We 2nd Ian Ellis 70 are now approximately two thirds through our matches with only 3rd Dave Folland 71 two more fixtures at home, the remaining nine are away. 4th Glynn Jones ACB 72 Over the last year or so, your committee have been looking at Div 2 Net introducing new match opponents and removing the less popular 1st John McStravick 69 fixtures. To this end, our last two fixtures are new ones, these being 2nd Chris Richards ACB 72 Hartley Wintney away and Shanklin & Sandown away. To help fit 3rd Sandy Baille-Str ACB 72 these new fixtures in we have removed the Hamptworth match 4th Pete Langrish ACB 72 from 2018 onwards. The Senior Men’s Open was played on the 19th July in damp Farmer 12th July 2017 Stbfd conditions. A field of 96, which was made up of 32 members and Div 1 64 visitors (Keith Norman had to stand in for one visitor who did 1st Jim Yeates 37pts not turn up), competed on the day.

Alan Seniors Open 19th July 17 See Page 2&3 and Clive’s record in our Open, since it has been a pairs Farmer 26th July 2017 Medal competition, is impressive they won in 2015, came third in 2016 Div 1 Net and won again this year. 1st Bob Peacock 69 As is the practice, you showed your generosity by bringing prizes 2nd Brian Harvey 70 for the raffle. With the help of Marion Beames, Michelle 3rd Barry Rowe 74 McStravick and Theresa Barber, we managed to raise £550 for this 4th Ken Gatrall ACB 78 year’s charities the Rainbow Project based in Southampton and the Div 2 Net Rainbow Centre based in Fareham. Your continued generosity in 1st Keith Norman 77 supporting charities is something that we can be very proud of. I received many complementary comments from both members and 2nd Sandy Baille-Strong 83 visitors both on the day and since. I would like to thank Committee 3rd David Bevington 85 Members, Bar Staff, Ian Diment & his staff, Office and Pro Shop 4th David Williamson 87 staff for helping to make the day a success. There was however some confusion over the status of the members competition. Whilst some were informed that it was not a qualifier, in reality it was a qualifier. This issue was caused by poor communications between the members of the Committee, for this I apologise. To make it clear all Senior Men’s competitions are qualifiers, if a qualifying course is available (does not apply to am-am or split sixes). The entry forms for the Mixed Texas Scramble with the Ladies Section and the Senior Men’s Invitation are on the Notice Board; please enter your name if you want to play. Lastly, I hope you continue to enjoy your golf and let us hope the weather is kind to us for the remainder of the summer.
