Note from the Seniors Captain - Taking shots in the current climate.
Hi All,
I am aware that there have been a number of ‘near misses’ on the course from flying golf balls in recent weeks and members have advised me of their concerns. I have now heard of 3 such instances during our competitions and matches; these incidents can happy at any time , even in casual play.
Sadly, yesterday, in the Drawn Greensomes, a player was struck hard with a fast moving ball. Fortunately the damage, though not insignificant, was not serious.
Given the prevailing course conditions, it is clear that golf balls are travelling a lot further, and much faster for longer, than is normal.
I would therefore ask you to be extra vigilant when taking shots to protect fellow players from risk of harm.
Specifically:
* Give the group ahead much more space before playing – if there is any thought whatsoever that you may reach them, do not play!
* Ask your playing partners for guidance as to whether it is really safe to play. Consider letting shorter hitters play first - following the "honour" is not mandatory!
* Be prepared to tell your partner not to play if you think there may any risk at all
* The old ‘I didn’t think I could hit it that far’ excuse is not valid.
* Please take particular care when teeing off on holes 7 and 13 (if necessary, walk ahead to check all clear) and wait for the bell to have definitely been sounded on hole 14 (you can always ask the group coming down 13 to confirm it’s clear) - please ensure to ring the bell loudly on this hole when passing.
* If your ball is heading anywhere near another player, shout as loudly, and as soon as possible to warn them!
* Also, shout loudly if your ball is heading into an area where you cannot see clearly.
* If you feel there may be danger from another player’s shot, shout loudly even if they don’t.
I know that we cannot mitigate all risk on the golf course, but we should ensure that we minimise it.
If you have any thoughts / suggestions please let me know.
Thanks for your support on this matter.

Update from the Competition Secretary
1. Fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support
At our stage of life, most of us have, very sadly, had some contact with Cancer either directly or through family and friends.
I'm going to try and raise some funds for Macmillan Cancer Support by undertaking their Mighty Hike challenge on Saturday 12th September 2026.
This will be the full marathon distance of 26.2 miles through the Cotswolds, starting and finishing at Blenheim Palace.
Unfortunately, for a variety of reasons including a bad back, the excessive summer heat etc, I haven't done anywhere near enough training, so it's going to be a real challenge!
If you would like to support me and the fantastic work that Macmillan undertakes, and you are able to donate, please follow this link:
2. Seniors Order of Merit and Summer Six
We are right at 'the business end' of both these competitions.
With two events left to play, the extremely congested leaderboard for the Order of Merit, is as follows:

We are expecting an exciting conclusion to both competitions on Monday 21st September. Good luck to everyone in contention!

Please remember to sign your Scorecard.
