Ronald McDonald House Charity Golf Day
Trevor Smith, Brian Matthews, Granville Campbell and Rob Bernstein played at Royal Birkdale in the Ronald McDonald House Charity event, which is this year's venue for 2017 Open Championship. As a team, they put in a great performance finishing second place.
Congratulations to Trevor Smith for getting a Hole In One on the 181 yard, par 3 12th hole. He got 25 points on the back nine and came second in the individual with 40 points. I am sure he will be watching this year Open Championship very closely, to see how to pro's compare to his fantastic performance.
Latest Update
Work on the new irrigation pumps will now be completed by this coming weekend. We were very fortunate that our contractors were able to bring the work forward to this week. The new paths will be installed and complete by middle of next week.
We will be providing an interim fix with rubbish on the course, as it's becoming quite apparent over the last few weeks. In the short term, we will be attaching lids to all the bins in an attempt to keep our resident crows at bay. Long term, we will be looking at all course furniture including bins, with a sponsorship opportunity available.
First Scratch Match Of The Year
Thank you to Martin Hallam, Martin Joshua (Josh), Dave French, Jake Day, Kristian Summerfield and Ben Smallman for representing the Welcombe Golf Club in our first Scratch team match of the year.
We played away to Stratford Golf Club, who we all know have a very strong scratch team, we unfortunately finished second best. There were some very closely contest matches, with Jake Day managing to beat one of Stratford's lower handicappers.
Bring on the return fixture.
