News

July 2 - Open Tee Times published Good Luck !
June 23 - Good causes
Firstly, John Hanley bought a 4-ball breakfast/golf with football celeb/lunch & prizes at the League Managers' Association golf day at The Grove in England on 29th September at the Le Tournoi auction. Unfortunately he can no longer attend - anyone interested should contact Jon direct. Details here. John is hoping to recoup his £2000 outlay...
Eery overtones of Tommy's auction ability there.
Secondly, the Splash for Cash will be taking place on Bank Holiday Monday 31st August at Les Mielles. The entry price is £100 per four ball, and a BBQ will be taking place at Rocco's in the evening.
A good cause, and a chance to be reunited with lost balls.
June 18 - St Peter's Village Fete
The Society is running a putting competition at St Peter’s village fete this Saturday 27th. The stall will be open from 11 am to 5 pm. Come along and say hello, and if you can spare an hour to help manning the stall it will be much appreciated.
June 11th - Bigger Come Back than Take That!!
Tommy "I'm back on it" Noel grabbed a half from an almost invincible position, needing a four foot putt to put the game to bed on the 6th for a
4 & 3 win he somehow let it all slip and had to settle for a half after losing 4 holes on the spin.
Rumours of a tour hangover were heard at the bar!
UPDATE - Tommy took it a step further by deliberately running his own clubs over in disgust. Technical fault, abuse of equipment.
2009 Tour Results - King Roy Syvret at a canter !
The 2009 St Peter's tour result is in - and Roy Syvret dominated a brilliantly enjoyable tour from start to finish.
Roy won both day 1 and day 2, and then still came in with 36 points on the final day to seal his victory, Richard Taylor winning with a tour high 39 points. Roy's scores were 38-34-36, coincidentally his vital measurements.
Speculation was rife that Roy might falter under the pressure of holding his place on the final day (including the many of us who had backed Roy G !), but a birdie on the first soon put that thought to rest.
Roy Gallichan was second 12 points back on 96 pts, with Stuart Hall third on 95 and and Dan Hare fourth on 92.
Roy Gallichan's team came first, 10 points ahead of Alan Cabot's team for an emphatic victory.
Well done everyone, and thanks go to those who made it happen including the mystery bookie. Knowing that he would take a bath if our esteemed Vice Captain were to win may have been an additional incentive...
Full results up are on the tour pages.
Best tour quote - Michael Fitzgerald at Southampton Golf Club "oh yes she has". Since this is a family website, regrettably the rest of the anecdote cannot be included.
Blackhorse Offshore May Order of Merit results
Nigel Johnson shot 2 Birdies and an Eagle to claim the May Order of Merit with 22 pts off 6 shots by a point from Gary Bayley with 21 pts (8).
Nigel also won lowest scratch score (36) and has taken the lead in the Order of Merit. On a positive note, he has been cut 2 shots just before the tour which gave consolation to the non winners.
In all the 54 entries racked up 21 birdies, impressive given that many of the rounds were played in blustery conditions.
Graeme A'Court won the silver tray with 9 points.
The scoring and presentation was made at St Peter's Football club following the annual FA Cup dinner.
Despite being more than adequately refreshed, Martin Paton was still able to spot that Tommy Noel had not dated his card. The Committee was given no choice but to disqualify Tommy, forfeiting his 6th place.
Tommy really should have known better, but can be reassured that his handicap has still been cut for the Tour starting June 4th.
