Lovely days equal lovely golf games. On Saturday the field played net with the following results: 1^st Julie Howard, 2^nd Kellie Orchard, 3^rd Maxine Cotter.
The Saturday field continue to play their matchplay challenge for the Jeanie Quaife Cup.

On Tuesday they played Stb: 1^st Cathy Berry, 2^nd Sue Dark, 3^rd Martina Keir.  6 pairs teed off early in order to play the 36 hole Nancy McCormick National event. Although great playing conditions the challenge and results have been filed and are now awaiting for the Saturday players to show what they can do. It is great to see both fields coming out and playing in the spirit of golf with our new members being made welcome.

Also a quick reminder to all the ladies to get their team entries in for the combined ladies’ 15 May, Autumn Tournament. This coming week promises also to be sunny so we may see more of us on the course, hopefully putting better!

We were joined today by 9 members of the Fairview Golf Club 9 Hole Group. They successfully mingled amongst our own players and contributed to a full contingent of 42 players.

The Informal Competition for the day was Bingo~Bango~Bongo, probably not the best choice given that it made for a long day. But a lot of fun all the same.

The format was Net and some very creditable scores were recorded given the slow greens still bedding down after the recent coring.

The Haggle prizes were awarded for the top four Bingo~Bango~Bongo scores on both Front and Back 9’s.

Front 9:
Brett Dixon                  11                   
Laurie Harris               10
Frank Lamborn           10
Tom Hansen               9

Back 9:
Vic Sterling                  11
Peter Hope                  10
Garry Penny               9
Gary Grammer           9

The top 4 Net scorers (not part of the Haggle) were:
Phil Stanbury              29
Ernest Taylor              32
Mike Holibar                33
Chris Lynch                 34

Raffle prizes were won by (Shane Myers, Lynton Holmes and Garry Grammar ( Fairview).

Congratulations to all the winners and a warm welcome to new member Shane Myers. 

Next Thursday is another informal match so get ready to play Hidden Holes. The format will be Stableford.
