All the ladies played very solid golf, with all the ladies returning scores of between 33 and 35 points to give the team a total of 204 points. Humberstone Heights were second with 195 points while Western Park were third on 178 points. It was a fantastic result for the team after the disapointment of the men failing to win the trophy. The mixed was cancelled but it is due to be played in October.

Scratch Team Win at Home to Beedles Lake

The Scratch team took on Beedles Lake at home on Thursday 22nd July and the team were extremely keen to pick up a win after the disapointing previous result against Ullesthorpe.

Ben Hall, Lee Tebbutt, Adam Jacques, Jan Reading and Dave Sewart were the victors, with Ed Eley, Geoff Ferrar and James Whitehead losing. a full match report can be found in the Teams-Scratch Team-Match Reports 2-10 page, but you must be a logged in member of the website to view this page.

Darren Peden Wins Bambrick Trophy

The Bambrick Trophy was played over the weekend of Saturday 10th and Sunday 11th July and on a weekend where scoring was very good, Darren Pededn proved to be slightly better than the rest of the field, shooting a very good 43 points to win the trophy on count-back. It was a very solid round from Darren which didn't included many dropped shots, and it is a round which has seen him cut down to 7.9, with a playing handicap of 8. Darren's 42 points equated to a Gross 74. Well done Daz, keep up the good scoring! Barry Lovell was the man just edged out by Darren after his 43 points was just not quite good enough on the back 9 local rules. Barry still picks up a voucher for £36 and also gets cut down to 26. Ben Hall continued his recent good form to finish 3rd on 42 points, a round which included a back 9 of 32 Gross. Ben picks up a voucher for £21 and also goes to the top of the Order of Merit. Steve Ablett was 4th on 41 points which sees him cut down to 12, whil Raj Pattini and Joe Larkey were 5th and 6th respectively on 40 points, with Joe getting himself cut down to 20.

Brian Haines Wins Captains Charity Stableford

There was a Captains Charity Stableford played on Sunday 4th July and it was Brian Haines who won with a very solid 40 points. The competition was played off the yellow tees and Brian has now been cut to 21 in winning the £27 voucher for first place. Brian won the competition on count-back, beating Oadby legend Martyn Morton who won a £17 voucher but is still off 12. Richard Holt was third with 39 points to win a £10 voucher and get cut to 17, while Prakhash Magdani also finished on 39 points to get cut to 17. Tim Bingham finished on 38 points while Stuart Monksfield and Steve Ablett both ended up with 37 points.

The Captains Charity Stableford at the end of June was a competition with a difference, as the Captain decided to make it a 5 clubs & a putter challenge. It was a good idea and I would think all who played in the comp enjoyed the difference of not having a full set of clubs to choose from. The competition was over 2 days and Colin Hacworth came out on top over the two days, picking up a £28 voucher for his 38 points. It is Colin's first competition win since joining the club and it will be a massive confidence boost for Colin. Well done Colin! Colin beat Tim Bingham on count-back, with Tim picking up a £17 voucher for his second place finish. Geoff Kiff beat Brian Haines on count-back into third place on 37 points to pick up an £11 voucher, while Rob Lovell, Nick McAffrey and Ray Clark all finished the competition with 36 points.
