News from the Bay - Marching into Summer??

Congratulations to the Lady Mail on Sunday Team who have now progressed to the 4th Round after travelling to Barton-on-Sea on Monday and gaining a comfortable win.

The team of Liz Morris, Sammi Keen, Susan Keen, Janet Hurd & Anne Smith did not lose a game between them which is a great achievement considering they were away from home.


In the Daily Mail Foursomes the Freshwater Bay duo of Joan Martin & Paula Burke are also progressing well, gaining a fine win away at Ryde.


The EWGA Medal on Thursday produced some very good golf. Sammi Keen won the Silver Division with a 68.In the bronze division Jan Smith & Rita Smith both scored 69s, with Jan picking up the prize due to her better back 9. It was a good day for the Smiths with Anne coming 3rd with 70.

Due to the idyllic conditions there has been some very low scoring amongst the men.

In the 1st Division of the Par Competition on Saturday Richard Frosts plus 4 was only good enough for 3rd place. 2nd was Dean Capel with plus 5 and Nick Riby scored a brilliant plus 6 to win. The 2nd Division was won by Malc Williams on plus 5, Jack Ince was 2nd with plus 3 and John Sexton took 3rd with plus 2.

The Sunday Stableford saw equally impressive winning scores. In Division 1 Kasey Tuckey shot a 1 under par gross score of 68 which gained him 43 points. Stuart Morris scored 41 points for 2nd spot and Ian Ball was 3rd with 39 points. Division 2 was won by Simon Fisher with 43 points with Barry Finch keeping up his good run of form coming 2nd on 37 and Keith Kimber 3rd on 36 points.


RACE NIGHTA big thank you to John Sexton for organizing a very successful night, and to both Sarah & John for being the bookies. I think the Captain’s wife, Gladys, must have bribed John early on in the evening as she seemed to have winnings to pick up after nearly every race! She even won the last auctioned race of the night with her husband only managing a miserly 3rd place finish.
