Greetings from Matt
This week see’s the 5th anniversary for the Simmons family and what a fabulous day we had last Sunday for the Simmons Trophy. We had a massive field with 160 entries, the biggest entry of the year so far showing how much the members value the Club under the Simmons family, who would like to thank everyone who played on the day for their support.
Conditions were brilliant all day so it was no surprise that the winning score was a nett 67, however we were not banking on 8 pairs shooting the same score! After all of the count backs the results were as follows.
- David Powner & Rob Hughs
- Matt Swift & Mr Captain (Ian Schofield)
- Lance Round & Kev Doyle
- Mike Baynham & Graham Donohoe
Nearest the pins were won by Pete Caswell & Graham Donohoe.
LE no 4 took place on Monday 23rd with the following results:
Div One
- Ray Care nett 71
- Mick Stamp nett 71
- John Orgill nett 71
Div Two
- Tom Jones nett 70
- Fred Hackett nett 74
- Tony Archbold nett 76
28 handicap winner Keith Street nett 78
Congratulations to Tom Jones, the overall winner, and to most of the above for a handicap adjustment.
This was followed by LE No 7 on Monday 30th June and thanks to Fred’s sterling efforts the results have become available early and are shown below:
Div One
Barrie Woodward 39 pts
Mike Pearson 36 pts
Fred Ainsworth 36 pts
Div Two
- Fred Hackett 37 pts
- Eddie Harris 35 pts
- Tony Archbold 35 pts
On Monday 24th June the Chase interclub team had an excellent result winning away at Stafford Castle by a score of 4.5: 2.5
They followed this up by an even better result away at Lichfield on 26th June (the only team to beat us so far this season) winning by a convincing 4.5: 2.5 margin
Not to be outdone by this, the Vets team powered to a 4: 2 victory (8 points to 4 points) away at Blythe Bridge, the day being highlighted by a hole in one by Jon Bowen of the Chase. Some say it is purely coincidental that an ex-banking employee should chose to have a hole in one at a golf club without a bar!!!
