MSCC Golf Day Winner Matt Dipple

MSCC Golf Day 2024

Thank you to Howard for organising an excellent MSCC annual golf day held at Kirtlington yesterday.

Eleven of us played 16 holes (two closed for renovation) using the stableford scoring system to declare a winner. The weather was slightly chilly, but with not a breath of wind in the air, it made for perfect conditions. The course was in good shape following the recent rains and the players were in excellent spirits. Robin was looking forward to using his new clubs and after a 50 year hiatus, Paul Wordsworth made his debut at this highlight of the MSCC calendar. The winners rostrum:

Winner: Matt D
Runner up: Mark F-L
Best Front 9: Matt D
Best Back 9: Mark F-L
Longest Drive: Howard L
Nearest Pin: Dan S
Wooden Spoon: Paul W

Congratulations to Matt, winning on his first appearance. See you all again next year.

End of Season Pitch Prep & Upcoming Events

Thank you to everyone who helped last Sunday after our final match was called off due to the rain. A call to arms went out for help to prepare the square for next year by putting it to bed this. In the pouring rain, the square was mowed, scarified and seeded. It was too wet to spread the loam, but we did lift 50+ very heavy bags of loam into position in readiness for that job.

After that little workout, we moved to the sightscreens and wheeled them into their winter position beside the nets. No easy job and thighs burned despite the old adage that many hands make light work (more hands next year please!). We stopped for a cup of tea.

Finally, the boundary rope was pulled in and coiled. There’s a technique to this, but not one anyone seemed to know! Matt D took charge and the rope has safely made it into a safe location for the winter.

We still need to spread the loam so please keep an eye out on our WhatsApp group for timings which will be weather dependent.

In the meantime, good luck to those playing in the end of season golf tournament this week and we look forward to seeing many of you at the end of season dinner on Friday.
