Luton Irish St Patricks Day 

I mentioned last week that Joe McNamara won the men's St Patricks Day event at South Beds on the 17th March, but I was miss informed; the actual winner of the event was Wayne King. 

Apologies Wayne, and congratulations.

Easter Texas Scramble 

On another disappointing bank holiday weekend weather wise, the Easter Texas Scramble took place on a wet and windy Sunday. The winners on the day were Darren Murtagh, Greg Rylands, David Taylor and Paul Burr; considering the conditions, they recorded a very good score of 59.5.

This weekend consists of a men's medal on Saturday and Sunday, which, for division 2 players, is a qualifier for the Miles Trophy. The ladies have their own medal taking place on Sunday. It is supposed to be a warm and dry weekend, so some of you brave ones may even decide to leave your waterproofs in the car!

 

Fantastic

I played a few holes at South Beds GC myself this week, and I must say, from an unbiased viewpoint, I think the course is in fantastic condition for the time of year. I can guarantee that you would have to travel a very long way to find a course that has coped with the recent wet spell as well as we have. 

We've had nothing but compliments about the course from visitors over the last couple of months, which is testament to Tom Hooper and his staff. I'm looking forward to seeing what type of course they can produce in the next few months.

Scratch Team 

South Beds Scratch Team are playing their first match of the summer league away at Millbrook on Sunday 17 April. 

If you have got a spare couple of hours, and want to see some (hopefully) high standard singles match play, pop over and give the lads a bit of support. 

More details can be found on the South Beds Golf Club website.
