Hello Gentlemen,
Today 30 of us turned up, (29 of us paid our money), then embarked on our rounds of golf. Many of us (Including me ) got so wet we wished we were in Noah’s Ark!  When I returned to the clubhouse in a “drooket”  (hosed) condition after completing 2 holes, I was glad to hear that this event had been abandoned. Monies paid in will be held for use in next week’s “counter”, any remaining balance thereafter will go into the prize fund.
Kind regards,
Hugh

Hello Gentlemen,
Today 40 of us enjoyed fairly windy weather which was quite reasonable for the time of year. Our 3:2:1 event proved to be quite a challenge…..especially for those teams who did not properly complete their cards and submitted 1:2:3 cards (As the errors were easily corrected, they were allowed to re-read the rules and to correct them). Scoring was mixed, ranging from 22.3 to 28.5. Results|: In 1st place with 28.5 points - Team 11 – Comprising Russell Moss and Mike McDougall who will each be credited with £ 5.00. In 2nd place with 28.3 points - Team 4 – Comprising Alan Boyd, George Shearer and Jim Jackson who will each be credited with £  4.00. In 3rd place with 28.0 points - Team 5 – Comprising Jim Campbell and Chris Phillips who will each be credited with £ 3.00. In 4th equal place with 27.33 points - Teams 1 – Comprising Gordon Arbuthnott, Tom Bissett and George Hunter plus Team 12 - Comprising Jack McGeoch, Sandy Paterson and Andrew Henderson who will each be credited with £ 2.00. The sum of £7.00 including a donation of £1.00 will be added to the prize fund
Kind regards,
Hugh

Health and Safety / Speed of Play
Your organisers would be obliged if those walking from the 8th green to the 9th tee would use the path provided which takes you along the top of the dunes. By doing that, those playing the 8th can see where you are and can more safely play their shots to the green, plus they also won’t be held up by having to wait for you to clear of their possible target area. (You will also get a great view of the sea from the path)

Kind regards,
Hugh

 Hello Gentlemen,
39 of us enjoyed rather cool windy weather during yesterday’s 5 Club 9 Hole event. Scoring was not the highest you have ever seen, but when the number of clubs and weather are taken into account, they weren’t too bad. Results – Since these have been prepared by Bill, we agreed that to save a lot of duplicated work they can be seen on the website, so here they are!

In the attachment you will find yesterday's results, the end-of-season "Counter" winners and the winners of the Mancini Trophy. Congratulations to all of the winners, and best of luck to everyone for our next season.

There was no Seniors Competition on the 19th September on the occasion of the funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth 2nd.

Hello Gentlemen,
26/09/22 – 9 Hole event + Putting and Prize giving dinner thereafter.
Yesterday, I asked those who were golfing, and noted names of those who wished to attend this prestigious event. Would those of you who were unable to attend yesterday and who would like to take part in our end of session extravaganza please advise me, or an organiser, as soon as you can. Please also make your response clear as to whether you wish to (a) play and (b) eat. It is likely that apart from your normal £1.00 to the Organisers at Check In , you will be asked to pay £ 15.00 (which will cover soup and a choice from 3 main courses) at the bar. This also includes a gratuity of £ 2.00.
Kind regards, Hugh
