Congratulations to Rogie And Kathy Morris
PING Women’s Fourball Betterball – Plate Final Gainsborough Golf Club 5th September – Huge congratulations to Rogie Taylor and Kathy Morris for successfully reaching the Ping Final. This is a magnificent achievement with such a huge number of entrants (1760!). I am just thrilled for you both. Enjoy the day – take lots of photos. We will all be cheering you both on.

Eclectic Cup – Thursday 1st & 8th September

This is two full medal rounds. Both are qualifying rounds, so you need to putt out on every hole, even if you have scored better on round one. Good luck and play well.

Pearson Challenge Trophy

This will be played for on 15th September alongside our September Stableford competition. Marica Kelland will invite all Pearson Team members who played in the 2015/16 season to compete. This trophy will be presented to the winner at the Ladies AGM on 3rd November.

Jean Crouch and Stan celebrated their grandson’s wedding at Chesfield on Friday. As always Jean was looking lovely. She hopes to come back to join us for golf in the near future. We look forward to seeing you back on the course, Jean.

Good Luck to Our Team This Week – Friendly at Barkway on Tuesday 16th August

GOLF RESULTS

Some truly amazing golf has been played this week.

Palmer Cup Ladies v Senior Men Wednesday 10th August
The Ladies team were triumphant – winning back the Palmer Cup from the senior team after two years. A magnificent 5:1 win. It was a lovely event, played in a most friendly and enjoyable way.

Scratch Team v Mid Herts Sunday 7th August
Lauren Pitcher amazed us all with a brilliant HOLE IN ONE on the 12th at Mid Herts!!! How fantastic. A very close match with Mid Herts winning 3 games to our 2. Still two matches to go and all to play for.

Mary Warmoth Cup

The Pairs Knockout is coming to a dramatic conclusion. Jenny Feaver and Sally Weekes are through to the Final after a very close semi final match against Lin Goodey and Helen Leigh which went all the way to the 18th hole. Sally chipped into the hardest hole on the course from 100 yards out for a birdie on the 2nd. Then made another birdie on the 7th and Jenny, not to be outdone, achieved a birdie on the 17th. What a match !!!

7-Day

Weekend August Medal – Linda Brown scored a magnificent nett 68 to win the competition. Not only did she get a very nice 2 shot handicap cut, but scored an Eagle on the 7th hole. Well done Linda. A good day’s golf. 2nd Megan Bonner nett 78, 3rd Lauren Pitcher nett 79

Tuesday
