The Annual Business Meeting and Presentation will commence at 13:30 on Friday. We anticipate sitting down for lunch at around 14:15. We have 60 members attending the lunch, and so come early for a ring-side table!

The outgoing chairman Mike Bennett will be putting a bottle of red and white wine on each table. Mike retires from his role LGC Senior’s Chairman after his three-year stint.

John Armstrong is also stepping down following his three-year stint. We thank both Mike and John for their invaluable contribution to the committee and the smooth running of the senior section.

Autumn League, Round 2 of 10

Match Reporter: Paul Foster

Another fine and pleasant Autumnal day. Very little wind, full sun to blind us (a great excuse) and preferred lies on fairways (to those that hit them), does life get any better? Pity I didn’t play!

So, 33 players completed the 15 holes, 17 from Division 1 & 16 from Division 2.

To date after 2 rounds of the Autumn League, only 1 player has beat his handicap: Dave Meir.

One 2 was recorded: Dave Meir, at the 13th.

Upon entering the clubhouse to collect the stragglers half completed cards, I noted once again the tennis wine group, led by that old boy Art Laird, (celebrating his lofty finishing position today) were half way down a bottle of red wine accompanying their teacakes and chips. There’s always an invitation from Alan Ranscombe, Art, Gordon and Colin Lees to join them in the evening at the Sadlers pub in Lymm, although we will not see Art Laird until the new year, as he will be going to sample the wine in Portugal! Members…please be aware they are ridiculously happy people!

Division 1 Results:
Winner – Dave Meir with 31pts
R/up – Mike Pigott with 30 pts
3rd – Martin Franks with 29pts

Division 2 Results
Winner – Alan Copeland with 29pts on a cpo
R/up – Dave Craggs with 29 pts on a cpo
3rd – Art Laird with 29 pts

Early leader in the 1st division is Martin Franks at 2 over par, with 58 points, Dave Meir and Richard Smyllie complete the top three.

Leader in the 2nd division is Steve Bramall with 55 pts, closely followed by Alan Copeland, Barrie Smith and Art Laird.

Result of Happy Mondays game played on 14th October

A dry, chilly day with no wind and light clouds, breaking into weak sunshine by the end. The leaves are coming more into play now following the cooler weather but the ground staff are doing a good job of blowing and collecting.

Ground continues to be soft and mud balls are common.
