Spring Golf Weekend
April 25-27th

The Golf Section held its traditional spring weekend outing from April 25-27 at Sancerre, returning to the same venue that had been a success 8 years previously.

Despite dire weather forecasts, and half an inch of rain falling on the course on the Friday morning, we were quite fortunate with the weather overall and it was more a case of April showers than pouring rain, and the course stood up well to the test.

32 golfers, plus 3 non-golfing partners, enjoyed the weekend, and there were some notable scores.

In our individual stableford competition on Saturday, the top score was recorded by first-time invitée Céline Girardot (a member at Villarceaux and spouse of Villarceaux committee member Didier Girardot) – an exceptional 44 stableford points. In addition, Céline scored 27 gross stableford points and therefore won the Dean Trophy for the best gross score. She has been told that she needs to come back for our next weekend away (Limère, October 3-5) to defend her title!

The Kiwi Cup, presented to the best net score by an SAC member, was won by Patrick Lavelle with an excellent score of 38 points (Patrick arrived on Friday evening and had not even seen the course before teeing up on Saturday!). Other notable net scores by SAC members were: 36 points by both Ebba Dean and Sue Hall, 33 points by Alex Murphy and 32 by Dougie Anderson.

Our traditional friendly Sunday competition was a 3 ball scramble “à la française”. Overall scoring was good, and the winning team was Neil Anderson, Muriel Jones and Alison Lavelle.

Once more our very own duo of fearless photoreporters, Alan and Julie Peacock, have unlimbered their telephoto lenses to bring you amazing fresh insights into the world of the weekend golfer in its native habitat.

Section Competition
Saturday, November 9th - Individual Stableford

The Royal and Ancient Weather Gods subjected the competition to the so-called 9-Hole rule.
Breach of the 9-Hole rule results in floods, plagues and pestilence being visited upon the player or players.
No player was found to be in breach of this rule. So the Gods just visited mild flooding and pestilence upon the land, while the participants lunched or partied.

2013 Autumn Weekend
Domaine de Vaugouard
September 27th-29th.

The course was in excellent condition, and was very challenging as it was playing every yard of its length.

Andrew Dean won the Kiwi Cup, which is awarded for the best net Stableford score in our Saturday competition.

Julie Peacock won the Dean Trophy for the best gross score.

In our Sunday friendly scramble, the winners were Andrew Dean and Mary Rosset.

We were unbelievably lucky with the weather – it rained overnight on both Friday and Saturday, and also just a few minutes after we set off for home on Sunday afternoon, but not a drop while we were on the course!

2013 Riders Cup
Wednesday, 18th September

Our brilliant team sprang forth from the slough of despond created by their dire defeat at the hands of Villarceaux to deliver a sound drubbing to the visiting Vikings - 3 1/2 to 1 1/2 - and thereby retain the cup


2013 Centenary Cup

"O, woe is me,
To have seen what I have seen, see what I see!"

GolfBag 2013, after W.Shakespeare, Hamlet3.1

After two successive years in which the SAC won the match, Villarceaux fielded a very strong team and frankly outplayed us, winning the match by 8 points to 1, even though most of the matches went as far as the 17th hole. The match was played in the usual excellent spirit and was rounded off by a glass of champagne.

For sordid details of the team line-ups see here


2013 Summer Eclectic

Clean sweep for the Lavelles in the Net Stakes - congrats Alison (who just misses a record-breaking 50 by the skin of her teeth) and Patrick.
For the Brutes, Sue has a nice 2 under for the Ladies, and for the Men James ducks in with one under, while Alex beats all comers with 3 under!

Golf Weekend - Dieppe
April 19th - 21st

The Golf Section held its bi-annual golf weekend from April 19-21 at Dieppe. 30 golfers confronted the interesting Dieppe course and admired the sea views. The weather was fair throughout the weekend, if a little chilly at times. On Saturday, we played for the traditional Kiwi Cup (best net Stableford) which was won by Muriel Jones, and the Dean Trophy (best gross stableford) won by Alan Peacock.
On Sunday, we played a 3-ball scramble and the winners were the team of Michael Dean, Monica Greenwood and Chris Fewkes.

We all enjoyed the weekend – good food, pleasant hotel, and all very well organized by James Moore.

Our next weekend away will be from September 27-29 at Vaugouard.
