There were a lot of people absent from the final event of the Mixed calendar, but it did not stop those of us who turned out having an enjoyable time in pretty good weather. The team competition was closely fought, with runners up Paul and Yvonne Grundy and Mo Monk with their ghost Mike Davies and Ali and John Roberts with Jean Walker and Brian Boughey both posting a respectable 38 points, but first prize went to Pete Wood, Celia Berent, Karen and Brian Pennington with 39 points. Well done Pete, for being player of the year and more or less taking the prizes in nearly all the events - fair enough really as Mr Captain has been an excellent supporter of the mixed over the last two years, and long may it continue! (although there may have to be some handicap considerations if this fine seam of form continues....!)

The Barbara Ames Trophy winners were Julie and Ron Ricketts, away in America, and the runners up Mr and Lady President were awarded wtih their prize too.

Mixed weather for the mixed - but a great day out - 18 of us travelled across the border to Wales and enjoyed a closely fought 4BBB competition. There were some excellent scores but winners on the day were Lady Captain Ali partnered with John Roberts with 47 points and Mary and Chris O'Toole coming second with a commendable 46 points. As a reward for organising Lady President Gwyn Holt won one nearest the pin with Andy Holt winning the other!  Thanks to all of those who supported the event - and diaries out for the next mixed which will be on the 21st October

The sign up sheet for the visit to Padeswood and Bulkeley on Friday 9th September is now in the foyer. As usual, please indicate menu choices and if you wish to play with specific people, please mark that against your name as there will be a draw for teams. For this occasion you are welcome to bring along a guest if you wish but it will be first come first served as there are only 28 places!

A pleasantly sunny day greeted the members, their guests and visitors to the Club as a healthy field of 28 teams competed for the Jubilee Trophy. The first prize was won by Julie Ricketts and her guest Steve Carless (Bramhall Park)  with a great score of 43 points, second place to Celia Berent and her partner John Lavin, invited by Mr Captain, with 39 points. Third place with 38 points on a card play off was Andy Holt with Andrea Atherton (Prestbury). The visitor prize went to Margaret and Howard Davies, from Pryor Hayes and Chester GC with 36 points, their first time to the course so well done! Nearest the pins went to Pete Evans (Rochdale) on the 6th and Sue Lord (also Rochdale) on the 13th, with twos for Celia Berent and John Lavin, Peter Davies and Georgina Whalley and Ron Ricketts and Sue Carless.

We were delighted to welcome some long distance guests from Diss Golf Club - Barbara and Dennis, it will be great to see you next year!
