YOUR SAY




		This is YOUR PAGE CONGRATULATIONS Well done to Saltford who have retained the 1st division title with Henbury’s defeat @ Cumberwell on 5/6/09 Simon Crossford got a hole in one at the 144 yard 10th hole at Lansdown in a close encounter that resulted in Simon and his partner David pope winning on the last (7/7/09) Ryan Coles of Knowle who had a hole in one on the 2nd hole at Saltford (4/6/09). Mitch McNeil of Long Ashton who had a hole in one Committee July 2009 A request has been received from Weston-Super-Mare Golf Club for the following changes to be made to the Rules for the 2010 season. 1) There should be two promotions and two relegations in all Divisions and not just in the lower Divisions where there are more than 6 teams. 2) Rule 6 restricting the number of games a player may play in a season currently 10/12 depending on the number of teams in the Division be retained but the restriction that no player play for the second or third team after four games for the first or second team be removed. The reason being to assist Clubs in completing fixtures where there is a lack of available players towards the end of the season and at holiday times. The League Committee will be considering these issues when it meets on August 28^th but if either of these propositions meet with your approval would you please contact Karen Drake, Secretary/Manager of Weston-Super-Mare Golf Club so that a formal proposal may be drawn up for submission to the AGM duly proposed and seconded and included on the Agenda for this year’s A.G.M. at the end of October. Last year I volunteered to Captain Lansdown 2nd team, and despite being relegated from division 8 enjoyed the experience of playing and meeting many new golfing acqaintancies. I was also fortunate to be picked to play in the league finals at Saltford. It was excellently hosted and the hard work by the committee ensured that everybody had an enjoyable day. I was however very disappointed that at least one, possible two teams did not turn out on the day. I find it very hard to believe that they could not get 10 volunteers to play on such an occasion. I did hear it mentioned that perhaps those clubs should be penalised in some way: perhaps by being banned from playing the following year or by being prohibited from hosting the event? I'd be interested to hear anybody else's point of view and perhaps it could be raised as part of AOB at the AGM on Friday 27th October? yours aye Neil Pirie Lansdown 20/10/06
