Multiplier September 29th 2020. Report via Mike Healey.

Multiplier Result Another great day weather wise. More sand is being spread on the greens and they are settling nicely but there is still work to do.

Here are the results: Three Balls- First: Bernard Fildes, Ralph Howard, Damian Atkin 111 points £5.00 each Second: Don Wraight, Neville Bassett, Tony Owens 100 points £3.00 each Four Balls- First: Mike Hollings, Dave Fergus, Alan Barnsdale, Mike Healey 86 points £2.00 each

The following report came via Mike Healey. Hello All – Before I (Mike Healey) announce the result (and you will see why in a minute) I have to pay compliment to my playing partners who carried me except for my four drives and a couple of putts. Texas Scramble - The competition ran very smoothly – all 13 three balls turned up on time, kept the pace going and the last grouping arrived home after 3 hours 30 mins. Despite ground staff working around the course, it was in good condition and even the greens with tining and sand were not that bad. The forthcoming rain will wash most of it away and service will be resumed as normal. Hayley met us with food and drink outside and the day could not have been more pleasant. Result: Three prizes today. First - Alan Barnsdale, Bob Jarvis, Mike Healey 57.8 £6.00 each Second - Tony Jackson, Mike Drake, Dave Talbot 60.4 £4.00 each Third - Mike Parks, Bill Kelleher, Damian Atkin 60.8 £3.00 each

Yellow Ball competition September 17th 2020

Report from Mike Healey courtesy of Steve Monk. Hi Guys - another great day to play golf. The Senior Committee passed on their compliments to Mark and his ground staff for the superb course condition and we could not have asked for better. One or two members were chatting about speed around the course and the tail-enders managed four hours and were quite happy. Let's keep that going. I found myself flitting between three groups at the outset trying to accommodate one non-show and one late-show (in fairness to both members they kept us informed.) We finished with seven Three Balls and five Four Balls Yellow Ball Result: Three Ball First: Ken Tieszen, Bob Jarvis, Bill Kelleher 137 points £5.00 each Second: Steve Monk, Mick Carnell, Dave A Jones 128 points £2.00 each Yellow Ball Result: Four Ball First: Damian Atkin, Chris Jacques, Dave F Jones, Dave Talbot 158 points £4.00 each Second: Dave Jones, Don Wraight, Graham Bryne, Mike Healey 147 points £1.00 each

Seniors Waltz competition September 1st 2020

Many thanks to Mike Healey for the following report. What a lovely day for golf. The threat of rain never materialised and although preferred lies were the order of the day, we could not have asked for better conditions. 36 seniors turned up in good time, distancing was good and best of all, the scoring at the top was extremely close, with only three points between the top six cards. Result of today's Waltz: First: Dave Jones, Alan Bottomley, Ken Tieszen, Bob Brown 76 points (Countback - 39) Second: Bill Kelleher, Alan Barnsdale, Mike Parks, Keith Jones 76 points (Countback - 36) Third: Mick Carnell, Dave Talbot, Irwin Elkin, Derek Jones 76 points (Countback - 33) 2 x 74's and a 73 were close runners up but alas come away solely with the satisfaction of being close contenders.
