his ever-so polite nagging. Congratulations to the Winners who will be adorned with Silverware at the AGM on Wed 13th November.
 |
| Tony, Mark & Bob walk off 5th with a Birdy 4 ...They carded a Gross 66, nett 55.7 which felt like it was a couple short with bogies on 3rd and 14th - but it was tough into that wind today... |
Warm welcome to our newest Senior - Brian Smith another proud Scotsman and living in Broadway...good impression of our first Roll-Up.....he asked "Is it always this busy ?"
