Hello golfers, 

I hope this finds you well and you have been managing to play some golf this past week or so. And so we approach the years 3rd major as The Open at St Andrews which takes place next week. Rather than all the talk being centred around Jordan Spieth search for the 3rd leg of the Grand Slam the centre of attention falls squarely on the shoulders of the World No1 Rory McIlroy who has withdrawn from the event after sustaining a ruptured ankle ligament playing 5 a side football with friends! Many question his decision to do something so risky and others say that he needs to do something to relax away from golf. I sit in both camps. I agree he needs to relax in whatever way he feels he wants to but I do question the timing of it! The week before a major he really should be wrapping himself up in cotton wool and just concentrate on his preparation. Anyway I'm sure he will learn from the experience and act a bit differently in future. 

Apologies 

I need to start this week by apologising to Brian Tozer for missing out the Teignagers Stableford last week. Brian recorded a brilliant 40pts to win division 2 and receive a handicap cut. Sorry and well done Brian. Congratulations also to Tom Duncan Senior for winning division 1 with an excellent 39pts. 




Teignagers Medal 

Noel Lowe was star performer in the Teignagers medal as his excellent nett 66 was the best score on the day and also bagged him top spot in division 2. Runner up was Russell Tuckett with a nett 67. Tony Potter is a man on form and his nett 67 took division 1 honours from Horace Floyd who finished on nett 70.

Mens Stableford 

Richard Aggett took division 1 honours in the Mens Stableford with 39pts beating Steve Allen in to runners up spot with 36pts. Division 2 was won by Ian Williams who signed for 39pts 1 ahead of Simon Gaskin. Round of the day was by Mike Raddon who had a brilliant 42pts. Runner up with an excellent 41pts was Will Hellier.

Captain and Pro Challenge 

Ted and myself are looking for challengers to take us on in a series of challenge matches. The format will be better ball pairs better ball stableford The cost is £10 per pair but if any pairs beat us they will receive a sleeve of 3 balls. At the end of the series of matches the pair with the best stableford points will play alongside myself and Ted in a regional Pro-am at no cost to the players. 

There is a list of dates in the changing rooms but if you would like to contact us with a date and time of your own then we will try our very best to squeeze it in to our diary's. Pairs can be made up of any combination and the matches will be played from the red and white tees.
