Mixed Betterball Results Oct 21st

26 couples took part in the mixed competition on Sunday 21st October. The early starters definitely had the best of the weather whereas the last players out had to put up with the miserable rain. Despite this it was a great turnout and a good day was had by all. The results were as follows:

1st Lynne and Pete Skelton 43 pts
2nd Rena Jones  & Lew Evans 39 pts
3rd Lisa Kiddie & Steve Wright 37 pts

Front 9 - Caroline & John Harrison 19 pts (on c/b with 6 couples!)
Back 9 - Kim Wollen & Kevin Swaisland 20pts

We were also very lucky to have Lawrence Dallaglio with us courtesy of the Skeltons- well Ok it was only a life size cardboard cut out of him but he still looked great!

Well done to all the winners and I look forward to seeing you all at the next mixed on November 4th

Charity Challenge - Saturday 20th October 2012

Today we had our Charity Challenge Match..this was a match between the Club Captain, Chris Wallace and his Vice Captain, Goff Norrington vs myself (Lady Captain) and Debbie Conder (Lady Vice Captain)...

It was a great battle...The handicaps were well balanced resulting in Debbie, Goff and I all getting 2 shots....Following a lot of ridicule on the 1st Tee from the "Merlins" poor Chris didn't get off to a good start down the 1st hole, but came back fighting. Debbie and I went 2 down after 3 holes and were still 2 down after 7 holes....
 We battled back to "All Square" by the time we were standing on the 13th Tee....We won the 14th hole and were doing well until we got to the 15th green...Goff sank a monster sized putt for a 3 and we were then back level on the 16th tee....the 16th was not a good hole for us..we both hit the tree and walked off the green 1 down....after a tense battle we managed to halve the 17th with a par and then stood on the 18th tee needing to win the hole to square the match...and that's what we did..a 3 was good enough..thank goodness...the stress and concentration was unbelievable!
What a great match..and the end result was that we raised a fantastic £135 for each of the two charities and Graham West and Keith Root were the winners of "Guess the Score".

Caroline, Lady Captain.

QUIZ NIGHT

We held the second Quiz night of the year this Friday night, 19th October.
it was another great night..90 people took part and we all had fun.
We raised £440 for my charity, Teenage Cancer Trust, and as usual Jeanette and Bernie did a Great job of running the evening...thank you so much to them and to all of you who supported the evening.

Caroline, Lady Captain.

Men vs Ladies - Sunday 14th October 2012

What a great day..24 Men and 24 Ladies turned up to play in this re match....
The result was 7 games to 5 to the Men - good effort ladies. The ladies lost the last match on the 18th hole otherwise it would have been 6 games each!
Thank you to Joe Harris for organising his team again and for fining everyone in aid of my charity..
we raised £642 - absolutely fantastic.

Caroline, Lady Captain.

Copper Beech Result

It was great to see so many ladies playing in the last competition of the season. I hope most of you enjoyed trying to beat the course, as usual it was tough competition.

1st Julie Harris       3 Up
2nd Kim Wellman  1 Up
3rd Toni Twort       1 Up o/c/b

There were 3 players all 1 up and unfortunately Yvonne Gormley missed out on count back.

Mixed Team Results

14 teams took part on the Spitfire course. The competition had a new format this year with drawn teams of 2 men and 2 ladies with 2 scores counting holes 1-6, 3 on holes 7-12 and all 4 scores on holes 13-18. We received very positive feedback with many members enjoying playing with people they hadn't played with before. We also had quite a few people playing for the first time and it was great to see the competition so well supported with a really good atmosphere in the club house afterwards.

The prizes on the day were awarded as:

1st Jane Watkins, Sue Stickland, John Suttling and Richard Hart 117 pts

2nd Caroline Harrison, Debbie Conder, Roger Woodhams and John Williams 115

3rd Pat West, Gill Newson, Tony Hall and Terry Fogarty (113 pts on c/b)

Unfortunately after the presentation of the prizes, the cards were rechecked and although all individual hole's stableford points and total front and back 9 scores had been correctly recorded and checked, I had not spotted an error on one of the cards in the adding up of the front and back 9 scores. This meant that the team in 3rd place with 113 pts had in fact got a magnificent winning score of 118 points. My apologies to Pat, Gill, Tony and Terry for this oversight and I thank them for their patience whilst the situation was rectified. They have now been compensated so that their prizes reflect their winning score with all other prizes remaining unchanged. Congratulations to all the winners and a big thank you to everyone who took part.

As an added incentive during the competition we also had a nearest the pin challenge on the 18th which was won by Laurie Beech with a fabulous hole in one! Well done to Laurie who had an expensive day at the bar as a result! This also raised £28 for Carolines charity - The Teenage Cancer Trust

The next mixed takes place on Sunday 21st October and is a Mixed Betterball. The sign up sheet is already up in the corridor so please put your names down if you are interested. We've been so lucky with the weather this year - lets hope we manage to complete the last 2 mixed competitions without any rain!
