A great day's golf today weather was warm with a strong wind at times. The course is again running fast as we have not had any rain for a while. The greens were much harder and faster today as the sand on them is slowly disappearing.

Nearly a full set of players today with 18 making the game, a profitable day to win.

We have the JJ Cup coming up at the end of the month which I am sure we are all looking forward to and hoping the weather will last. Previous years have been a mixed bag.

A great win for Jason today with 37 points narrowly beating Tony who had 36 points.

Reports from our people on the course today.

From Jason

"Martin D realised on the 3rd that he hadn’t charged his battery, he then showed battery power anxiety, just like an Electric Car drivers first long journey, as he tried to manage to get him all the way round and up the 16th!"F

From Tony

"Paul, I just hit 4 iron 274 yds down the 15th"

then later

"My drive on the 15th has to be headline….!! Especially as I parred the hole as well!!"

So I put it second headline

From Roger G

"I parred it as well. 340 yard drive BUT I’m not boasting"

Countered by Tony

"But I did it with a 4 iron….!! Plus I got a 4 for 4….!!"

From Paul

"The solar eclipse made me miss a 1 foot putt on 14"

A plethora of seven birdies today with Steve B taking two, well done Steve.

I myself hit a great 3 wood from 180yds out into the 18th to 10 feet but failed to make the birdie. When I hit it I thought it was a poor shot but it kept on going.

In my group James started with a great birdie on the first.

The average gross score today was 94.44 points and the average Stableford score was 29.89.

Best gross of the day was from Pete Laurence with 82.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 7 birdies today.

  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...

It was good to be back on our home course after visiting Donnington Valley last weekend, I will never complain about the slopes on ours again. The greens were in excellent condition today, unfortunately the ropes have been put up to protect the approaches and it is a long walk from your trolly when you end up short of the green. The weather was fairly kind to us today with a few showers towards the end. A small field of only 9 players with no outrageous scores. The course was fairly empty today and we had a leisurely four hour round. An excellent score from Steve Reynolds today to take first place, not the bridesmaid on this occasion. Martin Lythgoe asked for a picture of the colourful bruise he inflicted on me last Monday, he said it was for his wife. I (Paul), thought I was playing well today after a reasonable front nine but 1 point from the first four holes on the back put paid to any hope of winning anything. A special shout out to Andy for his par on the 11 his first of the year,...
