 The
GSGB June Meeting was held at Bath (Sham Castle) and Kingsdown
Golf Clubs, two of the most attractive courses in the West Country. Eighty
three Members competed for the Scratch cups and handicap prizes, enjoying
glorious playing conditions on both days. The courses were playing firm and
fast due to the recent dry weather and the greens on both days were very good,
if not a little tricky, with their subtle (and sometimes not so subtle) undulations.
At Dinner we were joined by the Bath Captain Roger Williams and his partner Carol.
Roger received the £500 donation towards the Bath junior section from
GSGB Chairman Linda Hill who was very proud to welcome GSGB members to her home
club. We were grateful for the efforts of our Starters for the day, Linda's
husband Robert who is the club President and another of our members, Angie
Frith who was on the 8th Tee. The welcome from everyone at Bath and Kingsdown, particularly the Secretaries Nick, Neil and the
bar staff, could not have been better and a wonderful two days were enjoyed by
all.The
Scratch Trophy for men was successfully defended by David Archibald from East Herts with 62 points and the ladies Scratch Trophy was won
by Ruth Lindley from Hartlepool who scored 57 points. The best handicap
aggregate scores were recorded by Ian Norris from Henley, playing in his first
GSGB meeting, with 71 points and Kathryn Archibald from East Herts with 68. A full list of the prize winners can be seen
