November Texas Scramble.
Where have all the Seniors gone?
Only ten turned up this week so a two ball format was played on a glorious morning.
The top two teams could only be separated on the final three holes of countback and that was just by one shot.
Well done Raymond for sorting that out!

Who is this?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Have you heard this one ?
Shortly after a British Airways flight had reached its cruising altitude, the captain announced: "Ladies and Gentlemen, this is your captain.
Welcome to Flight 293, non-stop from London Heathrow to New York.
The weather ahead is good, so we should have an uneventful flight.
So, sit back, and ... Oh...My God !"
Silence followed.......................... complete silence !.......................
Some moments later, the captain came back on the intercom.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm sorry if I scared you. While I was talking to you, a flight attendant accidently spilled coffee in my lap. You should see the front of my pants ! "
From the back of the plane, an Irish passenger yelled " For the luvva Jaysus, you should see the back of mine ! "
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Who said?

The Deans.
Monday Matins.
(Notes from Friar Neale)
24/11/25
Good afternoon all,
14 of us braved a cold damp day which was just about rain free.
Just a bit of drizzle for the last team in, on the 18th. We played an AJ stableford competition taking the best 2 scores. 2 x 3 balls and 2 x 4 balls.
In reverse order:
4th place: Dave Milsom, Barry, John the Cab Dave D. with 64 points
3rd place: Richard T. Slim, Gordon D. & Bevan with 68.7 points
2nd place: Sid, Adrian L. & James Fisher with 74 points
and in 1st place:
Brendan, Rod & Nigel with 89 points. Well done!
The 3 best individual rounds were from the winners, not unsurprisingly!
Bredan 38 points. Nigel 36 points. Rod 34 points. Sid also got 34 points and level on countback.
I am considering revoking Nigels winnings as he was late for the first tee time.
This obviously caused me great distress and ruined my round, which would otherwise have been exceptional.
Regards
Richard T.

Wednesday Wizards.
( Musings from The Elders)
26/11/25
Good afternoon all.
Ten of us set out on a bright frosty morning and the temperature rapidly increased for a quite pleasant back nine. James G. retired on the 3rd so we played 3 x 3 balls adopting an Alan J. format, best 2 scores to count.
Holding up the rear were Colin Cox, Rod Spring and Adrian Little with 68 points.
I promised not to mention Adrians tally of 24 points, the worst of the day.
In second were Tony Finch, Richard T. and Bevan Metcalf with 77 points. Robbed of a fine victory by a discredited and frankly medieval system of something called "Countback"! (This must be reviewed.)
Luckily, in first place, also with 77 points were Brendan Coyle, Nigel Connor and Gordon Dobson.
Well..... done .
Best scores of the day were Nigel & Bevan on 33 points. Nigel ahead on countback but under the new system that I'm working on and hope to publish in due course
um...... I won !
regards
Richard T.

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!
