The Seniors ( Evergreens ) meet every Friday at 08.30 hrs.

The Captain - Raymond Bilton - is always willing to chat and can be contacted through the members section of the website or via the Pro shop.

If Friday is not convenient then there is an offshoot group (The Deans) meeting on Monday (11 am) and Wednesday ( 8 am). Their contacts are Gordon Neale and Richard Jones all contactable through the website or the Pro shop.

No matter what time of year you are guaranteed a warm welcome here!

....... make sure you know the right handicap for each tee and that you are aware of all the local rules .

It will be his winter of discount tent!

R.I.P. Mike King.

We said goodbye to another stalwart of the club last week with the passing of Mike King.

He was a true student of the game and many of us have one or more of his 'creations' in our golf bags.

His knowledge and ability were second to none as was his fighting spirit!

Another member who will be truly missed.

Details of the cremation can be found on the main club website.

October Better Ball.

A blustery day saw four teams set off on a Bowmaker contest where the best two from three scores counted.

Wet and windy but the teams were in before the worst of the weather.

Skipper Raymond Bilton took the wisest choice as he decided to drop out to even up the sides!!

Steve Vale continued his winning ways with yet another first place!

Bob, Steve and Roy.

Who is this?

Have you heard this one ?

An elderly man is wheeling a trolley through the supermarket.  In the front is a small child, making an unholy racket.  They pass a woman, who overhears the man.

"It's alright, George, we're nearly done," he says.

A few minutes later she encounters them again.  This time the child is clawing open a packet of crisps and throwing them at the elderly man.  She overhears him again.

"Patience, George - nearly there."

Two aisles over, and there they are again.  The child is now howling and kicking the elderly man, while rubbing snot into his jumper.  Once more she overhears him.

"Not long now, George.  We're nearly out of here."

Near the checkouts she runs into them again.  Now the child is throwing money out of the elderly man's wallet and swearing picturesquely at other shoppers.  She can't help hearing him again.

"Soon be at the car, George, soon be time to go home.  Just need to stick it out a little longer."

On the way out, she can't help herself.  She goes up to the elderly man, excuses herself for butting in, and congratulates him on his patience with his grandson George.  "I've never seen anyone deal so calmly with this sort of thing," she tells him.

"Well, thank you, miss," he replies.  "But I'm George.  This little sod is called Kevin.

Did I?

Play Golf or just spoil another walk?

As you walk off the course next time ask yourself the following questions:

Did I enjoy myself?

Have I signed my card?

Did I replace my divots and repair my pitch marks?

You should answer YES to them all!
