UPDATE  18 June 2023

TWO WOODS COMPETITION

Entries for this years event was very low, only nine people played.  However it was a dry day after heavy overnight rain and Thunder storms, the benefit was that the speed of the green had slowed a little.

There were three "round robin" groups with Semi Final matches    Christine v Jim    and    Paul v Brian

CONGRATULATIONS to BRIAN and CHRISTINE  who will play the final during our finals weekend early in September

SINGLE DAY COMPETITIONS

Entry sheets for these events will be posted at the clubhouse a few weeks in advance of the competition date, and additionally a form is included below if you want to submit your entry "on line"  Entries should be submitted at least 5 days in advance of the event date to allow the coordinator time to plan the day. Whilst it will depend on the number of entries/ nature of the event it is hoped to structure all competitions to be played between 10.00 and 17.00 and ensure all entrants get a minimum of two games.  The final format will be decided once numbers are known and whilst these may vary indicative formats are given below for each event.
