The summer appears to have finished rather abruptly as autumn arrives with a vengeance, thankfully David and his team managed to finish the hollow coring of the greens and to progress with the work to the fringes. Hopefully, with a few days of warmth before the cold weather kicks in, their efforts will bear fruits.
Congratulations to our Ladies Captain Jillian Hughes and next years Ladies Captain Heather Milburn on making it through to the final in the R & A Coronation foursomes played at St Andrews, finishing second by 1 point to a pair who play their golf on a links course, a fantastic effort!
Mark Bonser and Marie Spence represented the club in the Durham County Mixed Foursomes, valiantly progressing to the Semi Finals until they lost to Brancepeth, the eventual winners.
John Kennedy represented the club in the Alan Curtis Scratch Memorial at Whitburn Golf Club on 22nd September, finishing 2nd. I had the privilege of caddying for John on the day and I have to say he represented the club fantastically well, both on and off the course…..as usual.
The League 6-18 Handicap 4 man team event which was rained off early in the season, had been re scheduled for Saturday 28th September to be played Garesfield GC……….and it was rained off again!!!!!!!!!!!!
The ‘Crook Match’ which is to be played on 19th October, has been well subscribed by all sections. Final details shall be confirmed on BRS and on clubhouse notice boards over the next few days. Those who have their names down please keep a look out for the notices, or ring me on 07980242118.
Finally, while it is not possible or prudent to have renewed the Sky Sports subscription at this point in time, on behalf of the members and Directors of the club I would like to thank David Malone and Mark Smith for their donation which enabled us to trial it for the year. The situation shall continue to be monitored, however, I hope the members appreciate that the financial stability of the club has to remain the number one priority.
In the meantime, Enjoy your golf everyone.
