Merlin result – 20 September

Our 16 strong ladies team battled against the Merlins golf society team on Sunday 20^thSeptember.

Unfortunately, we were not victorious on this occasion but good fun was had by all.  It was a 6/2 defeat.  Well done to our winning ladies and commiserations to our losers.

Our opposition knew their team but had issues with timing and running order so it was a little chaotic before we teed off. Luckily our ladies arrived on time and were ready for their matches. 

Thanks go to my playing partner Caroline who got me a bacon roll ‘to go’ whilst I sorted out what was happening with the Merlins.  

This was a popular event and a rematch was talked about after the match.  So a bit of good news… as we lost we get to set the format of next year’s fixture. There will also be a trophy as Andy the current Merlins Captain has said he will donate. Lisa I am sure will organise Malcolm next year. 

We forgot to take any pictures on the day but I managed to get a photo of the victorious captain to add a bit of colour to this match report. 

Course changes for Medals and Stablefords

Ladies

In the last month we have had two changes of the nominated course for medals and stablefords.

I know with Tee booking this can be frustrating but the management team have had to change the course due to a number of factors and these were last minute and non-intentional.

The office have accommodated the changes on both occasions. I apologise if some have been caught out by these changes but they were unavoidable.  We try to communicate if possible but I realise that one change was missed - I apologise for this. 

A last push for qualifying cards is underway and I know a number of you have checked with Jane to see how many cards are outstanding. There are 10 weeks of qualifying comps set up  - 20  opportunities to complete your 6 cards between now and the end of the year so hopefully there will be no changes and everyone is able to play and get cards competed.    

Happy golfing.
