Results from 11th September

Firstly congratulations to Kim who made a hole in one on the 17th. He is the seventh person to achieve it in the Modern Swindle. This is the Hole in One dance by the way, not to be confused with the birdie dance.

Second: David Sommelier Reynolds, 41 pints, sorry points, and £14

Third: The Brynmeister, 40 points, £7

Front 9: Dave Clarke, 21 points, £5. bet he's feeling Glad All Over. (groan)

Back 9: Jeff Titman, 20 points, £5

LEADERBOARDS

Some minor changes this week in RED and BLUE . After so many rounds played it is getting more difficult to impact significantly the  average Stableford scores. 

Finally, John Cullen has received an appreciative note from BGL senior management thanking the Swindle for the money raised at the Andlaw Trophy day this year.

Results from the 4th September

Hall Trophy

Congratulations to Geoff Tithecott (4&2 winner over Jeff Titman) and Iain Pritchard (3&2 winner over Don Dobbs) and thereby moving into the Semi Finals were Andy Wyatt and Tom Walters are lurking.

Iain doubled up on the day by winning £22 for his 1st place 44pts and chipped in on the 18th just because he could. A 4 shot cut to accompany his win seems like bad timing for the Hall Trophy SF.

Gus had his best round of the year with 42pts alongside the fast improving Dave Clarke - £10 each. Geoff Tithecott picked up £5 for his 4th place 41pts.

The high scores continue to dominate - commiserations to Eugene who scored a 4 over par 76 (40pts) and won nuffin!

Front 9 Peter Miller 24pts and back 9 Alex Hall 22pts (£5 each)

John the Web meister Martin will update the Red / Blue Division tables on his return from hols. It looks like Geoff Tithecott may have ousted Steve Mummery from 3rd place in the Blue Division. 

Results from Team Comp 28th August 2024

Best Stableford: Paul Mathews, The Boss, John O'Cullen, 39 points, £2 each

LEADERBOARDS

Paul Mathews has been steadily climbing the RED Leaderboard and with this round has finally displaced Mark Whittington who had held top spot for nearly the whole year. PBI is lurking in 3rd place ready to pounce.

In BLUE, Stuart Insall continues to chip away at Tom's lead but Tom is maintaining his consistent scores and it is tough going.

Hall Trophy

Don Dobbs beat Eugene 6 & 5

Andlaw Trophy 2024 Result

 Thankyou to Captains and organisers John Cullen and Keith Martin who gave us a great day's golf in lovely weather. This year it was a very one sided result with the MODs beating Rockers by 12 1/2 to 6 1/2,   but the important thing is that it was a lot of fun and  the total raised yesterday (with less players than last year) topped out at £277, which surpasses last year’s event with fewer players, a fantastic effort. Money raised will be divided between Prostate and Pancreatic Cancer charities.

Sleeves of balls (2 dozen generously supplied by Kelvin) were given out to MODs  Stuart, Dom and David Reynolds and to Rocker Paul Matthews for their attire.

Although not everyone putted out and counted score Don and Paul M received a sleeve each for 44 points.

Sadly the event was soured somewhat in the evening when scuffles broke out after the Rockers' Captain  claimed the result had been 'stolen'. Brian attempted to intervene but much of the patio furniture got ruined.
