Good afternoon all,
If you have been playing golf this week, you will have noticed two things; firstly it has constantly been raining, so much so that the natural duck pond behind the 18th reappeared!
Secondly and far more upsetting is the damage to the 3rd green. I know I said damage, but to be honest it's mindless vandalism, which after all the hard work Chris and his team have done, it must drive them to despair.
Fortunately the weather is on our side and with some sunshine, the damage should soon be on the mend.

Ladies Bradley Cooke match
The ladies also played Royal Blackheath in the Bradley Cooke competition, when was a very convincing 4-1 win for Langley park, it was especially nice to see Cheryl Power using her course management skills on the 12th.
Cheryl realised she couldn't make the carry over the water so very skillfully laid up between the pond and the ditch! She later informed me she managed a half on that hole on her way to a 6&5 victory.
