Painswick Golf Club - Quirky & Fun Or Not

The first meeting of the season took place in Gloucestershire at Painswick Golf Club on an unbelievably sunny spring day with breath-taking views. Without doubt the warm welcome that was given to the society by all the staff at Painswick Golf Club will be hard for other club to match.

Whilst I understand that the "Quality" of the greens may not be to the required standard of some of the membership, it did allow 20 of the South West Transport to meet up and have an enjoyable day. It is because these days are well supported that it allows us to play courses such as Castle Combe at a rate the Society can afford to subsidise.

The singles competition played over the back 9 was won by Paul Claridge scoring 23 points off a 19 Handicap which as he knows his handicap will be well and truly cut before his next outing, Steve Tottle was runner up with 22 points. He will lose 1 shot. Paul is now the winner of the Continental Cup.

Altogether, it was a successful day for Mr Tottle as he will be receiving a Dozen Tiltiest Pro V's for introducing a new member - Mr Leslie Baker. We wish Leslie a very warm welcome and look forward to seeing him at future meetings.

The Pairs Better Ball was won by Paul Claridge and John Watkins with a score of 48 Points. The Runners Up were Ade Meacham & Dave Buckland with 47 Points.

The Par 3 Competition has gotten underway and after 1 round John Watkins leads with a score of 12. Still plenty of mileage in this one before the end of the season

Our Next Meeting

PRESIDENTS DAY - THURSDAY 9 MAY 2019 - BREAM GOLD CLUB

Murray has supported this society for many years in fact more than I can recall and he has spent and still spends a great deal of time in ensuring that the society continues to flourish and remains an enjoyable day out for all. It is important that we show Murray that we appreciate his efforts by supporting him on his day and turning up to play his home course.
