Guests Day at Sundridge Park

With temperatures set to soar into the 30's, 136 golfers playing in yesterday's Guests Day enjoyed some of the best weather this year so far.

68 members treated their Guests to an enjoyable 'Champagne Breakfast' followed by Golf around the East / West course, then a delicious 3-course meal and prizes.

Impressive scores were posted with 3 pairings posting 41 points from the West Course and two scores in the 40's from the East.

Ray Marshall & Lewis Marshall took 3rd Place on the East Course with a total 38 points, Dennis Cooper & Richard Grimes picked up 2nd place with 40 points, just one point behind 1st Place Winners Trevor Heath & Julian Lee on 41 points.

On the West Course it was just as tight at the top with Stephen Endersby & Jermey Davies taking 3rd Place on 41 points, the partnership of Mark Peache & Stephen Peache pipping them to 2nd place also with 41 points and winning on countback but narrowly missing out on 1st Place to Winners Alan Westhead & Eric Westhead again on 41 points.

The title of Guests Day Champions 2015 went to Mark Rowe and guest Shaun Welch with an impressive 42 points on the West Course. 

After generous contributions from the players in way of raffle ticket sales, the raffle table was full of 'top notch' prizes including a set of Irons, and enough to raise £500 for the Captains Charity. 

Thank you to all the members and their guests. 

Medal & Wynne Thomas Bowl

The Medal & Wynne Thomas Bowl played over the West course on Saturday produced a trio of nett 65's and it was Jack Edge who took top spot with Chris Saunders the runner-up and Dave Nash taking third place. 

The winner of the Wynne Thomas Bowl for over 16 handicaps was Brian Perris who shot a nett 68. Interesting Brian has also won the Wynne Thomas bowl at his bowls club, obviously Mr Thomas liked his sport.



Ladies Mail on Sunday


Despite a valiant fight, the Sundridge Park ladies' Mail on Sunday team came up against tough opponents and the team of Kim Morris, Anne-Marie Forrester, Liz Martinez-Gray, Lyn Baimbridge and Tita McCart were beaten at Royal Wimbledon. 

We have beaten them twice in the past so they were clearly out for revenge. Better luck next year ladies.

Lady Captain's Day

Our Lady Captain had fantastic support for her Captains Day's on Sunday & Tuesday with the weather just about playing it's part, although it was a little more challenging on Sunday with some heavy rain first thing.

The winner on Sunday was Shela Maine who took the top spot with a very fine 40pts, Nancy O'Connor and Liz Martinez Gray both shot 37pts with Nancy taking the runner-up spot on countback. On Tuesday it was Ingrid Long who shot a fine 36pts to just pip Julia Forrest & Lyn Baimbridge who both shot 35pts each. Julia took the runner-up spot on countback. 




An extremely strong field is in Gullane this week for the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open. Justin Rose defends and 2013 Open champion Phil Mickelson will start. 

With just a week to go until The Open Championship at St Andrews, some of the world's very best players will look to hone their skills on the links at Gullane. Among them will be 2013 Scottish Open and Open champion Phil Mickelson, together with, Rose, Rickie Fowler, Jimmy Walker, Matt Kuchar and Brooks Koepka plus a host of others. World Number 1 McIlroy was looking forward to the challenge of playing at Gullane but a complete rupture of his left ankle during a football kickabout has forced him to withdraw from the event. 

"I know Gullane from my amateur days as it has hosted a lot of great Scottish amateur events," he'd said. "Adding the Aberdeen Asset Management Scottish Open to my schedule in 2014 proved to be a great move, as it allowed me to get four competitive rounds of links golf under my belt a week before The Open." 

McIlroy is also doubtful for The Open next week. 

There'll be a composite course in operation at Gullane. It will feature 16 holes from Gullane No. 1 course - the 2nd to the 16th, plus the 18th - and two holes from No. 2 course - the 7th and 8th. New championship tees have been built for the 15th and 18th on No. 1 and the 8th on No. 2. 

There are three qualifying spaces for The Open Championship on offer this week. Places go to the leading three players (not otherwise exempt) who finish in the top 10 and ties. 

The Scottish Open was first contested in 1972, the first year of the European Tour; England's Neil Coles was the winner. The tournament disappeared from the schedule after 1973 but it was re-established in the 1980s. For eight years the competition was held over the Kings Course at Gleneagles with winners like Ian Woosnam and Jesper Parnevik. There were then two years at Carnoustie before the event moved to Loch Lomond in 1996. 

After 15 years at Loch Lomond, from 1996 to 2010, the Scottish Open spent three years on the Moray Firth at the exceptional Castle Stuart where Luke Donald, Jeev Milkha Singh and Phil Mickelson were victorious. Last year at Royal Aberdeen, Justin Rose came out on top. He held on down the stretch despite a valiant effort by Sweden's Kristoffer Broberg. 

The weather forecast for the week looks reasonable with only a small chance of rain on Friday and over the weekend. It might be a touch breezy which will heighten the challenge posed by the links. 

Player watch: 

All eyes will be on the likes of Mickelson, Rose and Fowler. But who else might put in a good showing at Gullane? 

Brooks Koepka - The powerful American put in a good showing at Chambers Bay and he enjoys the links. He was tied ninth in the Dunhill Links of last season. 

Branden Grace - Another man who enjoys tough conditions and is on good form right now - tied fourth in the US Open. He's a former winner of the Dunhill Links 

James Morrison - The form player on the European Tour right now. He won in Spain in May, he led through 54 holes of the BMW International Open and he was second last week in France.
