Richard has moved his charity bunker to the 7th hole for the month of August. So, if you want to avoid making a generous donation to the Captains' Charities then aim away from the right side of the green with your tee shot! The hole is, afterall, not called "Members' Bounce" for nothing!

Sylvia Davies reports on the mixed match yesterday - "The DG Mixed Team had a very good win at home on Sunday  to Bearwood Lakes, winning the match 3.5 to 2.5.  Jon Hawkins, who with Maija Myer won their match, got an eagle on the first!!!!!!! Gill Lane/Peter Drummond, Sylvia Davis/John Tonner also won their matches with Majorie and Roger Follows halving their match.  The team from Bearwood Lakes thoroughly enjoyed their day, and the hospitality afterwards, and are looking forward to the return match next year with us when they can 'seek revenge'.

An accomplished team from Studley Wood took away 4.5 from 8 points in a Concorde League tie at DG today. Despite some great golf played by James Dawes who came back from 4 down to win on the 18th, and Luke Batley who also won on 18, Studley just had too much in the tank on the day.
However, all is still to play for as this league doesn't end until October and we are still in with a shout.

The Mens Interclub Team went down fighting away to Wokefield Park 4-2. There are still 5 fixtures to go including a couple of away matches at Castle Combe/Manor House and the team currently lead the Tri-Tournament with Avon and CastleCombe/Manor House. The team is open to all members with no handicap limit. We hope to agree 4 club matches home and away during the winter with Magnolia Park and Wokefield Park as they do not have temporary greens or tees. We are also looking at an end of season golf away day for those who have represented the team during the year. Anyone interested in playing contact Tim Brunsden. » Read More

A big turnout this afternoon in the weekly Champagne Roll-up, with three bottles won. Sean Sargeant took first place with 23 points followed by second placed Mark Brown (22 points) and Darren Boyce with 21 points after count back.
Geoff Kells', who had a mediocre score of 13 points by his normal standards, was still smiling in the bar afterwards having eagled the 9th.
Dympna Batley's name was drawn in the weekly cash draw but as she was not present the money rolls over to next week.

Beware the wounded Senior!!!  After suffering a defeat to The Springs on Tuesday, the Seniors took it out on Caversham Heath today and came back 5-1 winners! Past CH member Ian Gaskell was one half of the only DG pairing to lose and there were suspicions that he had been bought over by his CH friends during the pre-match coffee and bacon rolls!
However, the home team made us all very welcome, and the meal afterwards was one of the best so far this season with a lamb shank main course followed by bread & butter pudding and ice cream. Who wouldn't wish to be a Senior with days like today!

Home advantage clearly helped The Springs to a home win (3.5 to 2.5) over the DG Senior team today. The matches were all very close on a course which most of the DG team had not played before. So, next year will, we are sure, be very different!
The Springs is now on our reciprocal list of courses which DG members can play for free. So, if you haven't yet played the course, book a tee time through our Pro Shop and you will be sure of a good day out.

A "stonking" round of 24 points by Phil Lewis easily secured him a bottle of bubbly last Friday in the champagne roll-up. Well done Phil.
Mick Clifford would have won £250 in the weekly cash draw had he been in the bar but, as he wasn't, the money rolls over to next Friday.
