Scores for Saturday 28 March 2026



First Swindle game for a month, the course is looking much better, the fairways have been cut and the greens are much faster. The latter causing many a missed putt.

The weather was cold and windy, no doubt, adding to our problems, James had problems resitting his ball on the 14th as the wind kept blowing it away.

James had a great run from the 9th to the 12th with three birdies and one par on his way to a narrow win from Richard beating him by one point.

All the ropes are now gone, Duncan was pleased, and I am sure we are all looking forward to moving onto the white tees soon.

Good to see Peter Laurence back after his op and manging to get two birdies today so it clearly hasn't affected his game.

The first Major of the season, the John James Cup, is coming up in a few weeks time I am sure we are all looking forward to that.

The average gross score today was 93.50 and the average Stableford score was 27.64.

Best gross of the day was from James Miller with 80.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 6 birdies today.

James Miller with 3 on holes 9, 10 and 12.
Pete Laurence with 2 on holes 9 and 11.
Roger Gibbs with 1 on hole 17.

Our winner today with 34 points was James Miller.
In second place on 33 points was Richard Hyne.
The front 9 went to Peter Williams with 17 points.
The back 9 went to Duncan 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...

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....

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...
