Seniors Christmas Dinner - 4th December 2018

I have to say the ladies done well to get all of you old codgers washed and brushed up to look as good as you did.

The clubhouse bar was buzzing with expectation before the meal.

Marcos did not let us down, the meal was excellent and the service to match, so well done the kitchen.

Joe and her staff kept the drink flowing, well done everybody behind the bar.

The evening flew by for me with good company at my table. I hope our guests enjoyed the evening as much as I did.

I had the pleasure of presenting Hayley Coomber, my Guest from my charity (MIND) a cheque for £2954 pounds Thank you lads.

Her comment as she was leaving was that she did not expect to enjoy herself as much as she did as she thought it would have been a bit formal being a golf club dinner.

A special well done to all those who collected their trophies for the year and a big thank you to Captain Stuart for keeping up with me as I dragged him back and forward for the photo shoots. Thank you Algy for your sterling work behind the camera its much appreciated.

I have spoken to all our guests since the dinner and they congratulated us in giving them a great night so well done Seniors.

Well I think I have said enough so with that I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Best wishes from Captain Jim Jock and Vicky.

We were very fortunate to have  good weather  for the day, and hopefully you all enjoyed the meal and the Auction. The total raised was a fantastic £3,631.00

We had  76 members and guests registered to play.  I’m sure we all appreciate the help provided on the day at registration and during the day by the following ladies  Jean Peacock, Barbara Stokes, Jill Smith and Pauline Aubigne. We would also like to thank the club and the staff for supporting the event.

Below are the nearest the pin winners 

              








Seniors Two Clubs and a Putter - 16th October 2019

The 2 clubs and a putter comp struggles for numbers there was 43 reported in for the competition, but only 40 results.

Personally I like this competition as only having 2 playing clubs your expectations are low.

There were some good scores in, particularly Derek Weller winning with 37 points.

 Neil Pinnington came in second with 33 points.

 Third place was hard fought for with 7 players coming in with 32 points.

David Lincoln got third place on count back.

The weather was good but the course is struggling, I just hope the hot summer has not done any lasting damage and we can have our courses back to their excellent best for next season.

Nearest the pin was won by Neil Pinnington.

He was not keen on my suggestion that you only take one prize or is that just for raffles. Well done Neil.

 

Jim Kerr, Seniors Captain

Seniors Autumn Stableford - 9th October 2018

High summer returned in mid-October for our Autumn Stableford and it drew 79 entrants (eventually!!) but only 76 returned scores. Two withdrawn injured and one disqualified for not signing his card - I did look for him when I saw that but he'd gone. The Rules of Golf are fiercely applied to all. It's a cruel game! In fact only one player bettered par and only two others matched it. CSS went to 74 (SSS 71). Steve Collins (36) had 17 on the back 9 to snatch 3rd place from Alan Anderson (19 on the back 9) who had to settle for 2nd! David Lincoln could just be seen in the far distance with 39 points and he won the trophy for 2018. Well done David!

Winner - David Lincoln

Third - Steve Collins

Nearest the Pin? Well, thereby hangs a tale! The nearest I heard was Derek Weller with (varying reports) 12 to 24 inches. Sadly for those playing the course from the 1st the marker was brought in by the last group playing from the 10th - the accomplices being as guilty as the perpetrator so, no names no packdrill, eh? It's such a shame because, whilst I'm sure my partner Alan Curtis's ball was only a micron away, mine was actually atop the flagstick so I should have won, and Mr Jarman was definitely nearest the green in our group.

I don't want to 'Bullen' anybody but it might be a 'Smart' move if the guilty parties were to club together and buy Mr Weller a bottle of wine to have 'Whit his Bread'.

Never a dull moment with this crowd!

Gordon Percival Team Trophy and Martin Ives Shield - 2nd October 2018

"You've got to be in it to win it!" someone once said. It might have been David Gauge.

Today saw the 2018 playing of the Gordon Percival Team Trophy where players score a singles stableford card but that score counts towards a team of three total where the team members are not revealed until everyone is on the course. That requires a number of players that is divisible by 3 and, until this morning, barring some late replacements we had that. But Paul Stallard must have indulged in some late night contortions and twisted his knee badly and so had to withdraw this morning.

