Hello golfers,

Welcome to another edition of your pro shop weekly newsletter with all the latest news and gossip from Wells Golf Club.

Jones Cup

The winner of the Seniors' Jones Cup was Nick Wilson who beat Bill McCollum on the 17th green in a close and tense Final where the wet conditions were challenging. 44 players had entered the knockout competition which began in April.

Wells Seniors vs. Mendip Spring

Wells Seniors enjoyed a particularly fine day for their match at Mendip Spring and came away with a splendid victory by three and a half to two and a half. Winning pairs were Bill McCollum and Ken Ford, George Davis and Nick Carter and Steve Rowse and Chris Strickland - the latter two in very emphatic style by 6&5 and 8&7 respectively. Glyn Hallett and Bill Carruthers secured the half to help clinch the team's win, a quite rare success on this rather lengthy and testing course.

Stragglers Team News

The Stragglers played Minehead and West Somerset at Wells. The first pairing of George Davis and Steve Porter set the team off to a good win of 2&1. The next pair of Terry Searle and Phil Kenworthy lost 2&1. Captain Terry Pearce and Paul Cullen whose opposition was far too serious lost. Ben Jones and Jon Mackness met a strong pairing as they also lost 4&3. Finally, the last pair of John Hockey and Bill Levell won 2&1. So the result was Wells 2 - 3 Minehead which means Minehead won overall 6&4.

Stragglers vs. Dawlish Warren

On Sunday the return match against Dawlish Warren was played in fine conditions and although preffered lies were in place the greens were at their usual very high standard.

First out was Grant Rogers and Jon Mackness who won 3&2, next was Richard Mansfield and returning Straggler Simon Elliot who slaughtered their opposition 6&4, next the twp Terry’s (Pearce and Searle) who lost 5&4. Richard Sheard and Rory Meek who won 1Up on the 18th, next was Philip Kenworthy and “Newbie” Scott Barrett who halved their match. Finally, Steve Porter and Paul Cullen won 3&2. Therefore the result of the match was 4.5 - 1.5 to Wells. The overall Home/Away score was a draw.

Well done all. Our next match is Sunday, 15 October which is the re-arranged match against Tall Pines.
