\"\"It was a somewhat overcast day that greeted the members of CGS at Cleob<\/span><\/span>u<\/span><\/span>ry Mortimer Golf Club. <\/span><\/span>It wasn\u2019t<\/span><\/span> as bad as the weather and conditions <\/span><\/span>we experienced <\/span><\/span>the last time we visited this twenty-seven hole club. Two years ago <\/span><\/span>there was<\/span><\/span> so much rain the ground was so sodden that golf balls were lost on the fairways. It was clear from the course condition that the club had do a tremendous amount of the work on the drainage. <\/span><\/span>This year was different t<\/span><\/span>he course and greens were in very good condition. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This years event involved <\/span><\/span>a two tee start, <\/span><\/span>the three loops of nine at Cleobury can be very confusing indeed as each set of nine holes shows a stroke index from one to nine so it<\/span><\/span> was a little confusing working out the stroke indexes <\/span><\/span>to cover an 18 hole round<\/span><\/span>, luckily this was sorted for the members <\/span><\/span>before play commenced.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The day was won with a very impressive score by Vassel Brown. Playing <\/span><\/span>off <\/span><\/span>a nine handicap, V<\/span><\/span>a<\/span><\/span>ssel amassed a score of<\/span><\/span> 42<\/span><\/span> points <\/span><\/span>and b<\/span><\/span>y all accounts <\/span><\/span>he <\/span><\/span>just kept his game simple o<\/span><\/span>f<\/span><\/span>f the tee with some deadly putting <\/span><\/span>to back it up <\/span><\/span>to walk away with the TNCM Trophy<\/span><\/span>. In second was past O<\/span><\/span>rder of Merit<\/span><\/span> winner Dave Brown with <\/span><\/span>39<\/span><\/span> points <\/span><\/span>with <\/span><\/span>Carl Douglas achieving third place with <\/span><\/span>35 <\/span><\/span>points.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The O<\/span><\/span>rder of <\/span><\/span>M<\/span><\/span>erit<\/span><\/span> is a<\/span><\/span>ll <\/span><\/span>but <\/span><\/span>sewn up for the year – with only one event <\/span><\/span>remaining.<\/span><\/span> It <\/span><\/span>appears no one can gain enough points <\/span><\/span>from the final event <\/span><\/span>to overtake the current leader CGS captain Eddie Wedderburn. <\/span><\/span>Clinching the title will also mark the first time<\/span><\/span> in CGS history the title as been won more than once<\/span><\/span>.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span><\/span>final major event of the season <\/span><\/span>will be played at Lingdale <\/span><\/span>Golf Club on<\/span><\/span> Sunday 9th October. Then we look forward to <\/span><\/span>our<\/span><\/span> P<\/span><\/span>resentation <\/span><\/span>Dinner and Dance<\/span><\/span> on Saturday 19th November at The Pavillion, Moor Lane, Birmingham.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
