The captain would like to extend his thanks to everyone who supported and played on captains day, including our guests. Special thanks to Lee for running the BBQ and to Dave and Carley behind the bar. He would also like to thank all those that provided bottles and cash for his charity, Scotties little soldiers. As always he is very grateful for everyone’s help and support.

The competition was won by Mick Edmunds with a stunning round of 64 from the white tees playing off a handicap of 1, resulting in 43 stableford points !

In second place with 42 points was lee Porter, a great score that could easily win on another day, beating Martin Johnson in to third with another great score of 41 points, shooting a gross 75.
The prize for best past captain, with Mick’s backing went to Lee Porter.
The prize for best guest on the day went to Dave Barrington with 41 points, narrowly beating Kai Edmunds in to second on 40 points.

FIXTURES

This coming weekend, 23rd,24th,25th,26th August, is the monthly medal

As previously mentioned, due to requests from some members we have extended the medal, as a trial, into the bank holiday Monday as well. There are no club tee times on a Monday so if you wish to play then you need to make your own bookings. Also please be aware that Monday is Dave’s day off and unless there is a committee volunteer on hand there is no guarantee that the bar will be open.

Wednesday 28th August – Wanderers Midweek Away Day – Top Meadow

There are 32 players that have signed up and paid deposits for this day out. Bob Leek reports that all is in hand and he will contact all players with confirmation of tee times and order of play etc during this week. We will be playing for the Ian Nelson Trophy as well as various nearest the pin prizes. Any excess monies raised will be donated to Scotties little soldiers.

That’s all folks,
Enjoy your golf !
