Our secretary, ‘Craggzy’, is preparing for Christmas. Having an impressive head of white hair, the good folk of Stockton Heath have asked him to grow a long beard in readiness for the forthcoming community events.

Back at Lymm Golf Club, Dave has proposed a raffle for our Christmas lunch on Friday 13th. We had some good fun with the raffle last year, and raised some money for a worthy cause. Thank you to those who donated prizes for the raffle.

The largesse of Santa has limits. Therefore, any donation of a prize for the raffle will be much appreciated. Please contact Dave Craggs, or simply turn up on the day with your offering. I’ll publish more details in next week’s newsletter.

If you are coming to the Christmas, lunch, please make sure that there is at least £18 on your card. The catering and bar staff will be very busy, and we don’t want to burden them on the day with having to ask us to come to the bar to top up our account.

Turkey Trot

As promised last week, the full results were published on the main LGC website, taken from our inputs to the I.G. app. See here.

As luck would have it, following a couple of days of dryer weather, 15 holes were open. Here are the leading scores by division:

1st Division
Winner – Richard Smyllie 35pts
R/up – Ian Whitehead 35pts
3rd – Paddy Moran 33pts

2nd Division
Winner Alan Copeland 35pts

Tee-booking schedule for tomorrow – Thursday 5th December

Happy Mondays – 2nd December

Reporter: Peter Willson

It wasn’t a particularly Happy Monday morning – the light rain was pretty continuous and it was cold. Three intrepid player were seen venturing up the muddy path to the 10th tee early doors, but the remaining 3 participants in the car park looked at the weather and decided to make a retreat home.  

Please note – I’m not issuing a draw for the next 2 weeks – 23rd and 30th December – as most players will have other tasks to perform and entertain themselves. 

Next draw for the 6th January 2025 will be issued in due course.
