Sudden death for Junior Champ!
Tuesday 27th July
2009 Junior Club Champion Calum Marjoram birdied the 36th hole to take this year’s competition to a sudden-death play-off as he tied with Tommy Ashton on 159. Tommy prevailed at the 1st extra hole to win the Scorer Trophy as 2010 Junior Club Champion.
Nick Marnoch wins the Rylands Trophy for the best 36-hole nett score of 130. Cameron Taylor missed out after scoring equal best gross score of 77 in the morning as he ended the day 1 behind in the handicap and 2 behind in the championship.
On a day of impressive scoring 7 of the 10 players cut their handicaps. Nick Marnoch takes over the lead in the Aslett Trophy for the Junior with the best hole by hole nett score for 2010 on count-back from Ed Morgan.
Saturday Morning ‘Roll-Up’
STOP PRESS: The next dates for Saturday morning roll up are: 31st July; and 14th August.
On Saturday mornings the first tee is booked from 8am to 8.30am for members to make up and play as they arrive. In other words, no booked games. This is an important way for members to mix and meet new friends. In particular, new members will find this arrangement beneficial. Importantly, all those turning up are guaranteed a game as the activity is overseen to create 3 or 4 ball groups as appropriate.
(’Roll-Up and Play’ does not apply on Saturdays when there is a Club competition.)
