It's our Annual 'Battle of Britain' Comp

where we raise funds for the RAFA


As Usual Sir Clive Fisk will be going that extra mile, as he will probably be out for the Winter after Surgery.




> I shall be aiming to raise a few ££££’s  for the RAF Benevolent Fund this Friday in the Battle of Britain Trophy  comp.
> As you all know, I have a penchant for dressing up so Friday will be another opportunity!
> It won’t be Pikey this time, a bit more respectable.
> Not sure how much golf I’ll be able to play for the rest of the year and would like this to be a good fundraising event.
> If you can support the RAF fund  with a pledge of a donation please post a 👍with an amount on the blog or email me at: me@clivefisk.com

Long Sutton Match

Gents. Please see attached the results sheet for today’s Friendly against Long Sutton which we won 4-2. Good game with the most hideous storms going all around us but they did not interfere with our matches. Well done to all who played today. Great food too.At the bottom is also the overall score over both legs.



Update on Senior hit by Golf Ball.

Hi all, in answer to Questions,  yes home ok after a few hours at Chard Hospital I have a lovely lump on the side of my head and a bit of Tinnitus. I expect I will have a nice bruise later. Still nobody is to blame. Just the risk when you play golf.

Thanks all for thinking of me.

Cheers 

Great attitude - much respect.



After massive rainfall on Sunday, which closed the Course - it was lush green everywhere as grass had its last flourish of the Year.

The last 4 in Summer KO met to fight for the Cup and I believe Danny & JW had to give Gordon & David 9 Shots.

Never much in it but a great example of pairs Matchplay. We passed them on 14th - it was so quiet we could hear Jim Lauchlan shouting at us to speed up from 3 holes behind.

CST 14th Green



Gordon & David were 1 Up..and managed to maintain that advantage to the very end.

Well done to all that entered - see full table on Club Website under Knockout Competitions.

We were out with Billy & Bob in 4BBB, Billy Teed off on 4th and screamed in anguish as it headed right into very first big tree. Lots of noise and it then emerged 5 seconds later on Ladies Tee. He played a nice 2nd, but bounced just past cross ditch and headed for hedge once again.  Others failed to find it but I went 10 yards further and found his distinctive Wilson in bound and playable - which he then played on to bag a 5 for 3.


He did same on 6th, off white tees and hooked into trees on left with loud thud . I then saw this flash of white descend from on high and land in front of yellow tee-box.

His biggest escape was 13th when he & Bob were in Bunker - with Billy being plugged in vertical face,  Bob failed to escape  to took over as rake-man - but from an awkward stance, he smashed it vertically out ( see Picture) onto Green and managed another 2 points.

Look at angle of ball from face of bunker

Looks like Sir Clive & Mark were the only Team to break  40 and Clive had the temerity to score the only "2".







Friday 5th September 2025

Captain began with an announcement about one of our most popular Members, Sir Clive Fisk. 

Clive was putting on a very brave face, saying "Why not Me ? " and is confident he will be able to resume golf after surgery and is grateful to other Seniors for talking to him and removing some of the Myths.





Most of you know that I have been diagnosed with a rare form of bladder cancer. One that chemotherapy or radiotherapy will not cure.

The “Gold” standard,  that in most cases cures, requires the complete removal of the bladder, prostate and lymph nodes.

Just waiting for an appointment to confirm surgery which hopefully will be soon.

All done by robotic surgery in Exeter.

Feeling very positive about it and looking forward to the “life changing and life saving” procedure. When told and asked, “did I have any questions”?  I can’t tell you what I asked!

If you want to know anything about the early signs of bladder cancer, email me on: me@clivefisk.com Thanks for all your supporting best wishes! It really does help!
