Folksworth Golf Society

 
Folklore Magazine Spring 2008
 

There is not too much to report on since Christmas as we have only held one competition since then. That was in February, following a break during the cold rainy season and was an individual stableford scoring game with a twist. Each player had to choose two holes of their choice before going out, the stableford points scored on those holes would be doubled and a further third hole, where the points would be trebled. Of the ten starters, Gordon Thompson finished on top with 39 points, followed by Graham Lewis on 36 and third was Pete Bonney on 35. Nearest the Pin winner on the 9th hole was Graham Hewett, the Society captain, with big Sam Hooley winning the nearest the Pin with the second shot on the 18th, that was following his drive which almost finished on the green.

The Captain versus Vice Captain competition was cancelled on the 16th March due to heavy rain and will be played hopefully before the end of March, before we start a new Society Season.

The first Competition is the Steve Hall sponsored Carpentry and Building Services Spring Shield. This will be at Orton Meadows on Sunday 13th April 2008, 8:28am first tee, 8 tees booked.

This is the time of year when members renew their membership and hopefully more golfers are interested and join the Society. If you are interested, and I know there are a lot of golfers in the village who have shown an interest, then please get in touch. I am sure you will even be able to play in the April competition, but let me know early.

There has been a challenge thrown down by Brian Draper. He will get a number of golfers in the village who are not currently members to take on some members from the Society. This has provisionally been booked for June to be played at Elton Furze Golf Club.

That’s about it. All forthcoming fixtures, reports etc will be entered onto the Society Website http://golf.tee.uk.net or contact myself.
