Scores for Saturday 01 March 2025




After a week of on and off course closures we had a glorious day's golf. The day started cold with frost on some greens, this soon cleared. All bunkers were out of play due to the rain we had during the week.

A good turn out of 14 players today. James and Duncan were playing in the Winter Foursomes final but unfortunately lost their match., well done for getting that far though.

Scoring was generally not great with a low average Stableford.

Dan was having a great round but it all collapsed on the back nine with too many visits to the undergrowth.

Pete Laurence was a worthy winner today to help improve his win strike rate, no doubt the alignment of the planets worked for him. Jock coming in second was a surprise for him when I mentioned it on the eighteenth. Steve Brewerton a commendable back 9 win despite still nursing an injury. A solid front 9 win for Peter Creighton.

Some great birdies for four points for Coenraad, Pete Laurence and Roger Gibbs well done to all of you

I'm (Paul) off to Tenerife for some sun next weekend just what a pale skinned red head needs, the first time we went Covid was kicking off and we thought we where all going to die, this time it's World War Three. The weather this coming week looks a lot better.

The average gross score today was 94.57 points and the average Stableford score was 28.14.

Best gross of the day was from Pete Laurence with 81.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 3 birdies today.

Pete Laurence with 1 on hole 13.
Roger Gibbs with 1 on hole 14.

Middle of the green today! Windy again today, but that wasn't a problem! A nice warm brisk breeze from the south made it seem like we were driving into the wind for the most part today but we seemed to cope ok with that, it was the greens that were the problem. Even the best puts today were coming up short or swerving from the hole. All of them spent more time in the air than on the ground just bobbling along.  13 players set out today but only 12 returned. Jock was lost somewhere along the way leaving a 2-ball to wait patiently behind our 4 ball. Steve and Martin both made the most of the extra time they had (see below) Average scores were not great: 99.25 average gross score and 26.25 average stableford score. Judging from what I saw the putting was the biggest contributor to extra shots.  Only 2 birdies today. Martin Lythgoe on 10 and Brian Geddes on 18. Well done both! Still the extra time that Steve Reynolds had as a result helped him refocus for his back 9 and he came in...

  Due to Brian moving in the next few weeks the newsletter team is looking for a person to assist with the production of this newsletter, do you have the skills required, a flair for an arty production, at least a grade C in English Language 'O' level or GCSE. Please make contact. No interview required and no remuneration provided, what more could you want? Anyway on to the golf.................... The day started out a bit chilly but turned into a beautiful day. The course was in fabulous condition with the bunkers that were in play in a good state. Lots of work going on around the course with a number of bunkers being worked on and the removal of the old winter green on the second, how many more will disappear I wonder?  A chip in for Andy Simpkin on the 6th to make a par even though it was a thinned shot, but I won't mention that. A monster 50ft putt for Jason on a hole that escapes my memory, told you I would forget by the time I got home Pete L. The average gross score...

  Ball hunting was the game this week, at least for some of our number. The rough has thickened given the recent rain and sunshine combination and it's making it very hard to find balls that find their way in, not ideal for our standard of golf. This combined with the firming up of the course would make ideal conditions for our one and only metro-gnome and it looked like he was in the hunt on the front 9 until his groin gave out following the other side effect of good weather, gardening duty. I have a sign for you Paul, refer to it on Thursdays or Fridays.... Anyway rest up and we'll see you back to form in no time.  The weather this week was stunning, summer having followed us back from Menorca, thankfully the wind hasn't followed us! The course is in fantastic shape but they have let the greens grow out a bit making putting pace a bit tricky to judge. I'm sure this resulted in a few shots left out there this week, it did in our group.  Average scores this week reflect...
