Monday 25th July...

25/7/2022

Well, carts were back on for two days last week; I guess that's better than none. Hopefully this week the course will get a chance to recover and dry out somewhat.
As I mentioned last week it will be a day-to-day proposition with carts so keep upto date on the website course status and the MiClub fixtures booking page.

Recent Results...

Wednesday 4BBB Stableford
Thirty eight competitors braved the heavy conditions with some good scores. David Scholes and Eugene O'Sullivan won with 43 points from John Jones and Norris Dudgeon with 42 points. The individual winner was John Mulholland with 39 points. Phil Jeffery was NTP on the 11th hole and John El-Chan won the 14th hole Pro-Pin.

Saturday Single Stableford
A total of 31 players in the competitions was good to see. Ash Southon won the men's competition wth 41 points from Kevin Barry with 38 points. Kevin won the Pro-Pin as well. Peter Metcalf was NTP on the 11th.

Sunday Medley Stableford
A smaller field and lower scoring. Nick Reinhard won with 33 points on a count back.

Upcoming events...

As I am re-scheduling the trophy events and monthly medals due to the heavy course conditions I have extended the time for closing the draw for the J W Draper handicap foursomes trophy. Add your team to the sheet in the Pro Shop (see image to the left!!)

We will review the course condition early next week and hopefully we can start updating the MiClub bookings sheets with the back log...

Enjoy your week and let's hope for some drying weather...

Dave Burgess

Course open... carts available Tuesday (19th)

18/7/2022

The course has dried out sufficiently to allow carts back on tomorrow.
Please ensure you follow the path map and signs on the course.
With the rain forecast for this week the situation may change on a daily basis.
Check the website and MiClub booking sheet for details.

The temporary cart paths survived the recent rains quite well, the only area which needed repair was a section over the bridge on the first hole.
