Hi Everyone,
Welcome to this the final newsletter of 2018, and possibly for some considerable time – I say nothing!!! So as well as reflecting on the Colin Pedley, there will also be a summary of the year’s awards, but first of course [did you doubt it] an announcement – but just the one:
The Seniors AGM, which is being held on 8th January following the first roll-up of the New Year and sustenance in the form of lunch will be available at a cost of £8, but please note: unlike with the Pedley this will be optional meaning that if you wish to take advantage either let me know in advance via Email or by using a sign-up sheet that will be in the clubhouse on the day – in either event, payment must be made to the clubhouse BEFORE starting your round.
Colin Pedley
The weather proved the most influential factor ‘on the day’ as strong winds and, for those with a late teed-time, the rain conspired to make in an interesting if not challenging round for all concerned. In the end it was the cunning ‘low-flight’ technique of Dave Wanless’ driving that paid dividends, as Dave won through with a blistering score of 41.

And for those that missed it, the full results were:
Colin Pedley: Winner Dave Wanless 41
Second Jerry Senior 36 c/b
Third Jeff Dixon 36 c/b
Fourth Peter Metcalfe 34 c/b
On-course: Nearest-the-pin [13] Chris Smyth
Nearest-the-pin in two [18] David Stroud
Longest drive [5] Brian Reid
The ‘Pedley’ was of course followed by a hearty lunch and our annual awards ceremony, and once everyone had refuelled & thawed-out, a generally good time was evidently had by all as the following images clearly show.

Golfer 1: I hid her teeth!!!!
Common’ It could only be Tommy Cooper
A Merry Christmas and a happy New Year to you all, and please give Richard & Brian all the support you can when they pick up the reins – you will have heard it before but believe me, it’s a pretty thankless task.
