Okay - first off he’s back so don’t forget your divot bucket!

Secondly thanks to Norman Gill who asked the question as to the reason behind the feature pic Don’t Press sign in the mens locker room. Its actually one of three - the others reading

Far and Sure

Be Up

and they are all golfing statements.

To Press is to try and win back money during a match, which already has a bet on, by introducing a new bet over the remaining holes.  There is a fair bit about it if one googles. Interestingly there are comments on whether it is acceptable etiquette to turn down a press if offered - maybe that implies it is not the thing to do by trying to impose it?

Sunday Roll-up

19 roll-uppers yesterday morning with all five flights zooming around sub 4 hours (3.50 to be precise!) Great conditions, albeit very chilly for the last hour.

One 2 recorded by Paul Marples on 14, where his playing partners watched anxiously to see if he could secure his 2nd Sunday roll-up ace on the same hole! Alas 2 feet off but obvs sank his putt for the birdie.

37 points was the order of the day (all the podium finishers carding that score thus cleverly managing to avoid a handicap cut). Sorting the medals out on countback the results were:

3rd place - Mike Williams

2nd place went to Matt Jordan



And top finisher with 22 points on the back 9 - Paul Marples

Short and sweet this week but plenty on the horizon - so for now…

That’s All Folks!
