Scores for Saturday 23 August 2025




Yet again the weather was kind to the golfers today, hot and dry but the course is suffering.

Great win for Jason with a commendable 38 points and a good 2nd place for Jock on 36 points. Unfortunately Jock's Summer league playing partners were not playing but it did not matter, more of which later.

Reports from the players on the course.

From Roger Gibbs

"Ok on 5th hole, I’d driven into the rough just short of the bunkers. Mr Hyne, having played golf with me for 9 years, jeopardised his life by walking 40 yards in front of me off to the left. Of course, I didn’t connect properly and the ball arrived towards him bouncing a couple of times on the way. A body swerve and a dive to the right with his bag on his shoulder evaded the potential life threatening golf ball. Like all true pros, he dusted himself off, found the front of the green in 3 facing a 80 foot putt across the green to a white flag, and holed it for a memorable birdie"

From Steve Brewerton

"As Martins doubles partner next week, from the group behind him, I witnessed his take his second shot from the yellow tee on 5, lose a ball on 10 and 11, searching in the hedge on 13, shout for right on 14 and go out of bounds on 16.  All very encouraging!  He took it all with a smile!"



Two teams managed to qualify for the Summer League Final, Martin and the Chipmunks and Formerly the Marlboro Men, well done to both teams.



As you can see I have made good use of ChatGPT this week!

The average gross score today was 91.45 and the average Stableford score was a very respectable 32.09.

There were 1 birdies today.

Richard Hyne with 1 on hole 5.

Our winner today with 38 points was Jason Landau.
In second place on 36 points was Jock Hunter.
The front 9 went to Roger Gibbs with 20 points.
The back 9 went to Steve Reynolds with 17 points.

    Great use of Chat GPT for the images Paul. How long before it helps with the writing I wonder :-)

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...

Good weather greeted us on Saturday and the course is starting to look better. Fairways are starting to grow back after a week of on and off rain. Greens more receptive and greens a little slower. New bunkers are looking great, excellent work by the Neary's and by the greenkeeping staff. Filled in bunkers are much better than the grassed depressions we have been accustomed to in the past. I (Paul) especially like the changes to the 14th, also the 3rd is looking great. 17th has a lot of work going on around the green with large areas of G.U.R.  Well done to Paul for his win today he sunk some good putts. Of note group 3 had all four players on 34 points coming to the last. Stories from the course John James to Steve Reynolds "You have a very Christian swing" , we think he meant crisp. Jason "Richard’s chipping was on another level, holing one on 4, he then proceeded to lip out on 3 other occasions, he was dialed in! I am a big fan of learning more about this game we l...

The weather was kind to us today, no wind and the expected rain failed to materialise.  This was our first weekend of the year off of the white tees, the scoring shows that it did not affect our scores with five people scoring 20 or more points on the front nine and four of 19 on the back nine. The winner today with a fantastic 40 points was Martin Deery with three zero point scores and a run of four pars from hole nine onwards. Well done Martin. Reports of many shots that hit the flag, I myself (Paul) had one on the 2nd and Steve B a great one on the 15th, Steve hit a poor tee shot onto the 16th fairway and then hit the trees with his second, the ball coming to rest behind the bunkers on the green side of the 16th, Steve then hit a great wood which bounded onto the green and hit the flag the ball coming to rest about 10 feet away from the pin. Unfortunately he failed to sink the putt for a four, one of many missed putts for Steve today. Excellent front nine team score for Group 4 ...
