General Club Noticeboard

Presentations took place on Friday evening for some of the September Competitions.
Some of the Winners available were:
Don Pennycook, winning the Seniors Salver

Steve & Cate Cullington won the Brashaw Family Cup

Bagshaw Bowl -   On Friday at the Club Captains Presentation evening the Bagshaw Bowl was presented by Club vice captain James Footitt to this years winner Gary Skerrit.  This year the competition, seniors raised £500 for Prostate Cancer UK charity making a total of £7,105 since the trophy was donated in 2006.  By coincidence when Gary was club captain his charity was for Prostate Cancer and he raised a similar £7,000 amount during his year.

26 teams played today in the Ladies Am Am under very testing weather conditions. Well done to everyone in competing and making the day a success.

Congratulations go to the team of Sue Brown, Helen Bradshaw, Sue Simpson (Sleaford) and Chris Bishop (Kenwick Park) with a winning score of 78points. They beat a team from Rutland Water consisting of Jane Houghton, Lynda Fitches, Joan Mitford and Sally Harrington also with 78 points, on the back 9.

A tremendous Congratulations to our Stoke Rochford GC Junior Team, who have today been crowned Junior County Champions!

A poor weather forecast reduced the field size for the Coronation Cup on Sunday and steady rain fell as the earlier starters went out and then some heavy showers as the later players were coming home.

The 2s club, entered by 32 players, was definitely worth winning, as only one 2 was recorded!!

Two competitions next weekend, a Medal on Saturday and a Stableford on Sunday, very few chances remaining now to get your handicap where you want it to be for the winter competitions with just one Sunday QC after that on 13/10. Note also that a series of 4 Winter Stablefords have been set up in the diary November - February, these are Mixed non qualifying competitions, played on either Saturday or Sunday, with 2 Divisions and prizes distributed by the usual percentages directly into your competition wallet. Winning 1 or 2 of these will make a substantial dent in your 2020 subscription!!
