Competition Entries

Now we have successfully re-located into our new base in Nuffield, there is a new process for entering club competitions. Unfortunately, we have not been able to find a place to locate the stamp machine.
The entry sheets for up and coming competitions will be located on a notice board just inside the golf club office area and competition stamps (£3 per stamp) will be available to purchase from the golf reception. You can then put your stamp with your name on it onto the relevant entry sheet. Our treasurer, Sam Whiting, still has some stamps available to purchase direct from her.
Please buy stamps and enter the competitions in plenty of time before the closing dates as it makes the organisation of booking tee times and doing the draws a lot simpler.
Why not buy a few stamps in advance so you are ready to "lick-em & stick-em" in plenty of time?!
Many thanks.

Seniors 123 Waltz Strokeplay

A bit of a misty and chilly start for the seniors today but no complaints ... it's still DRY!!!
Twelve teams of three competed today in a 123-Waltz Strokeplay. Well ... most of them did apart from the ones who didn't read the rules on the start sheet, played it as a Stableford and had to be DQ'd - sorry!

Today's winning team with a score of 132 were Paul Tebbutt, Rod Spring & Steve Vale. Runners-up, just one stroke behind were Malcolm Passey, Geoff Denner & John Clark followed by Allan Trotman, Brian Grace & Steve Thompson on 135.
