Club Competitions

Each year, the club celebrates the end of the winter leagues with a winter innings; a stableford competition played off white tees. Players coming off the course showed no semblance of having been to a celebration. Most looked as they had been in a battle. The weather on the day was wet and windy. The winner was Neil Thomas with 34 pts, followed by Austin Davies and Vernon Phillips with 33. The Spring Cup is a 36-hole competition played over two days. This year's winner was Paul Walkey with a net 142, including a first round score of 68. Paul beat Steve House by 11 shots (153). Austin Davies was just one behind on 153.

Seniors

The Seniors were a little luckier with the weather this week, inasmuch as they didn't get wet. On Tuesday, they played the Millennium Trophy, which has a 14-hole competition for Veterans included. Des Edwards won this with 27 pts and was followed by Dave Evans and Jim Boyd. In future years we shall be demanding to see handicap certificates and birth certificates. The performance of the day was Larry Jones with 39 points. Nearest to him were Mal Roberts (35) and Mike Harries (34) On Thursday, Rosemarket Seniors were our visitors. There was a good deal of confusion beforehand (we expect no less of the Seniors). The match itself was excellent. Highlight for Bill Jenkins was receiving a phone call on the 17th green informing him of the birth of a grandchild. Up to that point Bill was beginning to tire in the windy conditions. However, he developed a new spring in his step. Derek Goodridge took some satisfaction in his victory over son-in-law Bob Wilson. The closest game of the day was a half between Jim Boyd with Dave Evans against Rosemarket's Graham Thomas and Geoff Rosser. We would like to thank Kate in the restaurant who dealt with the confusion brilliantly. April looks like a busy month for the Seniors. Notices are on the board for the Summer League, Tenby, The Gower and Newport. A full club fixture list is on the website at http://www.southpembsgolf.co.uk">www.southpembsgolf.co.uk
