RIBBLE VALLEY LADIES’ DARTS AS­


ON Saturday, Stonyhurst Park Golf Club saw its new club captain, Ray Robinson, drive off from the first tee to symbolise the start of his captaincy. This followed a Mixed Team Texas Scramble competition, where the allowance


Ray looking foiward to his year in office


with a net score of 58.4. Ray has been a member of Stonyhurst Park since 2001, and has been a members


representative on the council for the past three years. Ray is looking fonvard to working with his lady captain Janette Dowdy, and like all


new captains is praying for good weather. He encourages people to visit the course - green fees can be paid at the Bayley


Arms or Shireburn Hotel, Hurst Green - or even consider becoming a member. He believes that Stonyhurst Park is a jewel in the crown of the Ribble Valley, and


in value-for-money terms can’t be beaten - a lovely, picturesque, yet challenging, course.


Sunday’s competition for the men was the Three Clubs and a Putter, full handi­ cap strokeplay where second place was decided on a card play-off and went to Andy


Townsend with a.score of 83-15-68. The winner, with a score of 89-22-67 was Dave Procter. Ray is pictured preparing to drive into office. A260311/4 • CLITHERGE ladies played in a five-club competition on Thursday. Division One winner was Jean Holt with 35 points, three clear of Marilyn Fletcher,


who was runner-up on the card from Kathleen Lobell and Jean Anne Speak. In Division Two, Tracey Blanc won after cards from Janet Bailey, with both scor­


ing 39 points. Third was Michelle Fielding with 36.

• WHAT a weekend for Mytton Fold Golf Club’s captain John Beriy and club sec­ retary Dave Clegg! Not content with winning Samrday’s Irish Doubles competition,


they went on to win the first round of the Daily Mail Foursomes against Pleasington the following day. With positively balmy weather greeting Mytton Fold’s golfers over the weekend,


a strong turnout was assured for the Irish Doubles greensome format event. In the excellent playing conditions it was a surprise that only one pairing broke par, with Berry and Clegg coming in with a net 71.


Just one stroke behind came John Whittaker and playing partner Ian Tliomson,


fresh from his successful running of the Los Angeles marathon. Ian, running for the Parkinson’s Disease Charity, successfully completed a veiy challenging race, which


was held in appallingly wet and windy conditions, with over 200 competitors suffering from hypothermia. The battle for third had to be decided in the clubhouse when John Welch and Phil


Ryan, and Frank Tunstall and Phil Hammond tied with net 73s. The resulting card playoff awarded the former pairing with the final podium position. With just one two on the day, the pairing of Dave Halsall and Peter Main made off


^season with:captain Bill Banks bisecting the fairway and opening the competition ;:With. a superb, drive. The conditions proved to be very challenging for all concerned (as the stiff breeze made clubbing and yardages very difficult to gauge. New member John Parker carded a sublime 91-24-67 to take the spoils on the day, given the test­ ing conditions. The divisional winners were as follows; Division 1, Trevor Thomber 80-8-72; runner-up Colin Elliot. 81-8-73 after a card play-off. Division 2 , Andrew


jpompson 89-15-74; runner-up Bruce Craig 88-14-74; Division 3, John Lomax 90- 21-69. Tile lowest gross prize went to Miles Wade with a 77. The only two of the day,


proving how challenging the conditions were went to, David Flanagan.


(the whole pot when they birdied the first. ’ -To their successful weekend. Berry and Clegg played their first round match of (the Daily Mail Foursomes against Pleasington on Sunday, winning on the final hole. • LAST Saturday pw Whalley Golf Club’s first competition of the Summer


was combined handicaps divided by 10, which was won by Robinson, Richard Moody, John Buxbaum and Sheila Paiman with a net score of 58.2. Runners-up were John Whowell, Jean Alcock, Karl Hargreaves and Mike Bradley
