A great attendance to today’s Round 7 - Double Bubble with 20 players entering and on the same weekend as the Women’s Open it seems rather fitting Tracey Smith takes 1st place winning with 41 Stableford points . In a close 2nd on countback Ian Buff Clothier, a valiant effort from Mark Scard in 3rd with 40pts, 4th and now current OOM leader Anthony Wynne 39pts, 5th Merv Jennings 38pts, 6th Reece Lambert 37pts on countback to 7th Sheridan ‘2019 winner’ Hodges, 8th myself 36 pts, 9th Toby Harris 35pts and in 10th taking the last Rttv points Nigel Bow. Honourable mention goes to Dan Tuffin for the lowest gross of 81 and scoring 2 birdies , also to M Scard, S Hodges, myself, N Lambourne and G Mitchell for all scoring 1 birdie . I can’t thank you all enough for getting involved and hope to see you at the end of this month for round 8. Cheers! (The next round is now scheduled for Sunday 31st August)
Congratulations to Toby and Steve Harris who played the Adult/Junior Greensomes County Championships and they narrowly missed out on a third place finish on countback from 26 entrants. Well played and a big thank you for being great representatives of our club.
Blatchy's Report
Captains Day 2025 didn’t disappoint! Massive thanks to all the members, friends & family who contributed in raising £1560 for Julia’s House children’s hospice. My personal thanks also go to Toni/Little Legs & team for their hospitality, Steve/Andy for the course, Kev D & Miller for the end games and Geoff for the on-course refreshments. Big shout also goes to Roy Foster who joined the hole in one club by bagging an ace on the 10th hole. Well Played Joe Boon winner on the day with 40pts.Much Love, Your Captain Blatchy 🙌 ❤️
Julia’s House is a Children's Hospice in Dorset and Wiltshire. They are an award-winning children’s hospice charity dedicated to bringing comfort and care to families across the two counties. Each family they support is unique and so is the care they provide. When a family finds out that their child has a very serious medical condition, which is life-limiting or life-threatening, their world falls apart. Julia’s House exists to help these children and their families.
