Dawn Patrol Away Day at Orchardleigh – Wed 9th September 2026

Please be there by 9.30am for coffee and a bacon roll, followed by team photos. The first tee time is 10.34am.

There are 19 of us, so we have five 3-balls and one 4-ball.

Competition Formats

There will be two competitions:

  1. Individual Stableford
    Played off your DP Handicap, with prizes for:
    • Best Overall Score
    • Best Front Nine
    • Best Back Nine
  2. Team Competition – Bowmaker. Best 2 scores from 3, played off your DP Handicap.

For the 4-ball, we will alternate having one player drop out of the team score on each hole, so that only three scores count on each hole.

Cards

Please complete two cards for each team:

    • One showing your individual scores
    • One showing the team scores

There will also be a couple of Nearest the Pin prizes.

Buggies

I’ve booked two buggies:

Keith & Bob D
Arthur & Paul

Buggies are payable on the day.

A Few Reminders

Please be on time and, importantly, keep up with the group in front. It’s Stableford, so if you can’t score a point on a hole, pick up and move on.

After golf, there will be a one-course meal, as per last year.

Most of all, enjoy yourselves and let’s have a great day.

Dawn Patrol Music Event Saturday Evening 28th November 2026

Website Improvements

Handicap Search

This special interactive page, available from the Main Menu, provides a quick and reliable way to look up player handicaps.

Use it whenever you need to check your Dawn Patrol Playing Handicap or during the draw itself. As the draw progresses and cards are being written out, one person should have the Handicap Search page open on their phone. Simply tap the search box and begin typing a player’s first name, last name, or their Bingo Ball number (see Note 2 below).

Three results will appear for players:

  • Grey = current Handicap Index (see last IG  synchronised date above the Search box)
  • Yellow = DP Playing Handicap from the yellow tees
  • Blue = DP Playing Handicap from the white tees

Write the handicap on the card, backspace and type the next name.

Notes:

  1. The date above the Search box shows when the Handicap Indexes were last synchronised with IG.
  2. The number after your name is your colour-coded bingo ball number. You can search by this number or by name, for example 08, 14 or 88. For single-digit numbers, include a leading zero, such as 01, 05 or 08. You do not need to enter the colour letter.
  3. If your number is missing, please send it to me and I will add it to the database.

Improved Embedded Tables

Handicaps, Race to Devizes, Results and Eclectic are all now working and scrolling correctly. Please take a look at each of them.

I’m sure you have all accessed Handicaps and Race to Devizes in the past, but please take a specific look at Results. Here, you will find a record of the Individual and Team results.

The Eclectic section is new, but still under construction and will show the leaderboard once we get started in October.

The Winter Eclectic 2026

The Dawn Patrol Eclectic Competition will run from Monday 5th of October to Friday 11th of December. Kevin has posted the sign-up sheet on the Dawn Patrol Notice Board; please add your name and pay Alex, who will be collecting the £5 entry fee in cash. Payment is required before the 5th of October.

Here are the Results for the Week

Monday 31st August 2026

No Dawn Patrol today due to the Club Pro Shop Stableford

Wednesday 2nd September 2026

No Dawn Patrol today due to the Seniors 9 Hole Qualifier (Seniors Order of Merit)

Don’t forget winning a team event now means a loss of shot for all players and if there were a second place (20 and over players) they would lose 0.5 each. For 20 or more players, both first and second prizes will be awarded. (2/3 to first and 1/3 to second)

Friday 4th September 2026

A reasonable turnout of eleven players today participating for a kitty of £22

Overall, Alex Fogwill (35) £11. -2 shots Alex as you have crossed the £30 threshold

Front 9, Ian Dobson (17) £5.50

Back 9, Phil Smith (18) £5.50 -1 Phil now playing off Yel 27 and Wht 32

Well played all

Always check on the Dawn Patrol website for your accurate Dawn Patrol adjusted Playing handicap.

Lookahead through to the end of October
