Scores for Saturday 11 April 2026




The weather brought us winds, rain and plunging temperatures, unlike the middle of the week were we saw temperatures of 26degC on Wednesday.

The course was looked splendid after the Clutch Tour visited during the week with a lot of run on the fairways and fast greens.

The scoring this week was not as good for the winner as last week with Dan's mammoth score. This week we had a tie for first with Duncan and Steve B on 35 points. Duncan scored 20 points on the front nine, none of his playing partners noticed and felt there was an invisible golfer in their midst. Steve B had a solid round and Duncan must rue his two blobs on 16 and 17. 

Duncan on the 12th took a 5 iron off of the tee and his ball vaulted over the hedge like a runner in the Grand National.

More drama and Duncan hit a massive slice on 15 nearly going out of bounds on the 16th, he hit a great recovery to make his par.

Next week is the JJ Cup at the Nottinghamshire Golf Club, also our first major of the year, so good luck to all those taking part, let's hope the weather and golf are good.

The average gross score today was 94.67 and the average Stableford score was 29.42.

Best gross of the day was from James Miller with 85.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 3 birdies today.

Duncan Miller with 1 on hole 4.
Jock Hunter with 1 on hole 12.
Steve Reynolds with 1 on hole 12.

Our winner today with 35 points was Stephen Brewerton.
In second place on 35 points was Duncan Miller.
The front 9 went to Roger Gibbs with 17 points.
The back 9 went to James Miller with 18 points.

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...

Despite a poor forecast for the Saturday golf it actually turned out fairly good a bit of rain affecting the last three of our groups at the end of their rounds. I new feature on the 18th fairway is new weather station mounted on a tripod. Sited there so they can see when it gets stolen. It all looks very technical. Despite rumours, it is not capable of automatically closing the course at the first sign of rain. More work on the course cutting the high hedge on the 12th fairway, it looks much better. Some good scores this week and some not so good. It was a winter league match so those with a 34 or above did well, especially Andy who scored a magnificent 39 points. Well done Andy with a fine win, so good that Steve wrote a song about. Andy The Hero Close run for second place with Paul, Roger G and Martin all scoring 34 points. Martin clinching it on the last with Paul hoping Martin would get a six and not a five. Roger played a very steady game today and Paul missed a load of putts....
