The Captains’ Charity Fun Competition – Monday May 4
The annual Club three-person bowmaker team Stableford competition returns this year, promising plenty of excitement. A special yellow ball is included, when it’s in play on a hole, the points scored for that hole are doubled – Kevin Taylor
Entry into the competition is voluntary. The Dawn Patrol will still operate, depending on the number of players not entering the competition.
Dawn Patrol BBQ and Music – Saturday, 13th June 18:30
Alex Annal has put up the sign‑up sheet, with the cost set at just £15.
At the moment, numbers are looking worryingly low, and without enough interest the event simply won’t be able to go ahead.
If you’re planning to attend, please add your name as soon as you can.
Here are the Results for the Week
Monday 13th April
Individual 23 players £46 pot
Overall, Bob Damberg (37) £23 (-2). Two in a row Bob, be honest, did you get a new golf swing fitted at the same time as that knee replacement? You are also the first to cross the £30 winnings threshold and so a resultant -2

Great golf today, course was in fine form, and a big well done to the winners!
