2025 Early Bird Golf Doubles on Sunday, 13 April
To all high handicap and fairly new players without handicaps.
I now have 12 players for the Early Bird Doubles on Sunday, 13 April. As 12 is the best number for this competition, I am going to close the list. However, if you would like to play and have a handicap of 11 or more, or have yet to get a handicap, please let me know as I would like to have a reserve list, in case anyone falls under a bus or breaks a finger before next Sunday.
12 players gives us 6 pairs, and means that an all play all approach can be taken, with a total of 5 games to be played: 3 in the morning and 2 after lunch. 16 players makes it a very long day, or we have to split into two groups.
Further information to follow for the participants !

2025 Early Bird Golf Doubles Reminder
Calling all Golf Croquet players with high handicaps (or none at all yet !)
A reminder that the Early Bird Doubles competition will be held on Sunday, 13 April (weather permitting of course). This is a doubles competition for members with handicaps of 11 or higher, or for fairly new players who have not yet got their handicap cards.
In fact it is an ideal competition for the less experienced players to “cut their teeth” on…..you are paired up with a more experienced player as a partner, so do not worry about knowing all the rules ! We will sort out your handicap at the beginning of the season ….. which is very soon.
At the moment I have only 7 people signed up for this competition. We could do with a few more ! Ideally I would like to have 12 participants, though we can manage up to 16. However we do need at least 8 ! Are there any other interested parties….please !
Could you also let me know if you are a handicap 10 and would like to take part. In the absence of enough 11 and above players I will be opening the competition to handicap 10 players.
All the best

2025 GC Level Play Ladder
Calling all GC players. In case you haven’t got enough competitions to tempt you this season … here is another !
This is a season long Level Play Ladder competition, with games played in accordance with the rules applying to level play games in the NW Federation leagues, and is open to all handicap levels. Players who have joined the ladder can challenge players up to three places above them and if they win then they change places. Simple !
Actually there are one or two other rules, but I will send out some guidance notes at the start of the competition.
Meanwhile could you let me know if you want to take part and I will set up the ladder in the pavilion. This includes all members, including those who started last year. If you do not have a handicap yet but would like to join, let me know and I will sort out your handicap and card.
Please reply direct to me on jaytay20ch@aol.com .
Hope to see some of you on Sunday, 30th March

2025 GC Handicap Knockout Competitions
Just to let you know we are running the singles and doubles competitions again this year for golf croquet.
Both competitions are run on the handicap system so there’s a fair chance for everyone who competes. Everyone is welcome to enter including last year’s intake.
Don’t worry if you don’t have a handicap – those players who have yet to get a handicap can contact Jayne Taylor direct on jaytay20ch@aol.com .
Please let me know if you wish to enter the singles, doubles or both. Please enter as it’s a fun competition that is played through the season (although on a knock out basis).
Once everyone has come forward there will be a draw to see who plays who and dates set by which to play the games. Players will contact each other to arrange games.
For the doubles competition just let me know if you wish to enter and a doubles partner will be assigned to you.
There are nice trophies for the winners which are currently held by Kerry Dadson and Doreen Curtis for the doubles and myself for the singles.
If you wish to enter please contact me on sclements08@yahoo.co.uk or 07531860451.
See you soon.
Best wishes

2025 Early Bird Golf Doubles Competition
Calling all Golf Croquet players. The season fast approaches and our first internal competition is down in the Calendar for Sunday 13th April ! Yes I know it is early, but the clue is in the name….Early Bird Doubles !
This is a one day Level Play doubles competition for players of handicap level 11 and above, and is also open to any players who are relatively new to the game and have not yet been given a handicap. So ideal for last years newbies ! You do not need to join as a pair. We will sort that out. The number of games to be played depends very much on the number of pairs involved, but it is very much a fun competition to start the season off, starting around 9.30 or 10 am and going through to mid afternoon (so packed lunches needed ).
Please let me know as soon as possible if you would like to take part, by email direct to me at jaytay20ch@aol.com .
See you soon

2025 RAT Trophy golf croquet handicap league
We will soon be starting the new croquet season and commencing the 2025 RAT League competition.
If you would like to take part, please let me know. The list of competitors together with contact details will be on the notice board when the season commences.
This is a handicap competition, to be played under the Advantage system, for which help will always be provided if required. The handicap system does mean that newer players have as much chance of winning as more experienced players and is an excellent way to improve your game. Jayne Taylor will be organising handicaps for players who do not yet have one.
It is played throughout the year, with all members of the league playing each other just once, at a time and date which is convenient for them and arranged by them. Results are recorded in a diary in the club house, so that I can keep a monthly running score sheet which is periodically sent out to members via email.
If you wish to take part this year, please let me know at edanddor@hotmailcom providing me with name, handicap, email address and telephone numbers (landline and mobile if appropriate).
Hope to see you soon
