Please see the results from this year’s friendly matches. Well Done to Captain Tom, and Vice Captain Dave and all the players this year. As many won as were lost, with a couple of draws. A good outcome from a competitive but at the end of the day, a friendly series of matches.

Senior’s AGM 2017 report

Please accept my apologies for not being able to attend this year’s AGM, there is not much to report other than we will not be renewing our matches with Worlebury for 2018 however we have received very favourable comments from both Cumberwell Park and Gloucester which were 2 new additions for 2017, I will continue to look for other new openings over the coming year.
We will only play 28 matches in 2018 which is the lowest number for many a year however this is not a bad thing as we have many other commitments within the seniors section, if you haven’t played senior team matches in the past please consider enlisting for 2018, it’s a fun day with friendly golf and a two course meal after the match and of course you get to play on other courses for a fraction of the normal green fees with a meal thrown in as well, please support our incoming Captain and put your name down on the noticeboard which appears over January.

Senior Matches v Other Clubs 2017

CLICK ON IMAGES ABOVE TO ENLARGE The format for the matches is 2 ball better ball i.e. two members of Stockwood play two members of the opposing team. The lowest stroke score wins the hole. Team member handicaps are calculated off the member(s) with the lowest handicap – nine tenths of the difference eg. lowest handicap in group is 10, someone with a 20 handicap will receive 9 shots and have one extra shot on holes stroke index one to nine.  The cost of the day is normally around £13 and includes the round of golf and a two course meal . As a trial we have stopped collecting the £3/match/player towards supplying wine on the table for home matches, instead a “Senior Match Day Wine”, which will cost £10 (£9 on your club card) will be made available on the day. If required, Ryan has kindly agreed to set up bar tabs for each of the fourballs at home matches. This tab can be settled by one of the members using their card (again 10% discount) and the cost then split evenly between the pairing. It is normal for the home players to buy the drinks for their opponents after the match and for all individuals to donate a £1 as a tip for the catering staff.  Cumberwell Golf Club new fixture for 2017