 

Already in the clubhouse but not yet in the line up was one David Gauge - his name may be familiar to some of you. David kindly stepped in and, with his team Alan Kirkham and Michael Tomblin, scored 112 points to win the Gordon Percival Trophy. Well done all! John Hazelwood, Alan Anderson and John Sandland (team 107 points) were in 2nd place with Lawrence Wilson, Richard Westergreen-Thorne and Fred Williams 3rd with 104 points.

 

STOP PRESS: Oh no they weren't!! A subsequent check has shown that, with 105 points (not 95 as shown on the manual score sheet), in third place were the team of Graham Court, Derek Weller and Anthony McLean. Apologies to those three for missing a photo opportunity and commiserations to Lawrence, Richard and Fred who, clearly, were nowhere near as good as they thought they were!!!! (All other scores were correct!)

But today was also the first playing of the Martin Ives Shield for the player with the best singles stableford score. If this had been the main competition today, the third place prize would have been awarded to one David Gauge, with 40 points, beating Richard Westergreen-Thorne into 4th place on countback with 21 points over the back 9 against Richard's 20. In second place was a man who seems to have found his form again, Bill Walker on 41 points. But he was beaten to the Martin Ives Shield by John Sandland with 42 points. No less than 12 players beat the buffer zone and received a handicap cut. 

Last but not least, the Nearest the Pin on the 8th hole was won by ........ WHAT? HIM AGAIN? ....... David Gauge.

 

Well done David! Have you entered next week's competition?

Bailiff Shield - 26th September 2019

Always the bridesmaid? I don't think so! But on this occasion Rob Anderson (38 points) was kept waiting from the completion of his round in the first group out, only to be beaten to the altar of happiness by Jonathan Lean (42 points) playing in the antepenultimate group, nearly an hour and half later! Playing in the penultimate group was Derek Weller (37 points), but by then the groom and best man had already been decided. I can see it now next Spring in our 4BBB competition, Rob Anderson paired with Jonathan Lean as our very own Molliwood team! Feel the love? Not if I can help it!!!!! My memory may fail me but - did Jonathan also win the nearest the pin? That's just greedy!

Away Match v Letchworth - 24th September 2019

This was our last match and I have to say one I look forward to as I only live a couple of miles from the club, I know a few of the members well, so the banter is usually revved up a notch.

Brian Bullen was my partner and organiser and Brian is the same as me in that he knows a lot of the members so it was good fun.

We had a perfect day for golf, Brian and I played perfect ham and egg golf. The Captain of Letchworth was a friend of both of us but I am not so sure now as Brian was sinking 20 foot putts to win or half and I did my little bit as well.

I would like to say that was how it went for the rest of the team but alas it was not to be we lost the match 5 to 3 but again we won our home game 4.1/2  to 3.1/2 when this was mentioned it was pointed out that the margin of victory was greater for them; who said these matches are not competitive.

Well lads that is it for the year as far as the matches go. I hope all of you who played in the matches had as much fun as I had, bad jokes an all..

Captain Jim Jock.

Away Match v South Beds - 19th September 2019

The match for South Beds is our latest starting time 12 o clock noon we seem to have mixed feelings about this, personally I am happy with this time. We get up at a sensible time on some occasions I was up at 5 am to get to some courses this was a nice don't need to hurry start to the day.

We had bacon rolls with our coffee waiting for us when we arrived we had a 2 tee start that got us back in at a sensible time and sat down to a lovely carvery, very civilised.

My partner and organiser was Nick Seeley who played most of the game on his own while I went off to check on the flora and the condition of the trees when asked what I scored I said lost 3 balls found 6 so I am claiming a victory.

We played a nice couple of friendly guys Captain Terry and organiser Ron who I met on the tees and some greens but all in all a very enjoyable day.

They have had their clubhouse revamped and a nice job they have made of it.

Unfortunately the late start  must have put the rest of the team out of sorts as the result was 5.1/2 to 2.1/2 to them.

Only one match to go.

Keep swinging Captain Jim Jock.

