Competitions News: July, 2019
The seasons competitions are now in full swing. If you have been allocated a tee time in a competition final please do not remove your name without informing Competition Secretary, Peter Webb – he will re-allocate the vacancy. If gaps are left on the booking sheet by players removing their names directly the system allows others (not finalists) to book the available slot and this causes confusion.
The date of the McBain Cup (Medal) Final has been changed from Saturday 6 th July to Saturday 20 th July. (A McBain qualifier competition is now being played on July 6 th )

Men’s Senior League Success
The SGC Men’s TUGC Senior League team had an unusual, resounding home victory in their match against Hartlepool GC on Monday 17 th June, returning a match score of 12 – 1. The team were sporting their S G Petch sponsored team shirts for the first time and this seems to have made a big difference!
The match was played on a beautiful, clear, sunny afternoon and the condition of the course was complemented by many of the Hartlepool team – a number of which took several photographs of the course and the beautiful views.
