Many thanks to Col, Vic & the team for your valued support. The lack of grass on our fairways at present is proving a real challenge for everyone & hence the scores are well below average. Not one person played to their handicap on Saturday which is testament to the trying (or should I say drying) conditions.

Rob Moore took the honours on the day with a beautifully crafted 35 points. Rob narrowly defeated Bill Murray on a countback to take out the B Grade trophy. When you play as much golf as these two gentlemen you are bound to finish at the head of the field on a regular basis! (Not that I'm envious or anything) Good shooting lads!

In A Grade it was Steve Burns who reigned supreme with 33 points. Steve is another one who is passionate about his golf. Great to see you chalk up another win Steve. C Grade winner was Steve Benson with 34 points. Steve is making a habit of Saturday golf - not to mention beating his old man too!

Great to see you out there on a regular basis Steve. NTPs : A: Steve Burns; B: David Mann (2nd week in a row); C: Steve Benson C Grade Long Drive : Paul Benson 2nd Shot NTP: Hairy Osborne Ball Comp winners: Rob Moore 35, Bill Murray 35, Steve Benson 34, Steve Burns 33, Doug Blanch 32, Brian Osborne 32.

Don't forget to get your teams organised for the massive Bowe & Lidbury 4-man ambrose next Saturday. Pete Markey has put together an impressive array of trophies for the day. The sheet is filling fast.

Good golfing. Shankers apprentice.

Wednesday was the second round of the Club Championships, with one round to go it looks at this stage that Ev Blanch should be a clear winner, however it's never over until the last hole is finished. Myrelle Fraser was the winner of Wednesday's 18 Hole Competition with a 74 Nett taking out the winners trophy which was sponsored by Georgie Tisdell, thank you Georgie for sponsoring the day and we hope it won't be long until you join us at golf again. The runner up winner was Ev Blanch with a 76 nett. Ball winners were Margaret Dunn 77 nett and Jill Carson 80nett. Both NTP's were won by Myrelle Fraser. Congratulations to Ev and Paul Blanch being the Mixed Foursome Championship winners on Sunday, a great day was had by all, its just a shame we don't get more couples to participate. Don't forget Friday is Open Day and I believe there is a full field, so ladies don't forget we need cooking for afternoon tea. Next weeks event is the final Monthly Medal Round to be sponsor.
