What a great start to my Captaincy. 26 players, a brilliant turnout and well done to Ciro for winning the Bob Baker Trophy and to Scouse Dave for winning the Captains drive, a colossal 155 yards against a howling wind. Also a memorable auction at which we raised over £1300 split between the RBL and my charity(Thames Valley Adventure Playground)
A sincere thank you to everyone and see you next Sunday for the Poppy Cup………Captain Steve

We have been busy during the late summer. A successful work morning was carried out on Sept 26th, cleaning the outside furniture , roof and various jobs in the clubhouse.

We’ll done to Gary Hobbs. A score of +5 to win the Nancy Mitchell Trophy. Congratulations also to Danny Tucker for a hole in one at the 5th((9iron)

Hats off to Martin Harris for winning the Absent Friends trophy with a fabulous 43 points. Only 3 cards wrong, , not too bad but improvement can be made.

The Jardine Barrel (Three clubs and a putter) was won by our Secretary Steve Reed. He was heard to say that it was useful to use more clubs than normal

The annual presentation dinner was a great success. Beaconsfield Captain gave a speech in which he underlined our good relationship with the parent club and vice versa. He gave us all the news regarding clubhouse and course improvements and plans for the future. It was very well recieved by our members. Prize giving was very competitive, with Danny Tucker getting his usual quota byt barking at his heels were Martin Harris and Mick Monahan with 5 apiece I believe

Remember Worzel Gummidge? Well, Danny Saia rummaged through his shed and found not only his Happy Head but also his Quite Good at Golf Head. The old charmer swept his partner Allison off her feet and stormed to victory, despite the best efforts of that other former lothario, Les Goodyer with his partner , Margeret.

As per usual Lee Homer came up short but at least he beat Stuart

Well Gentlemen, what can I say apart from what a fabulous weekend of golf it’s been.
Firstly Saturday, a big thank you to the team who beat Denham 3-2 on their own track. A course in wonderful condition, second only to ours, which goes without saying.

Sunday saw the Artisans dirty dozen beat The Presidents XII, 3.5 to 2.5. A wonderful afternoon of golf culminating in Frank Wood and Peter Grey serving up a culinary delight of lamb shank to seal the deal washed down with an excessive amount of alcohol in true Artisan style.
