Pro-Am
Well a fine weekend of golf took place at our course last week, with the course presented in superb condition firstly for Friday's Pro -Am. With the course playing as it did and the pins accessible the scoring reflected as you will see by the results section.
Well done to Paul Streeter for his Pro course record of 64, and our own Sophie Walker posting the ladies Pro record of 67, and after starting with a 7!!! Winning team was guided in by Andrew hare, and consisted of Remi and Paul Clyburn and Sean 'Beef' Melhuish whose better back 9 and 122 score pipped Jim Bennett, Mark Crome, Andy Wilkins and Phil 'the putt' Taylor. See the main board for all scores, and note I was not last, but my 80 could have been better if I can get my wedge and chipping play going!!! Next year maybe??
Thanks to all who played and helped, notably Julian on The PGA desk, Liz who sorted the halfway house out and Ray Crome who gets such great sponsorship and teams for the event. Note also the great job Pete Watts did in leading the greenstaff as Steve was away (not his fault we had to change the date due to Midland PGA!). The food side was so well done again by Janine and her staff, so my thanks to them also. Thanks Chris Warren, Bill Garton and John Bayliss who were the starters on the day, great job. One hiccup on the day was a Pro not turning up, and special thanks to Steve Brattan who acted as a Pro for one of Ray's sponsor teams. This averted a disaster as his guys had travelled from Liverpool!!!
The Les Stones Memorial Cup
Saturday saw The les Stones Memorial Cup and the shop was proud to have 'whistling' Les's picture at the check in desk. Well done to Darren Fuller whose fine gross 67, nett 67 saw him win and get back to plus one. Reidy said he missed loads of putts of under 6 foot too!!! Sunday then saw The captain's am am, and 40 three balls played in lovely conditions. See the results sheet below, and winners note your vouchers are presented on Captain's day if you could attend.
Senior Results
What a difference a week makes, Cleethorpes Seniors played their Monthly Stableford in overcast but warm conditions.
David Oxborough played the game of his life to take the 14s group prize with 20 points, losing 2 off his senior handicap.
