Scores for Saturday 03 October 2026


Weather was fair today, no rain, no wind and pleasantly warm.

The course changes are looking great with the new bunkers, however the 10th, 11th and 13th greens have all suffered due to some maintenance issues. Some of the holes looked like a crazy golf course mixed with a building site with all the orange netting around them. Quite difficult to navigate you way around on some holes. Fortunately a number of drops zones have been made available. 

A small field today of 10 players with a few on holiday and James and Duncan playing in the Family Foursomes, Chris Pearce couldn't quite hide his delight in beating James and Duncan.

The main battle today came from group 3 with Paul, Martin Deery and Andy all fighting for the lead. Andy cheering Paul along as Andy would win the front 9 if Paul won overall.

Martin Lythgoe was a contender until he decided to change his split ball on the sixteenth and then put his brand new ProV1 out of bounds never to be found.

Paul, Martin Deery and Andy spent too much time looking at the others scores rather than their own game and all messed up the 18th, Andy going out of bounds twice, Martin in the water twice and Paul once again failing to exit a bunker on his first shot.

On a sadder note we are loosing another one of the Earlybirds, Roger Gibbs has decided to move to the Main men's swindle, he no longer wishes to tee off early every Saturday. I'm sure we all wish Roger all the best with his new Swindle, he will however join us for this year's Xmas Cup and next year's JJ Cup.

The average gross score today was 90.44 and the average Stableford score was 31.11 points.

Best gross of the day was from Steve Reynolds with 86.

There were 0 Eagles or better today.

There were 4 birdies today.

Paul Gardner with 1 on hole 2.
Andrew Simpkin with 1 on hole 5.
Jason Landau with 1 on hole 12.
Steve Reynolds with 1 on hole 10.

Our winner today with 35 points was Paul Gardner.
In second place on 33 points was Martin Deery.
The front 9 went to Andrew Simpkin with 19 points.
The back 9 went to Richard Hyne with 16 points.

Today was the last swindle game of the year so it brings a close to the competitions we run during the year. Player of the year Race to de Bar Gross Eclectic Stableford Eclectic Many people today said it was cold but not for Steve Reynolds, he was on fire with a very impressive 77 gross and 39 points beating second place Richard by 10 points. Probably some of the lowest Stableford scores of the year. Another year of golf comes to an end and it's time to announce the winners of both the Player of The Year and the Race to De Bar. Player of the year     The winner of Player of The Year is Richard Hyne well done Richard winning by four points from Jason and Jock. Race to de Bar The winner of Race to De Bar is Richard Hyne well done Richard winning £60 net. That is Richard's first win of either competition a rise from 10th and 15th places from last year. Gross Eclectic Won by James Miller with 59, four shots ahead of the next players and nobody scored an eagle this year. Stableford...

Weather was kind to us today with only a few spots of rain about half way around, course being quite soggy in places . On the course they have now opened all the new bunkers and cut down all the trees and bushes around the lake adjacent to the 10th green. It looks much better from the 18th tee and now you should be able to see if a sliced tee shot goes into the water or not. This is the first swindle game of the year with the first two being cancelled due to the course being closed with frozen greens. I am sure everybody is pleased to be back playing golf after the long lay off.  Excellent round by Steve Reynolds to take first place with twelve pars a gross of 79 and Stableford of 36 points, a great start to the year for Steve after a poor 2025. Dan also had a poor year in 2025 and a back 9 win today will hopefully mean a better year this year. In fact Dan also won the back 9 on his first game last year. Second place goes to Andy with a score of 34 points, Dan, Paul and Jason all b...

A cold start to the day with frost on the greens for the early starters, the sun came out later making it a great day for some great golf. The great golf came from Steve Reynolds today with a fabulous 37 points to win by 8 shots. This must be one of the largest winning margins we have ever had, well done Steve. A great start to the year moving Steve to the top of both the money and points lists. A fine second for Jason on 29 points tied with two others, Martin Deery and Coenraad, Jason taking it on count back. Many a missed putt by both Jason and Martin. Dan Smith taking the front nine despite injuring his back on the fourth hole,  he sounded like Monica Seles on almost every shot with various grunts and groans. Most of us struggled in the rough with mud on golf balls and on fairways riddled with worm casts, it looked in places like the worms were taking over the golf course.  One more swindle game next week followed by four weekends of club competitions. The average gross sco...