Away Match v Leighton Buzzard - 17th September 2019

Weather was good not to warm not to cold but most important dry.

My organiser and partner for the day was Gerry Degaute. We had a really good round of golf but met a better pair on the day. The course is a very interesting mix of holes and worth playing if you get the chance.

The best part is the balcony over looking the 18th green were the tail enders have to run the gauntlet of abuse on the greens and on one occasion in the bunker. The food was good the company good and the banter good.

Unfortunately we lost the match 5.1/2 to 2.1/2  but claimed a moral victory by reminding them we won 6.1/2 to 1.1/2 at home. Not very sporting of me I know but there you go nobody likes a loser.

Keep swinging we are nearly there only 2 matches left.

Captain Jim Jock.

Away Matcch v Gog Magog - 14th September 2019

This was my second visit in 2 days to the Gog Magog club and my 4th game of the week.

My 1st visit was an inter club match and we played the Wandersbury Course. I have to say the fairways looked really well considering the weather we have had. I was told that they get more rain fall than us. Something to do with the Chiltern Hills and other geographical conditions all to complicated for me all I know is that if you want rain try Scotland.

My partner and organiser for the match was Ken Doggrell. Ken hired a buggy and believe me I was glad to take up his offer to share so thank you Ken.

Ken and I had a lovely round with the usual peaks and troughs that seem to be part of seniors golf rounds. We got off to a bad start as the opposition chipped in on the first hole to take the hole and we both lost our balls in the quarry on the second hole so 2 down and never really recovered from there.

The weather threatened but stayed dry. 

We had the usual excellent quality of food with a huge bowl of trifle that was passed round the table.

The banter was up to expectations and we had the usual bad jokes at the end.

I am glad to say we came away with a 4/12 to 3/12 win. Well done lads..

Captain Jim Jock

SENIORS AWAY DAY 2018 - 12th September Kettering Golf Club

This was the fourth running of the Seniors Away Day and 40 of us attended Kettering Golf Club for a full English Breakfast and 18 holes of golf. The weather was very good and the course in good condition considering the dry summer we have had.

 

Kettering Golf Club is not the easiest place to find, and a number of us got lost. However, everybody made their tee time.

 

We had nearest the pin on the 5 par 3’s and 1^st, 2^nd, 3^rd and last for prizes. I believe everybody had a good time and we were made very welcome by Kettering.

 

The winner was Jim McIlwaine with 36 points and wins the Jim Peacock Away Day Shield. Second was Dave Wood with 35 and 3^rd Keith Fuller with 34.

 

Last was Geoff Beck with ? and nearest the pin winners were Peter Imray, Gerry Gentle, Bernard Gurney, Derek Young and Jim Peacock.

 

Next year we will be at Market Harborough Golf Club on Thursday 12^th September and the cost will be £35.

 

I look forward to seeing you all next year.

Home Match v Beds & County - 11th September 2018

It was a blustery day at the JOG when the opposition arrived with a strong team of low-mid handicap and a sprinkling of high handicappers all with a glint in the eye looking for revenge!

Just like the OK Corral.

The game as it panned out was of give and take, which showed as the pairs came in. Win 2, Lose 2, Win 2, Lose 1. It all came down to the last pair who apparently were 3 down at one point but came in with a creditable DRAW.

Afterwards we all enjoyed a beer in the bar, an exceptional dinner and sweet and a lot of banter.

Captain Jim left the score to Captain David to announce a JOG WIN 4.1/2 to 3.1/2.

 

WELL PLAYED LADS

Report from John Ellary - Organiser

Senior Section Captain's Day - 28th August 2018

Captains Day had its moments.

David Gauge our Vice captain and organiser for the day had his work cut out as he had to deal with absentees prior to the day. I was on holiday for the fortnight, Michael was on holiday and came back the morning of the day and Simon is off ill. To top it all the day before was a bank holiday Monday and nobody could be reached so Tuesday morning was hectic to say the least. My thanks goes out to our ladies Captain Sue who mustered 5 of her ladies to hand out the cards and sell the raffle tickets, starters on the tee's and the putting competition  Well done Ladies..

