The first Seniors Alliance of the year took place on Tuesday at Ventnor with Freshwater getting off to a good start in defence of the Shield. Keith Kimber won the Gaile Cup with 37 points and Peter Scott secured 3rd with a score of 33 points.
The ever popular ‘Irons Only’ event took place on Sunday. Thirty one players took the woods out the bag and the scores as always in this event were truly impressive. Robbie Faulkner won the event with a staggering 44 points. Rick Penn and Dave Wright both scored 39 points with Rick securing 2nd spot due to his better back 9. 4th spot was Barry Crook with 38 points.
The Saturday Stableford Division 1 was won by Dean Capel with 40 points. Derek Wright scored a level par round to gain 2nd with 39, beating Steven Cooke into 3rd who also scored 39. In Division 2 Gary Cooke matched his son, also scoring 39 to gain 3rd. The captains curse of playing badly is yet to strike Steve Sargeant as he secured 2nd with 40 points. John Riddelsdell scored the best round of the day with a score of 42 points.

Super 7's!!!
On Sunday (27/3/2011) Freshwater Bay played away to Newport in the 1st Round of the County Sevens. Derek Wright, our County 7s Captain was in the first match out and the last to finish in what turned out to be the deciding result. After a titanic battle he finally triumphed on the 25th hole to secure us a 4-3 win. Well done to all the team, and good luck in the next round.

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.

News - Direct from the desk of the Club Secretary
We are really into the swing of the new golf season and the clocks haven’t even changed yet.
Upcoming events include
Saturday March 19th RACE NIGHT
1st Race will be getting underway at around 19.45 with 8 races in all before the auctioned race at the end of the evening. We still have a few horses left to sell (only £2 each) so if you are coming along for the evening then please let the bar know if you would like to buy one.
Thursday March 31st SUMMER COMPETITION CLOSING DATE
This is the 1st deliberate mistake that I have got away with! No one noticed the Monday 31st date on the entry form. If anyone requires a form they are available on the Members Notice Board.
Saturday April 2nd SUMMER COMPETITION DRAW
Friday April 1st The 1st Fristab of the year
This really does mean summer is coming. The format is a 10 hole stableford with an entry
fee of £3 which also covers your 1st drink
Friday April 1st RITA’S ‘RECENT’ QUIZ
This one is worrying me slightly, it being held on April Fool’s Day! For those of you yet to attend one of Rita’s quizzes let me assure you that they are the most up to date questions that money can buy.
SUNDAY April 3rd MOTHERING SUNDAY LUNCHEON INCLUDING MUSIC FROM THE SLIPSHOD SINGERS
The menu looks very appetizing and with the added attraction of the melodic voice of the Senior Captain and his friends to listen to I would suggest to book early as numbers will be limited.
Friday 8th April BINGO NIGHT
Dave McArthur is in Thailand at the moment on a bingo callers course and so should be in tip top form for this. For those of you who like to do 5 cards at once be warned, he is going to be quick!
RESULTS
Tuesday 15th March
Congratulations to Miles Oldershaw and Di Clark who were victorious in the Ladies and Senior Greensome. Their score of 37 points was one better than Mike Dowsett and Jackie Evitts with Ray Cooke and Rita Smith taking 3rd spot with 35 points. I am not sure what inspired the turnaround in the Seniors Captain and the Lady Captain, but after only managing a miserly 8 points on the front 9 Paddy Hodgson and Jan Godden accumulated a very impressive 23 points on the back 9.
Sunday 13th March
Division 1 The Sunday Stableford gave the impression of being a Junior Old Boys benefit with 4 of the top 5 places going to players to have represented the junior team in the last 3 years. First was Steven Cooke with a very impressive 42 points playing off 7 handicap. Adam Keen kept up his good form to record 41 points with Kasey Tuckey taking 3rd on 40 points. Just out the prizes but definitely worth a mention was Nick Punter in 4th place on 38 points. Playing off a 12 handicap Nick played the back 9 holes in 1 under par gross to amass 25 points.
Division 2 Ian Sinclair, playing in his first ever qualifier, took the honours with 41 points and saw his newly acquired handicap of 15 get cut straight away to 14. The 2nd and 3rd spots saw a titanic struggle between the captain and his vice captain, who were playing together. In the end the more experienced Ray Cooke prevailed with 38 points with Steve Sargeant one adrift on 37 points.
AND FINALLY
Just a gentle reminder that the yearly subscriptions are due on the 1st April. For those of you who are planning to pay by Standing Order but have not yet returned their forms could I ask that you get them to me ASAP as I then have time to forward them onto your bank before the 1st
AND DEFINITELY FINALLY
The Captains Committee have asked me to have a regular clear out of the Men’s Locker Room. The first of these will be taking place on Monday Morning so could I please ask that any items of clothes, footwear etc are removed before then.
