Update to the bonus ball draw pages showing the numbers purchased (and those still available for purchase) for 2008.

The sponsored referral adverts on the links page have been removed as no-one was making any purchases from the sites. It's obviously not worth my time keeping this page up-to-date if no income for the society is generated.  Some golf related links will be added to the page in due course. However, please keep clicking the Google links on the side of the pages - as this does generate good revenue for the society, all of which goes towards subsidising the golf days.

30 September

With the final event of the season taking place at Stratford-on-Avon Golf Club on Thursday, the emd-of-season prizes still up for grabs and the possible winners are as follows:

LEAGUE CUP
Brian Hornby is in a commanding position and, of those attending on Thursday, only Howard Holliday can overtake Brian. Howard needs to finish in the top 2 to match Brian's score and hope that Brian finishes outside the top 3.

GROSS BIRDIES LEAGUE
Graham Bilsland is currently leading but he is not attending on Thursday. The only challengers with an outside chance of catching Graham are:
Steve Lloyd who will need 4 gross birdies to match Graham
Ian Talboys who will need 6 gross birdies to match Graham
Andy Smith who will need 7 gross birdies to match Graham

NETT BIRDIES LEAGUE
Steve Lloyd is currently leading, and as some of his nearest rivals will not be attending, this looks like a straight fight between Steve and Brian Hornby.
Steve is currently four points ahead of Brian, so Brian will have to score at least four more nett birdies than Steve at Stratford to catch him.
