Hole-in-One: Rolfe Heldt scored the club’s first hole-in-one since October 2018 – many congratulations, Rolfe!! His tee-shot on the Old Course’s 2^nd hole was close to the pin but its sinking was unobserved until the players reached the green.  The previous hole-in-one was by Spencer Percival on 8 October 2018 on the Tuart 3^rd hole.  Prior to that, we had a run of 3 holes-in-one in April-May 2017, with Mike Spencer on the Tuart 9^th (now 18^th), Garth Irvine on the Tuart 15^th (now 6^th) and Terry Morgan on the Old 6th hole.  Rolfe’s score for the 18 holes on the Old Course is equal to the club’s record round claimed by Derek Alton on 19 Sept 2003, with 74 on the Old Course when the par was 73.  Tony Fisk scored 74 on the Old on 13 February 2023 and there have been several other scores of 75 and 76 in recent years, but congratulations to Rolfe on a great round.  The photo below is Rolfe being congratulated by club captain Tom McClain, and his scorecard is attached.

                                                                                                 4- club event
Conditions      Sunny                        Players                20 members
The competition for the Gerry Gillett 4-Club stableford Trophy was played in pleasant if windy conditions on Friday 8 December 2023 on the Tuart Course.  Generally scores were a bit lower than with a full bag of clubs in normal competitions but there were few complaints about the choice of clubs from members after the golf.  Ian Johnsen (35 points) was the winner by 2 points from Tom McClain with three other members close behind on 32 points David Lynn, Ric Haddleton and Steve Huckle.
