Very good golfing conditions on Tuesday. A good turnout of CVGS members, with a total of 65 players in the Damn and Blast Stableford competitions. Member’s Corner: New event - The President’s Trophy scheduled for Saturday, 3 October. It was a bit of an unknown how this was going to proceed at one point due to COVID but plans are now in full swing. Tee times secured for around 60 players and with Johnny Porter wishing to field a ‘staff team’, we are limited to 12 players per section. The format will be Individual Stableford with the average score of the players from each section counting as the team score overall. Trevor Pigram, Junior Organiser is managing this event for Cottesmore. There will be 5 teams of 12 - Ladies, Vets, Men, Juniors and Staff. Eligibility - Any 5 day or 7 day CVGS member can play, subject to selection. Please sign up if you are interested. The finer details are still in the planning stage. You can book on the Cottesmore Website in the normal way - via future competitions. Competition Results: Phoenix Damn & Blast 1. Roger Birchmore 17 points (13) | 2. Noel Hallam 17 points (11) | 3.
