The first senior match of the season took lace at Wincanton on a glorious summer morning. Twelve of our finest battled it out in what was to be a very closely fought event which resulted in an overall half. (see the adjacent Table for the results.) A big thank you to Wincanton Captain Phil and team, and the Club House team for their super hospitality. In spite of recent corings on the greens the course was in great condition resplendent in the warm sunshine. A great start to the season for our team who's next challenge is an away match at Charminster on May 6th.
The 6 away matches will be replicated at home with 2 additional matches against Wincanton in a Ryder Cup type format and the Triangular against Cannington and Henstridge. The concentrated fixture list (See panel below) starts on 29th April and finishes on 23rd September taking advantage of good weather and dry courses. Hopefully you will consider joining in and continue with the success enjoyed in 2024 (played
13, won 7, drew 2). The entry sheet will be posted 2 to 3 weeks before the match with the team being selected approximately 1 week before the event. Looking forward to seeing some new faces to add to our regular attendees. For any further information contact Gary Rogers on the WhatsApp message system.
