A great night with 68 members enjoying the superb Tapas selection laid on by Leanne and the catering team.
A wet morning faced the Ladies Claret Jug, but it soon cleared by late morning and stayed dry until the end of play of Sunday. Thank you to Club Captain Gareth Parry on a well run event, to all competitors, and also to the halfway house volunteers.
A change from yesterday's Black boxes and easterly wind, to White boxes and normal south westerly proved a slightly easier task for the competitors today. Congratulations to Owen Greenow claiming the Scratch Trophy on 145 Total, and to the 16 qualifiers
Even with the sun out, the easterly wind presented a tough challenge. Well done to Jaymes Price taking the Black Box Nett score with an impressive 64. Owen Greenow & Shalin Standing share the spoils in the Scratch Trophy, both sitting at the top on +4.
Another superb day for golf out on the links - showed by the great scoring throughout the day off the usually challenging white boxes.
A strong easterly breeze greeted all the players playing in the mid-week yellow box stableford. It was Colin Tapsfield and John Lee who took the spoils in their divisions, both scoring 37pts in very tough conditions.
The Commoners Cup was inaugurated in 1907, being played on 5th and 6th August. The cup was presented by the Commoners of the Manor of Ogmore, a token of their gratitude for the improvement in grazing which resulted from the construction of the course.
