Results Update
Afternoon all.
Here’s an update for the last few weeks competitions but firstly congratulations to Lee Brookes & Tom Saddington who both had hole in ones this weekend. The 15th & the 3rd respectively. Well played Gents.
A few problems with Club V1 at the weekend which they have now rectified. All scores should now have been entered and handicaps updated.
Presidents Salver
The Presidents Salver was won on the day by one of our junior members Darcy Bembridge. He was 1 shot clear of Martyn Bray in 2nd with Matt Longden & Scott Batty taking 3rd & 4th respectively. These 4 will now play off to decide the overall winner. The deadline dates for these play offs are the 31st July & the 30th September Gents. Winners of these play offs must inform myself or a member of the handicap sub-committee of their result. Failure to play by the deadline will result in elimination of both players from the competition.
Grunhalle
The first round of the Grunhalle series & 10 points, went the way of John Dirienzo with a net 67. David Parish & Tony Walsh were 2nd and 3rd both on a net 71.
Phillipson Betterball
Saturdays Phillipson was won on the day by Scott Batty & Jake Ingman with a net 60 (58 won it last year for reference). Richard Butcher & Mark Corker took the runners up spot with the same score with Danny Hoyle & Joe Gorner in 3rd also with the same score.Countback scores were 29,30 & 31. A close run thing!
Fourth spot & into the play offs, were John Cocker & Alex Maurier on 62.
These 4 pairings will now play off for the overall prize.

Divot Filling & Competition - Thursday 7th May
A quick reminder about this for Thursday. We would like members to come and help with some divot filling on the afternoon of Thursday 7th May. Incorporated into this will be a quick 10 hole competition afterwards.
The idea is to arrive an hour or so early, around 1400-1430, help with the divot filling then play the 10 holes. Members who don’t want to play but would just like to help are welcome to do so.
We currently only have 2 names down so unless it is supported rapidly it will be cancelled. If members prefer another day please shout out. We can change it to another day.
1st & 2nd Team Matches.
The 1st team are at home on Wednesday to Tankersley for their first match of the season. Please come along & support them if you can.
Our 6-18 Team also have their first match on Wednesday away to Wheatley.
We wish both teams well for this week & throughout the season.
Enjoy the rest of your week.
