CHGC scored a magnificent victory over Reading by 3-2 in a match played under very changeable weather conditions.

As usual the visitors were great company and excelled with their President’s after- dinner jokes which provided a whole new meaning to the term ‘Vorsprung durch technik’.

Members who participated : Ron Barton – Captain, Norman Pavey, Matt Fletcher, Kevin Loy, Neil Johnstone, Bill Onions, Ray Tilley, Steve Phillips, Keith Norman and John Lovelace

Reading celebrate their Centenary next year and it was interesting to hear that they have raised £35000 over the last 5 years for the event.

Also this year’s Captain’s philosophy is that ‘charity begins at home’. All his fund raising is going towards bulding a new patio/decking outside the clubhouse which should be a real asset for the Members, especially in the summer.

Thanks & Regards,

Ron Barton

Don’t forget, Mid Week Stableford this Wednesday.

Sam Torrance re-wrote the record books with a stunning second round 63 to place one hand on his 11th European Senior Tour title at the DGM Barbados Open.

The Scot now takes a record equalling nine shot lead over Paraguay’s Angel Franco going into the final round, with the only other player to hold such a margin on the Senior Tour being Tommy Horton in the 1997 Scottish Seniors Open.

Torrance, who has yet to drop at shot in Barbados having opened with a 65, is now in pole position to become the first Senior Tour player to win having lead wire-to-wire with no ties since Carl Mason’s victory in the 2006 Estoril Seniors Open of Portugal.

Englishmen Martin Poxon and Glenn Ralph on five under par, with Ralph’s 67 continuing his fine return to the game following more than a year out due to a broken ankle suffered in a swimming pool accident whilst on holiday.

The 52 year old Camberley Heath professional finished tied sixth alongside Torrance and Sandy Lyle in Brunei and has maintained his form in Barbados.

“I’m a little bit surprised with that round I have to admit,” said Ralph whose best Senior Tour finish was second in the 2007 Scandinavian Senior Open. “I’ve not played golf at all for more than a year and I came out here, like I did in Brunei, with no expectations. I was just hoping to play some golf before the big run of tournaments in the middle of the year.

“I played really steadily though and holed some nice putts so long may it continue. I’m just going to go out there tomorrow and enjoy the day.”