I had the honour of playing with the club Captain Stuart Gardner and Bill Burrows. We had a really nice day great company but not so good golf. The weather stayed dry and the course was as good as it could be with the recent weather leaving its mark. 

I had a lovely surprise when I came in to the dining room, Ladies Captain Sue had a lovely cake waiting for me and a wee bottle of whisky in a tartan box along with a card showing a train a Spitfire and Hurricane fighter planes and an MG sports car.

What I didn't know that the train was the Flying Scotsman which was the whole point of the card.my profound apologies Sue for being a thick Jock but much appreciated the gesture.

We had several skill prizes 4 nearest the pins and the putting competition.

The nearest the pin winners were Pat Gilgallon on the 4th, John Sandland on the 10th, 

Fred Cox on the 16th This one was very close. Jim McIlwaine on the 11th with the nearest the pin in 2. Last but not least the evergreen Mr Allan Fowler took the putting competition with 19 points. For the main competition the top three were;-

.

In 3rd place was Graham Lewis (above) with 40 points and cut 1.8

 

Second place was Grahame Berry (above) also with 40 points and cut 2.0

 

The winner on the day was Brian Bullen (above)  with an astounding 43 points .cut 2.4.

Brian gave a very complex reason for his mystical return to form, it had something to do with being hit by a tuk-tuk, I think that is a foreign tricycle taxi and a physio with magic hands. All I can say is that I am looking for the same magic at the match with Letchworth when he is my partner. Well done Brian and all the other winners.

All in all I had a great day and hope you all did to.

Your Captain

Jim Jock.

Away Match v Harpenden Common - 16th August 2018

When I left Biggleswade at 06.45am the weather was cloudy but looked good for a round of golf. This was the case until I hit the outskirts of Harpenden when the odd spot of rain fell onto the windscreen. By the time I reached the golf course it was a slight drizzle, but nothing to worry about, so the team assembled for coffee and the introductions.

When we left the clubhouse to prepare for our three tee start the rain had got a little heavier and was by now proper rain which required full waterproof clothing.

I was playing with Gerry Degaute and started on the first, which we halved in gross four. That was a good as it got.

Thereafter the rain got heavier, our score got worse and apart from the company it was turning into a pretty miserable day.

Some of the team acted sensibly and called it a day after nine holes settling for a half. The rest of us were getting wet and beaten. That is of course with one notable exception. Neil Pinnington was thriving in the conditions and wrapped his match up 13 I think.

Anyway after a hot shower and a hearty meat pie the day was looking much better, that was until I had to announce the result which was a 5 ½ to 2 ½ victory to Harpenden Common.

Home Match v Dunstable Downs - 14th August 2018

Still smarting from the whitewash we received at Dunstable it was with a certain amount of trepidation that we gathered in the clubhouse in preparation to greet our visitors.

They arrived on time, we offered coffee, with biscuits, had a quick chat, went through the introductory formalities and then got ready for the off. Starting on the Carthegena first tee both Brian and I, as well as their organiser, were happy to receive a shot. Our visitors were both a little wayward off the tee, we were both straight, advantage JOG. We carried on in this vain and 1 up. Early on we managed to build a 3 hole lead and fortunately never let it get below 2 and ran out 3&2 winners.

Pleased with ourselves we returned to shower and change and await our team results as the pairs returned. 1-0 became 2 then 3 then Dunstable got a couple and doubt began to creep in. We shouldn’t have worried as pairs came in smiling and we ran out winners by 6-2. Not quite matching our defeat but satisfying none the less.

Dave Gauge

Vice-Captain.

Dunstable Downs Senior Men's Inter Club Trophy

We had a team of three go to Dunstable and compete in The Dunstable Downs Downsman Inter club Trophy.

I am pleased to say they won with a score of 117 points. Letchworth came second with 114 points.

Our team were Brian Bullen, Peter Jarman and Nick Seeley.

Well done lads.

Away Match v Bourn - 26th July 2018

Another bright warm sun-kissed Thursday morning with predictions of possible heavy rain later saw the JoG Seniors' team at Bourn GC hopeful of revenge for the home defeat earlier this year.

