Annual Days outing to Bowood Golf Club on 8th/9th September 2013
28 members took up the challenge of our Annual days outing to Bowood GC in Calne Wiltshire. The facilities at both the hotel and golf club were excellent as was the dinner served on the Sunday night.
Breaking with tradition the Chairman did present the Chairmans Cap on this occasion to Neville for what can only be described as gross technical hypocrisy .
The golf course was quite different to that most of the members are used to in that it was 6500 yards from our tees and had some 90 or so bunkers. Some of the bunkers were huge and the remainder just very large .There certainly was more conversation at dinner about bunkers than birdies!!
The Sunday competitions were for the usual trophies and a full summary of the winners and Champagne Moments are on the attached sheet. However, the best score of 35 points was achieved by Bobby Webb playing of a 6 handicap, a great effort considering the average score for this round was 26.9 points.
The Sunday dinner was excellent and the Chairman, despite having taken wine with various members, did an eloquent job in presenting the many prizes.
The Monday round was an individual Stableford combined with a Bowmaker team match. A little rain did nothing to dampen the spirits and Steve Webb not to be outdone by his brother won this round with 34 points on a count back from Steve Heritage. Course knowledge did little to improve the average score which was 25.4 points.
The Bowmaker match was won by Bobby Webb Simon Waldron and Chairman Phil.
I am sure that all members had an enjoyable couple of days in a very good venue despite the difficulties some of us had with the bunkers.
Next Outing
Our next outing will be the Greensomes competition on Thursday 31st October at Abbey Park Golf Club Redditch. Partners will be drawn so no need to enter in pairs. The entry list is at The Bell.
Full details will be sent out nearer the time.
Happy golfing
