Well another busy week for the club, and with the weather seemingly improving we have seen plenty of play.
With the new membership categories helping membership numbers, and with the course in excellent order, there is a real feel good factor around the place right now.
Well done on Saturday to Steve Irving whose better exact handicap 65 saw him top the pile in the Croft Baker qualifier from Paul Duffield. Steve Brattan had an excellent 71 to win best gross, but is smarting after his Hull side got relegated on Sunday!! Look out on the board for the 16 names who go into the knockout stages.
Also well done to the mixed team on Sunday for beating arch rivals Grimsby in the mixed match.

Tuesday, 19 May 2015 - Wally Metcalf Salver
Dave Rushworth & Peter Taylor
Harry Balmforth & Alex Campbell
Despite the terrible weather forecast for this competition 32 members participated and enjoyed the mornings golf, managing to dodge the light showers!!
Football wise a disappointing end to the campaign for my boys, losing 4-1 at Arsenal after a high of beating the champions Chelsea 3-0 on Monday!! Well done to Stoke for a 6-1 demolition of Liverpool, a sad end for Mr Gerrard. Other than Newcastle surviving at the expense of Hull it there weren't many changes in the Premiership.
The cricket is proving interesting and evenly poised against New Zealand, with Ben Stokes recording the fastest test hundred ever at Lords to swing the match back towards England. I am looking forward to seeing some of the last days' play today, Monday, after I finish the admin!!
