Newsletter Update 3rd November

                                    Newsletter 3rd November 2012

                   Outing to Wychwood Golf Club on 2nd November 2012
 

It is worth noting that exactly 11 years and 1 day ago on this golf course, then known as Lyneham GC, the first outing of The Bell Inn Golf Society was held. On that occasion 15 members and the coach driver made up the 16 players.
On this day again 16 members took part, the numbers down slightly due to business commitments and injuries.
Before commencing play the Chairman’s Cap was awarded to Steve Jordan again for forgetting his golf shoes, this forgetfulness is becoming a BGS habit!!
The Chairman also wished Elizabeth a full and speedy recovery from her broken leg.
A toast was also proposed to Tom & Nicola on their forthcoming wedding and all wished them a long and happy life together.
The weather gods again smiled on us albeit a sharp cold shower reminded us we were playing in November. Considering the recent heavy rain the course was in good condition with good greens and tees although a bit heavy under foot!
Simon Waldron -Winner with 39points

The Stableford competition was a closely fought affair with Simon Waldron winning on a very good 39 points just edging out Steve Heritage on 38 with Warren McDivitt third with 35 points.
Nearest the pin on the 6th was won by Mike Barnes with Warren McDivitt winning the nearest the pin in 2 on the 18th hole.
An excellent carvery was provided to end a most enjoyable day at Wychwood GC.
As customary the après golf was held at the 'club hous' which was enjoyed by the majority of the days’ players.
Our next outing is the post-Christmas meeting on Friday 28th December at Tewkesbury GC the entry list is at The Bell Inn.
Happy golfing
Russ Ralph
