Mid-Week Trophy RESULTS

The weather curse struck again... so although the first two groups did complete 18 holes before the weather properly took hold, not everyone was so lucky. As a consequence, the competition has been decided on the 12 holes that the whole field did complete. Naturally this means that we cannot enter it onto the IG system, so below is the complete competition result:

1st - S Payne: 25 c/b

2nd - C Eldridge 25 c/b (last 3 holes)
3rd - S Pitt 25

D Tennant 24
C Martin 24
J Harris 22
S Stickland 21
R Jones 20
J Johnson 19
A Smart 19
L Shott 19
J Alback18
A Jenner 18
J Woodward 18
J Aldridge 17
J Parkhurst 16

Congratulations to the winners, and to all of you for getting through 12 holes!

Thank you all again and how nice was it to see Mr Roberts? not just back in the clubhouse, but in the winners circle too!

Competition format:

Foursomes Matchplay: One player tees off on odds/one on evens then play alternate shots. Each couple is given a flag numbered to match the number on their scorecard. Flags are to be placed at the spot where the last shot lands after all par shots plus handicap allowance has been used. Eg. Par for course is 72; half combined for example of 18, means total shots allowed is 90. Therefore the flag is placed where 90^th shot stopped. Winner is whoever gets their flag the furthest.

Lady Captain's Report - May 18

Lady Captain – May 2018

The Spring Meeting went without a hitch in spite of a few tee time and group changes (another theme developing this year), though the weather could have been a bit more spring like. Thanks to John Harrison for seeing us all off the first and for bringing a generous selection of bottles for the raffle.

Thanks to the following sponsors: Rena Jones, Gill Newson (Daffodil NP) and Kim Wellman (Spring NPs).

I gave everyone a tube of Smarties, which, once the contents have been consumed, can be used for collecting for the charity. I checked, and £1 coins do fit!! Please bring back at the Autumn Meeting or give to Sally before then if you fill it up and I’m happy to re-supply a new tube if people want to start again!

Thanks if you brought balls and bottles for the raffle and to everyone for buying tickets. Also thanks for those of you who bought a My Shining Star bag or cute elephant (looking forward to seeing their escapades over the summer). We raised £217.

Finally, thanks to Diana for the beautiful flowers for the tables and changing room and the paper towels/hand cleanser.

Monday 7 saw a beautiful day for the big mixed away day at Pedham Place, a new course for quite a few people. Cracking food I thought and some equally cracking golf.

It was lovely to welcome some new faces and I hopefully they will come back again. Shirley is worth a mention; realizing she was playing well, she putted out, keeping her score and put in an excellent round of net 69, and a supplementary card as a consequence.

Finally, my thanks to Lydia for organising Pedham for us, much appreciated.

Prizes on offer were the usual as well as the chance to buy some wild flower seeds for charity flower patches at West Malling. I’m in discussion with Greg over the final locations.

1st place: Kim & Paul - 46 points. 2nd place: Carol & Eric H - 44 points. 3rd place: Shirley & Gerry - 43 points

In total we raised £258 for the charity.

Quite a few new ladies have joined over the last couple of months, thank you Sadie for sending out joiner packs to them. I’ve had a couple of conversations with Cheryl and she is looking forward to playing on Tuesdays and Thursday with the later ladies. I plan to arrange a Meet & Greet , maybe June 10^th.

Quiz Night: just to confirm the new date is Friday 6 July. £40 per team of 6, to include sausage & chips.

The Mixed Texas Scramble is a few teams light, so if anyone hasn’t signed up, please do, the board is opposite the pro shop and pay at the office, £25 per team of 4; single sex, mixed sex, whatever sex takes your fancy!

That’s all folks!
