Seniors to Ladies 2012

A great start to the week as seven four ball teams consisting of two ladies and two Seniors took part in this fun event on Monday 16th April.

Played as a Quad am, over 13 holes, with the best lady and best Senior to score on each hole, the match was closely fought  in sunny, if rather cool conditions. Everyone enjoyed the golf and finished off with sandwiches and chips in the clubhouse.

Winners, with a superb score of 65 points, were the team of Lady Captain, Grace Watts, Mr Vice Captain and Rod Taylor.

Second place with another excellent score well above par was the team of Judith Johnson, Avis Proctor, Mike Howard and Don Cooper

March 2012 - Ladies Annual Dinner

by Marie-Anne McGibbon

It is hard to believe that it is that time of year again! Yet another winter has flown by, and thankfully this year without too much bad weather.

With an excellent turnout of 40 ladies, Lady Captain welcomed us all with a Bucks Fizz, and words of praise for the wonderful table presentation by John and Liz and their staff.

Seniors Friendly Match against Disley GC Away

 
We had a complete reversal of fortunes in the weather, after the warmth experienced in the previous match.  We played through heavy bouts of Hail & Rain, a rumble of thunder and a very occasional glimpse of the sun.  Neverthess some excellent golf was played and enjoyed by all concerned and the team managed a win , having won 4 games, losing 3 and halving 1.
So despite our soaking we thank our hosts who were excellent company, as always.  It could take a long time to dry out all the clothing and equipment though.
Congratulations to the winning pairs who were:
Arthur Oliver/Phil Smallman,  Trev Jones/Mike Howard,  Dave Holt/Mike Richardson. Harry Howe/Tony Jones - with Steve Price/Peter Christian gaining a half.
