General Club Noticeboard

Ninety six players entered the MDJ Salver, a Stableford open to Ladies & Gents and normally played much earlier in the season but postponed in 2020 due to COVID-19. The weather continues to be unseasonally windy & wet so CSS went up to 72 for Gents but remained at 72 for Ladies.

Tom Younghusband was the clear winner with a superb 42 points, this included a pitch in for eagle on 16 and demonstrated his recent form in club knockout competitions and this one earned him an extra 2 shot reduction on top of the 2.4 shots he lost for his score. Gareth Jones also earned an Exceptional Scoring Reduction for his run of good scores recently.

It's obvious looking at the numbers entered for each cup that we need to rebalance the split of handicaps, so in 2021 this revert to the standard 0-12 & 13-54 levels.

The 2s club was shared by 8 players.

Two more trophy competitions next weekend with the MDJ Salver (Stableford) on Saturday and the Bob Cullington Memorial (Medal) on Sunday.

On Bank Holiday Monday we have the Mixed Fourball Open, there are a small number of places available for what is a very popular event, Craig & Penny Hallam will be defending the title they've won for the last 2 years, can anyone beat them?

Don't forget about entering the Brashaw, Carvath & Collingwood Cups in the Pro shop! The Brashaw & Collingwood pairings must be formed from close family members, specific details for these and all other competitions are in the competition booklet you can see by following this link, you'll need to be logged in to see the document.
