Bob Cook resigns from the Senior Committee
Bob has resigned from the committee, for personal reasons he was no longer able to devote the time to meetings etc. and felt it best to resign in fairness to his fellow committee members. I would like to thank Bob on behalf of the membership for the contributions he has made especially over the two years he acted as both the Vice Captain and Captain of the Senior section. On a personal note I would like to thank Bob for the support he gave me over the last year and a half as the Vice Captain and now Captain and can now appreciate how hard you have to work at times in trying to ensure the smooth running of all the matches and competitions throughout the year. Thanks Bob

28/29 June 2017
This year’s Senior championship was a well contested event with over 60 competitors.
Unfortunately the first day was marred by persistent rain but at least the wind had died down. The cut was made at 90 and for the second day the weather was far more favourable. The course was in immaculate condition throughout thanks to Steve Frankcomb and his team. After the first day it was long standing member and ex club captain Steve Ogden with a great score of 79 followed closely by another ex-captain John Gray with 81. Martin Walters, Brian Clutterbuck and Pete Mumford were only a couple of shots behind and ready to pounce. The cut after the first day was set at 90 leaving the top 16 to fight it out. Steve Ogden could not repeat his efforts of the first day and hit an 86. John Gray on the other hand improved his previous day’s score by one shot and won the championship by 4 shots. A special mention to Alan Gregg who won the best net score of 140 for the two rounds. |

Derek Bryant playing against an old football team mate and Mike Newell reliving life in the civil service nearly 30 years ago with an ex colleague. Dave Christopher was making a final guest appearance for the team, also playing against an old acquaintance – 7 June 2016
