Hello golfers,

Welcome to another edition of our newsletter, this week we have winter arrivals for you, new clubs from Titleist, a success story from our scratch team, and the completion plan for the winter. Enjoy the read!

Welcome back

Well it’s good to be back after a fine two weeks away from the job! I have had a varied array whilst off, firstly doing part of the coast to coast walk and based at Whitby. I followed this with several walking days locally and finally ended my time off visiting the daughter, son in law and lively three grandkids in Belfast.

Lincolnshire County Scratch League champions – Dave Reid report

This is our fifth win in eight years, justanother fantastic year with great support from the members of Cleethorpes golf club. It was a really closely run final against Sleaford at Waltham. About an hour from the end of play it looked irretrievable but the team pulled together and put in some great finishes. The guys that were down fought to keep their losses to a minimum and that in the end paid dividends, the final result running out at 3-3 and it went down to holes won within the individual games and fortunately we won by one hole which couldn't have been much closer.

It felt like justice and sweet revenge after losing out to Sleaford at Thorney Lakes last year. I'm so proud of the team that we have at Cleethorpes and for the support that you guys give to the club and the team. 12 players won the game but the team is more than just the 12 players that won the league, there have been some fantastic results from all those that have contributed. None more so that at the North Lincs league final held at Louth against Carholme, played on a bank holiday weekend when a lot of the regular team were not available, one pairing that springs to mind was Max and Louie who had a great result on the day that helped us through to the league final, Dings return to the team and contribution was nothing but impressive.

I would personally like to thank you all for your support no matter how small a part you played in contributing to Cleethorpes winning the league, again it is appreciated in every way.

Sport update

Golf away from our club saw a brilliant 61 from Paul Dunne on the last day of The British Masters which knocked a resurgent Rory into second spot, whilst America won The President’s Cup over The rest of the world for a seventh successive time.

Football wise Grimsby saw a stalemate against their local rivals Lincoln, whilst Man City had a great win at Chelsea to top the table. Mind you, Man United are scoring freely and are level on points. My Baggy Boys saw Martin Lacey’s Watford score an equaliser deep into injury time, whilst Liverpool continue to frustrate their loyal following by not beating Newcastle. Burnley had a great win at struggling Everton, whilst arsenal continue to improve as they beat Brighton. Spurs looked good away from home as they beat Huddersfield.
