New Captains

Sunday evening saw the new Captain Chris Singleton take office at the AGM, he takes over from Mark Charity who has been a fabulous Captain, I would like to personally thank Mark for his support this year and wish him all the best in his more relaxed role of IPC. 

To Chris I hope you have a successful and enjoyable year as Captain and I look forward to helping you wherever I can. 

This coming Saturday the club has a Meet the Captains event, there are still times available for the stableford throughout the day and at night there are still spaces available for the buffet and vocalist, should be a good evening so come along and support the new Captains Chris Singleton and Sylvia Burton. 

Tickets available by contacting the steward.


 

Winter League

The final event of the winter league 2016/17 was played on Saturday, 46 players went out with hopes of one last good round and with prizes for the top 10 in the order of merit much was left to play for. The winner of the day prize went to Eric Cook who wasn't even going to play! Just shows you never know when a good round is about to happen! Eric had 34 points which was matched by Bob Rowland fresh from his African odyssey but Eric won on a countback. Good final rounds from Mark Harrison and Gary Charlesworth John Ramsey, Steve Newton, Phil Dickinson and Hugh Crawshaw who all had 33 pts.

The winner of the Inaugural Winter League OOM was the afore mentioned Hugh Crawshaw, his 33pts enough to keep his lead over his only rival for the title Malcolm Richardson. Hugh finished on 89 points and Malcolm on 77 points, in 3rd place in the OOM was Phil Dickinson on 72 Points.

I would like to thank everyone who played in the league this Winter, the support has been fantastic for a new event at Wortley, we have had some luck with the weather but even when the winter weather wasn't so good for golf you guys all turned out and made the winter league a success. We will definitely be going again next winter.

The prize giving for the Winter League will be on the Good Companions Prize Giving night… The date for this evening is still to be arranged.
