I hope that everyone is enjoying the Christian season. I know that one or two have picked up seasonal bugs unfortunately!

It’s a short newsletter this week. Not much to communicate, and not many of us have been the golf club to catch up on events.

Autumn League – Final Results

Most of the field did not turn out for round 8/8 last Friday, due to the very strong winds and rain. However, Martin Franks got 33 points, putting him in a three-way tie for top place in Division 1 with John Armstrong and Michael John on 161 points.

I believe that Martin Franks will be winner of the league on account of the fact that he had three ‘podium’ places, a 1st, a 2nd and a 3rd.

The Division 2 winner is Phil Ormesher with 156 points, Dave Craggs came second with 152 points, and Ron Thornton 3rd with 151 points.

Winter League

The Winter League will begin on 5th January. Discussions about handicaps for the Winter League are still ongoing, therefore the new handicap list is not available yet. It will be on this website by next Wednesday at the latest, and we will put a list on the Seniors’ noticeboard.

The division of handicaps for Division 1 and Division 2 will also be adjusted, to give more equal number of players in each division. The median handicap of the seniors has come down by about 2 shots in the past year. Again, this will be on this website before the Winter League starts.

Seniors’ Calendar for 2024

Thank you to our secretary Dave Craggs, who despite the holiday season has been busy finalising the 2024 calendar. You can download the calendar spreadsheet here on the Senior Section Calendar tab.

Lymm Golf Club Team Shirts

Please note that if you wish to play in the inter-club friendly matches next year, you will need a navy blue team shirt. John Armstrong has arranged next year’s fixtures, and he will be putting a sheet on the noticeboard to which you can append your name if you wish to be selected for the fixtures.

I think Steve has just a couple of shirts left in the Pro’s shop, one of which might be the size you require. If not, please tell Steve as soon as possible that you want to order a shirt. Steve needs to know there is a demand for the shirts before he can order the required minimum number for the next batch.

Similarly, if you already have shirt, that has got a bit faded or tatty over the years, and would like a new one for next season, please tell Steve as soon as you can.
