Captains Update for February

Club Captain: Steve Vyse

I start by thanking you all for the condolence messages regarding the sad loss of Julian Noble-Brown. Julian was a wonderful person and well respected by the members. Amelia and James would like to pass on their thanks for all the kind messages received.

Competitions:

The Pat Appleford MacMillan Texas Scramble was played in atrocious conditions and 4 teams managed to complete 14 holes before calling it a day. My congratulations go to the winning team of Kevin Battman,Mark Bliss,Connor and Graham Taylor with a Nett score of 34.9.

TEAMS (men)
Over the golfing year we play several club matches home and away, it’s a chance to play a competitive round of golf usually match play, make new friends, and play on a different course. Arkley has 3 different teams offering a variety of challenges depending on your ability. Since last year there has been a few changes to the personnel set up:

STAGS & RABBITS:
David Holt and John Casalaspro have stood down as team managers and they have been replaced by John Ginn with John Jennings as his assistant. David Holt will continue as fixture secretary for both teams.

If you are interested in playing for the club the following criteria applies.

RABBITS
Min h/cap 18, with no age restrictions, matches usually played in the afternoon followed by refreshments.

Last year’s results
Played 6 / Won 4 / Halved & Lost 1

STAGS:

Min age 55 with no h/cap limit, matches played in the morning followed by lunch.

Last year’s results
Played 11 / Won 8 / Lost 3

Stag of the year was David Ross with 7 wins out of 10 matches.

FOXES:
