Inaugural President vs Captain Day
The first annual President vs Captain Day is to be held on the 29th of March.This year the event will be a Bisque Par with the added constriction of players only being able to make use of 4 of their clubs, one of which must be the putter. Make your choice and then leave the rest of your set in the boot of your car!Each player will be allocated to either the President’s team or the Captain’s team by the starter and a winner and two runners up will be decided from each team as well as an overall winner.The team with the most points will be declared the winner and give the President or the Captain bragging rights for a year. Enjoy the day and have fun beating your group mates!
Ellsmore scores an ace
Popular member John Ellsmore has achieved a ‘hole-in-one’ on the third hole on Wednesday 19th of March. John’s recovery from hand surgery must be complete with his perfectly struck shot. John will receive 6 balls as well as having his ball mounted as a memento of that special shot. Great shot that!
Steve Jackson eagles the 5 th
White Horse cup player Steve Jackson has played the 5th hole in 2, hitting his perfectly struck sand wedge into the hole in the same comp last Wednesday. Steve was trying out his new set of sticks so I guess he is happy with them. Enjoy the 6 ball reward!
Old fella shoots under his age
Steve Rippon has fired a 61 off the stick in the comp on Wednesday 12th of March, shooting 9 birdies in his round for a nett 44 points on the day. This was good enough for him to win the comp. Who said low markers can’t win. Well played Steve, not bad for an ‘old fella with a walking stick’!
Winning pair fail to score 100 in 2Ball Multiplier (but they came close)
Ray Orr and John Hol have combined brilliantly to score 99 points in Saturday’s 2 ball multiplier event winning by 12 points from Ian Bradburn and Les Farkas. The rest of us can only dream of such scores. Well played to both pairs. Afternoon players found conditions rather tough on the day suffering a torrential downpour and hail storm.
