Scores for Saturday 16 August 2025


Weather conditions were good today as we are still experiencing the heatwave. Work on the course is due to start on Monday 18th August, new and refurbished bunkers on several holes which will result in temporary greens hopefully only during the week and not at weekends.

It was the penultimate Summer League game today and some good scores should mean we get a few teams into the finals.

Good scoring today with a hard fought win by Paul, second place was Tony on 37 points.

Two players scored two birdies each, Paul and Martin Deery, Martin attributing his to the “magic” ball he found on thirteenth.

The average gross score today was 94.67 and the average Stableford score was 31.25.

Best gross of the day was from Jason Landau with 86.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 6 birdies today.

Paul Gardner with 2 on holes 6 and 9.
Martin Deery with 2 on holes 14 and 18.
Jock Hunter with 1 on hole 5.

Our winner today with 38 points was Paul Gardner.
In second place on 37 points was Tony Froud.

The back 9 went to Martin Deery with 19 points.

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,...

The weather today was calm and dry. Some tricky pin positions with the 14th being the worst. The fairways have not improved a whole lot but not too dissimilar to Burhill which a few of us played earlier in the week. I have added two new items to the website menu the first is a list of members we have had over the years since 2004, that's about as far has by emails go back. I have included short cut links here if you wish to see them. Let me know if I have missed anything. https://apearlybirds.blogspot.com/p/memberlist.html   The second is a list of past/future events https://apearlybirds.blogspot.com/p/notable-events.html Some comments after the game today about slow play so please don't take multiple practice swings and be ready to play when it is your turn. I myself (Paul) tried to take out my two playing partners once on the 6th with a wayward chip that narrowly missed Pete Laurance and then on the 7th to miss James after I tried hacking out of the woods. Sorry guys. Jock ha...

Today was the Earlybirds Christmas party, pleasant weather greeted the golfers with the Sun actually coming out to warm us up towards the end of the round. The question on everybody's lips was could Paul Gardner win for a third year in a row. Rumour has it he was allowed to win in previous years as nobody wanted to arrange the following year's party. This year Paul was drawn in the last group to make it harder for the other players to watch his score. Paul was drawn with Peter C and Luck Tony. Tony playing a very steady round until he somewhat collapsed on the last, probably worrying that he may win. He managed to grab second place on count back from Roger Gibbs, three player tied on 35 points. Paul tried his best but low scores on 8, 9, 10 and 11 put paid to his chances. Our winner today and with the pleasure of booking next year goes to Coenraad. A solid 35 points to beat Roger G and Tony on countback. Prizes awarded to day. First place Coenraad, winning £50 of vouchers for t...
