Well, what a turn out. 36 players in all, including guests.
We were welcomed at the Dorset course with bacon rolls and coffee and for the first time the society played 27 holes with the first 9 being a three club challenge. We were clearly going for a record again as, yes, it rained and not just the gentle spring rain, but a complete downpour! Although some members did give up and walked in (not being of sterner stuff) the majority of the field battled on. Rob Parry won the challenge with a very respectful 21 points - well played Rob.
We then went back into the clubhouse for a very welcoming bangers and mash lunch which was much needed after battling the elements. The good news was as we were having lunch the rain went, and the sun came out so apart from the odd shower a dry round of golf was had by all.
Unfortunately we were missing Mr Price as I am reliably informed he had to go on a course to learn how to tie up his shoelace and evidently had to go the following Friday to learn how to do the other one. We do hope he makes the next game and isn’t completely tied up in knots.
Julian, the proud dad of a baby girl, Flower, (I got the news the
day of writing this) won the GRS Trophy with a massive 40 points
playing off 8 with Mark Teed in 2nd on a count back over Roger Johns
both with 32 points.
We ran the 2’s comp on both matches, so big pot. There were
no winners in the morning so it was carried over to the afternoon and
there were three winners, Shaun Brady on the 4th Mike Speer on the 7th
and Paul Ebsworth on the 17th. .
On the Woodland 3 club challenge, guest Dave Wright won nearest the pin on the 22nd hole and Julian Flower on the 24th hole.
Julian, the howling mad, Flower won the longest drive with a
monster I am told, on the Lakeland course with Mike Speer winning
nearest the pin and Chris Sumner taking nearest pin in 2 on the 18th.
There was an overall prize for the highest Stableford score on 27
holes and that went to, you guessed it, Julian Flower
- well done Vice.
April takes us to Wheathill Golf Club near Castle Cary, Somerset, where we play the Whitbread Shield pairs comp.

Well what can I say, unfortunately my first outing as Captain in 2008
was marred by some of the strongest winds and occasional driving rain
that we have ever had to play in, bit of a shame as the course is one
of the best. I, as did others, found it difficult
to find
the island green on the 9th on the Needles course which was our
concluding hole, My Vice, Julian the Howling Flower, put three balls in
the water, so not an easy hole in the conditions.
Nearest the Pin in 2 on the 3rd hole of the Needles was won by Jim
Corbin and Longest Drive on the 9th hole of the Becton was won by no
other than Russell French.
