Have we all had enough rain now? After a perfect June and July, we are all now paying the price as this August has been a wet one! I suppose the only good news is that the lake which started to drop considerably at the start of the summer is starting to fill back up so at the moment. I am crossing fingers, legs and anything else that I can cross so we can go back to having some sun! This weekend is the Bogey cup on the Parkland and I will try to keep the rules easy that even I can understand. Bogey competition is roughly matchplay against the course so you are trying to get as many plusses on your card rather than minuses. The best you can do on a hole is a plus and the worst is a minus. Please do try and keep a medal scorecard even though it is matchplay otherwise it make our job in the shop impossible to try and process your scorecard. Hopefully Conrad in the shop over the weekend (if he is in a good mood) will also try to help you fill your card in correct. The following week is a Texas scramble on the Greenwood course which is played in teams of 4 but don’t worry if there is only 3 as there is a way of also playing in this event where we work out your handicap slightly differently. Obviously over this weekend if there is anybody looking for a game where there other friends have gone on holiday, then please come up as there may be a chance to get a game with a team of 3 but remember peak times to play in this event is the normal Saturday and Sunday morning where you should have a good chance of getting into a team. The seniors had their Captains Charity Day on Monday and they were dodging the showers but scoring was very good. Chris Chard had 46pts and John Butler had 44pts, a couple of bandits there! Hopefully we will have some more news in next week’s newsletter to show you about this event. After reading this you probably are working out that Miles has not done this and he is sunning himself in Cornwall or practicing his surfing skills. Believe it or not I will probably be in a good mood as my beloved football team won on Sunday so I am almost happy for a day or so as long as they keep winning, you may even see me smile if you bribe me enough.
