Scores for Saturday 25 July 2026



Another hot day on the golf course as the drought continues. Fairways are dry, brown with cracks,  greens are still green fortunately.

Some very good scoring this week with Martin and Steve tying for first, Steve winning on countback for a change.

Eight birdies which must be a record also each birdie was made on a different hole.

Stories from the course

From Roger Gibbs

"I know it’s not swindle
But Jason and I saw the greatest ever birdie on 18. The lead guitarist from ZZ Top was about 130 yards out. His shot flew the out of bounds posts and smashed into the buggy of the group in front in the car park. It bounced back, went through the rough, rolled onto the green, just missing the pin and leaving a 2 foot birdie putt. He nonchalantly holed it as if nothing had happened!!!!"

The average gross score today was 94.00 and the average Stableford score was 31.50.

Glorious weather greeted us today and the last group was Jason Landau, James Miller, Peter Creighton and Peter Williams who would be our winner? An early start of 9:30am would mean we finish at a reasonable hour and we would not catch any traffic on the way home. The course was much quieter than yesterday and we managed to get around in just over four hours. Duncan did not even attempt to play golf today but became the roving photographer giving us a good shot of Martin Deery getting the nearest the pin on 17. Nearest the pin on the 17th by Martin Deery, courtesy of roving report Duncan. Duncan also managed to catch my long bunker shot to the green on the 5th and I managed to make the birdie. Well done me.    Anyway back to the game, Roger Small had an abysmal start managing only 4 points on the front nine, he almost doubled his score on the par 3 12th with a four point par, another four point par on the 14th to help his score a little bit. On the 16th Roger was concerned he m...

Weather today was good no rain, no wind, course lookin excellent, another week or so and the new bunkers should be in play. Two injured or unwell players didn't make it so get well soon to John and Stevie B. The fairway definition is much better however between the fairway and the thick rough the edges have been cut with two opposingly cut 1metre wide strips. These make the actual fairways very narrow in places, players are also not sure if these strips are still fairway, I believe not but we could do with some clarification from the club as we currently have pick and place in action, does that include these strips? A good day for birdies with 10 in total, hole 14 in its new configuration, giving away seven pars from the 14 players. Martin L putted in from off the green in the dip on hole 2 for a great birdie. Peter C and Paul making birdies on the 17th, Peter C's was further than Paul's. Although Tony managed to win on Monday by parking in the low handicap parking slot it ...

The weather was not kind to us today and we had a number of dropouts. It rained for most of our round, which no doubt affected our scores. Today we were joined by Brian, it was good to see Brian and Emma again, we hope Brian enjoyed his golf and the changes to the course. Excellent round by James today with a gross 79, 34 points and four birdies. Richard has now moved to the top of the Player Of The Year table on 26 points but it's still all to play for with two weekends to play with eleven players able to win, although some of those will need two wins. Richard also leads the money list. On the course we now have a robot cutting the fairway on the 8th. Appeared to be doing a good job. Being much lighter than a tractor, it should damage the fairway less. Cutting nice straight lines In action Reports from the course James "Peter was very happy when he out drove me on the 4th. He even took a picture of it which he might be able to send you. But to be fair to him he did say in was...
