Gentlemen,
Stuart certainly turned on tremendous conditions for us last Saturday and it showed with some of the fine scores that came in on the first Round of the Stuart Clarke Memorial.
This week will be the 2nd anniversary of Stuart’s passing and as has the traditional was started last year, everyone MUST turn up in a Hawaiian shirt or something outlandish. No doubt, prior to us hitting off, he will be looking down upon us all and thinking “you blokes are shockers in that get up, no one carries off a Hawaiian shirt like me” – and he will be right… No doubt he will make it piss with rain this one so he can laugh at us all…
Prior to the first group teeing off (aka – the blokes cooking the BBQ), we will all observe a minutes silence in his honour and no doubt consume many beers and snags (not you Tomp) after the round and reminisce about the great man. So it would be greatly appreciated if everyone playing could hang around for 30mins to enjoy the BBQ and remember my, everybody’s great mate – STUART CLARKE.
Pres
Perfect sunshine, loads of roll on the fairways, perfect tees and greens, championship points on offer. Great turnout for this our first round of The Stuart Clarke Memorial Trophy, some good scores, a few shockers. Majors will always reward consistency.
Our first round leader Stefan Belevski continues to impress, with 39 stableford points today, and regular top 5 placings. This talented young gopher continues to take space on this blog, partly for his on course accomplishments, but really… He’s just so damn photogenic! Go fer it Stephan.
With double championship points up for grabs in both tournaments, the field is nicely placed to heat up the tables. The first eleven heading into this Saturdays second round are all within 6 points! Good luck to all in the hunt, and pray the BBQ isn’t overcooked.
Matchplay Results:
Bill Eastoe def Malcolm Adey 3 & 2
Ken Grist def David Rees 2 & 1
Mo Sabih def Andrew Blight 4 & 3
Congratulations to those who made it through, and all the best in the second round.
Ball hole winner was David Howard, and the cash went to S. Butterfield
