It was unanimously agreed by all the players today that all proceeds from today's competition go to Ted Fitzsimons charity. Well done everyone.
RIP Ted - we will always remember you.

Turkey Trot

Fourteen players for today's Turkey Trot 3-club challenge Stableford competition at the racecourse. Once again, a chilly north-westerly blowing across the course making scoring quite difficult. Well done to those who dressed for the occasion and in particular John Cooper in his full turkey outfit!!! We were all winners today as there were prizes for all the competitors - thanks to Sam Whiting for organising this and to Dean Butler for his extra contribution to the prizes and for presenting them afterwards.
Top scorer today with 30pts was Derrick Perrin. One point further back was Jon Miller (nice to see him back playing at the racecourse again). Stuart Briginshaw, Jason Allum & Sam Whiting were next in line all on 28pts.

Seniors Xmas Fayre

Today's event for the seniors at the racecourse was the Seniors Xmas Fayre. A 3-club Bowmaker Stableford with nine teams taking part. Scoring was particularly difficult today with a very strong north-westerly wind blowing across the course - tricky with a full set of clubs never mind just two and a putter!!
The winning team today were Richard Hook & Linda Vale (with just a little help from Doris!) scoring 64pts. Second place went to Paul Tebbutt, Roy Whiting & Christine Cooper on 61pts. Third place was decided on count-back With Harry Jackson, Steve Vale & Steve Thompson just edging out the two-man team of Chris Piper & Colin Cox. The top individual scorer today was Colin Cox with 32pts.

Ted Fitzsimons

So sad to report that Ted Fitzsimons passed away yesterday following a short but brave fight against cancer. Ted was one of the great characters at the club who was always ready with a kind word but a wicked sense of humour. He will be greatly missed. Our thoughts are with Ted's wife Maree and his family at this sad time.

Seniors 123 Watlz

A very cold day for the eleven teams of seniors yesterday as they played a 123 Waltz strokeplay competition. The cold wind made scoring difficult, but not for Richard Aldred who shot an excellent gross 71!!
The winning team with a score of 132 was Richard Aldred, Gordon Turner & Richard Cross. Runners up, a full 14 strokes behind were Christine Cooper, Geoff Denner & Derrick Perrin followed by Paul Tebbutt, Allan Trotman & Steve Vale in third place (147).
