Christmas Mixed Betterball Results

The last mixed competition of 2014 took place on Sunday 14th December 2014. As this is a drawn pairs competition it is always good fun. Add ¾ handicaps to the mix and you have a recipe for a great golf competition. There was a lot of mulled wine, Brandy and mince pies about and we even had Mrs Skelton’s home-made sausage rolls- delicious!!!!!! We had 40 people playing and that is an excellent turn out, we had 4 nearest the pins, 3rd and 18th for the men and 7th and 16th for ladies and a Christmas jumper competition.

The competition was won by Lee Venus and Sue Stickland with a massive 41 points. 2nd was Steve Deacon and Lydia Doherty with 37 points and funnily enough they were playing in the same 4 ball.

Then the nearest the pins were won by Rob Twining 3rd , Steve McIntosh 18th, Debbie Conder 7th and Caroline Harrison 16th. These were kindly sponsored by Kevin McLean and Matt Melish, Lee and Georgina Venus and Colin and Lisa Kiddie, a BIG thank you to them.

Then the judging for the best Christmas jumper – this was done in the very fair clapometer. Bob Appleby won for the men and Gina Wilson for the ladies. Their jumpers were great and even had lights.

I just want to say a massive thank you for everyone's support this year and a special thanks to Julie for all her help. Keep an eye on the notice board for all the mixed matches in 2015.


Happy Christmas and New Year to all.

Lady Captains Report November 2014.

Well this will be somewhat shorter than normal as things have finally died down and I’ve nearly come to the end of my Captains reign. October being one of the quieter months of the year. The monthly Medals and Stablefords continue and the finals of the Summer match plays take place. The winter Eclectic kicks off and the race to get the six cards in hots up. Come on Ladies you still have time to become eligible to play in the trophy comps next year.

One of the main events in October is the second of our two extremely popular quiz nights. Hosted so expertly, as always by Jeanette and Bernie.  My huge thanks once again to both of them for so generously giving up there time to entertain us all.

Two mixed comps have taken place simultaneously and the weather conditions proved to be extreme. Bright Sunshine, shorts and T-shirts one week to Yesterdays downpour waterproof’s and brollies. More about that in Gills mixed report. I would like to say a BIG thanks to everyone that has supported the mixed comps this year and the numbers speak for themselves. Please show your support for the Christmas mixed team event. The sign on sheet is up and as its drawn you don’t need to worry about finding a partner.  

One milestone reached this month  was your Lady Captains 50^th Birthday and thanks to many ladies in the section we partied. How can one birthday last two weeks!! Well it did and I’ve just about recovered now. I would like to say a HUGE thanks to everyone. I was overwhelmed by your generosity and I have to say rendered speechless on a couple of occasions. Your most appreciated shop voucher has already been spent and the new waterproof trousers have already  had their first airing and I’m happy to report did the trick. Thank You.

As this will be my final monthly report I’d just like to remind everyone about the AGM on the 30^th November. The minutes will be E-Mailed out very shortly and please can I ask that you send your apologies in to any member of the committee. It would be great to see as many members present as possible and we hope to be able to get out and play a few holes of golf afterwards.

My final address will be at the AGM. Where I will be thanking people in abundance and announcing the final figure raised for my charity. .

Good Luck with your golf in November and let’s hope for fine weather.

Best Wishes Jane.

Lady Captain 2014.

3^rd John Appleby and Jane Woodward 39 points

Special well done to John for filling in at the last minute.