Captain Jim was his usual combative self (quote “we really need to beat these guys”) was his discrete brief to yours truly on the first tee.  In the event, the sun shone down all day onto rather parched fairways and greens that were true, fast and very green.

However, true to recent form we lost 6 games to 2. So the Sacred Scroll was retained by Bourn GC and to add insult to injury our revered Captain was awarded the Sombrero for the most golf. Attributed to his 7 iron approach to the 18^th which was lying perfectly, but nevertheless finished closer to the clubhouse bar than the hole. I think thirst got the better of him.  

 Bill Walker

Footnote:  Before the match JoG Team Members were asked to fill in their scorecards in detail for all 4 players in their group for the entire round in order that some post match analysis could be undertaken to see how all players performed  in relation to their handicaps. The results of the analysis showed the following:

1.     Only 6 cards were returned.  Observation:  Some team members have very short memories.

2.     Three of the 6 cards handed in stopped scoring after the hole that the match ended. Observation:  Some players don’t listen fully to the brief.

3.     Two cards recorded team scores rather than individual scores. Observation: as above.

4.     Of the 2 cards that were completed in accordance with the brief. One team won where our team member scored 5 under his handicap. Well done Steve Cooper! And one was lost where their Team Captain scored 8 under his handicap.

So all in all the analysis was inconclusive largely due to players not sticking to the brief. However, I think it does show that in many matches someone will have an outstanding round and shoot well below their handicap. This is always the round that gets reported while the others tend to go unmentioned. Therefore, we should not draw too many conclusions about unrealistic handicaps based on exceptions rather than the majority.

Annual Stableford Trophy - 24th July 2018

We had a field of 80

My charity pot grew by a healthy £200 so thank you all for that.

The results are.

Winner with 39 points Bill Conway handicap cut 0.8

Second with 39 points Allan Curtis handicap cut 0.6.

Third with 38 points Jim Mcillwain handicap cut 0.4.

Fourth place was Grahame Berry who lost on count back with 38 points but lost on count back but does not escape the dreaded handicap cut of 0.4.

Well done Bill we will have you down to 18 soon.

Home Match v Gog Magog - 17th July 2018

I am glad to say that the team ignored their leader and we won 51/2- 21/2.

Unfortunately Ken Doggrell and I played a high handicapper and a low handicapper guess who did the damage you got it the high handicapper. Thanks to the lads we won. 

Reg Batson Trophy - 10th July 2018

This is the competition where the top 30 from other competitions along with the Captain, Organiser and current holder are invited to play. I believe David had some trouble getting a full field together for this comp so there may be some changes for next year watch this space.

Winner was Keith Fuller with a net score of 65 points.

Second was Steve Cooper with 67 points.

Third was Peter Evans with 68 points.

Well done you lot.

Home Match v East Herts - 26th June 2018

This match was played with a reduced field of 12 

Result was a 3-3 draw. I can't work this one out as we beat them 31/2-21/2 at East Herts.

We have been in talks with them for next year regarding the number of players they can raise.

They have asked if we can move our match to another date as they struggle to get 16 for our game because it comes at the end of a really busy time for them. I am glad to say that St Neots have agreed to swap their dates and this helps solve the situation as I would hate to loose them of our fixtures. So here's hoping

Home Match v St Neots - 19th June 2018

Not so good and nearly a disaster. Result 1-7.

Our last pair secured a win to stop a white wash so well done Colin Fox and Keith Fuller.

Our only saving grace was that a lot of the games went to the last green.

Championship Trophy - 12th June 2018

We had a field of 75 

Winner was Harry Wakefield with a 66  cut 0.6.

Second was Mike Marshall with a 67 Beat Ray on count back handicap cut 0.6.

Third was Ray Smart with a 67 handicap cut 0.6.

The Bessant East Scratch Trophy Winner was Derek Page with a 78

There was 3 players with a score of 67 the 3rd was Peter Wade who was also cut 0.6.

Oh those missed putts you could have been a contender Peter

Home Match v Leighton Buzzard - 5th June 2018

Happy to report that Gerry and I won our match and the rest of the team followed suite.

Result was 61/2-11/2. Well done lads.
