Congratulations to Craig Evans on winning Saturday's Committee Cup.

A splendid round of 71 (gross 77) was enough to defeat Dave Morgan into 2nd spot with a net 72.

Tom Dent 3rd, Kev Beaumont 4th, Matt Roberts 5th and Liam Sweetman 6th all scored 74.

The two's pot was shared by Craig Evans x2, Brian Lockett, Liam Sweetman, Grahame Dent, and Kev Beaumont.

Well done to Gary Farmer on winning the Charity Shield with a splendid score of 39 points. Gary, start thinking about which Charity you would like to support.

In 2nd place was David Scaife with 38 points, 3rd position went to Luke Farmer (dad still has the bragging rights) with 37, and Matt Roberts was a commendable 4th with 36 points.

Capt Craig Evans scored the only 2 on the 13th to rake in the cash.

Jack Parkinson has the Stableford series already in his sights after a surely record breaking score, off the white tees, of 48 points!

Tom Dent continued his excellent recent form, and more order of merit points, with an excellent 39 points to be runner-up. Lee Wilson finished a very commendable 3rd with 37 points.

Matt Roberts, Brian Lockett and Ken Reeve took the two's spoils.

Don't forget to let Nick know if you wish to play in the first major of the season, the Committee Cup, to be played on 4th July. The draw will take place after this weekend.

Congratulations to Tom Dent on winning the June Monthly Medal.

With the Course playing all of it's 6,500 yards due to the recent rain, Tom's winning score of 68 was a particularly good one.

Pete Ryan in 2nd and Phil Low in 3rd spot, also broke 70. Well done Phil on shooting the lowest gross of the day.

Pete is raking the prizes in with scoring a 2 at the 13th. Dave Morgan was the only other player with a 2, scored at the same hole.

40 points was the winning score beating Andy Carlton on count-back, with Dave Morgan 3rd with 38 points.

Congratulations to Richard on winning the Club Championship with tremendous gross scores of 80 and 81

Darren Moffatt was runner up, with Ken Bray and Charlie Wells finishing 3rd and 4th respectively.

His winning score of 69 in a howling wind was a dazzling 8 shots clear of the rest of the field.

As you know, the Captain’s Drive-In takes place this Saturday, 6th April.

At the recent AGM, it was agreed by all that Dave Morgan should continue his captaincy for one more year with Kevin Beaumont taking over in 2020 instead of 2019.  

Unfortunately due to family circumstances Dave finds himself unable to commit to playing much golf in the foreseeable future as he is likely to be looking after children/grandchildren most weekends. As a result he will not be rejoining as a member for the time being. He does hope to rejoin at some point during the season. Dave is extremely disappointed about this and sends his apologies to all of you.

This does, of course, mean that we are currently without a captain. At our Committee meeting last night our Vice-Captain Kevin Beaumont confirmed that he is content to take over the role, and this met with the approval of the Committee.

This does contradict the decision at the recent AGM, although it confirms the decision at the 2018 AGM when Kev took over as Vice-Captain.  The Committee are confident that the members will be happy with this decision, but if any of you disagree with that please contact me to let me know.  If it appeared that members were not happy with this decision then we would need to quickly arrange an Extraordinary General Meeting to discuss further.  Given how close we are to Captain's Drive-In it is likely that it would have to take place early on the same day, before the Drive-In takes place.

However, if I do not hear from anyone then please be on the 10th tee at 08:45 on Saturday to watch Kev smack one down the middle/hook one out of bounds [delete as appropriate!].
