Mendip Golf Club


Myself with Shaun Murphy after his game

Snooker World Champ drops in for a Knock!

Snooker World Champion Shaun Murphy made a surprise visit at The Mendip Golf Club last week when he signed in for an early morning round on Sunday. The 6 handicapper really enjoyed the course and managed to score 30 points which we reassured him was very good seeing as he hadn't played it before!

The Ladies Alliance 'B' team have been busy.  Playing Weston Super Mare at Mendip they had a good win securing 12 points. Four days later they were off to Chipping Sodbury where they won a further 8 points which gives the team 50 points at the half way stage of the competition. Well done Girls!

At a recent NatWest Pensioners event at Taunton & Pickeridge, remarkably there were two ‘holes in one’ within the hour. Firstly John Radford of St Enedoc holed his tee shot at the second, the first time this has happened at one of these events. Then this was followed by our very own Tony Williams who holed his at the 188 yard 10th. Drinks are on you Tony!

Mendip Professional Kevin Pitts found form again last week at Carlyon Bay with a solid round of 74. This finished in a tie for 6th place, only 2 strokes short of winning. The Playing Professional then had a nice surprise with a late call up to compete in The English PGA Championship at Goodwood at the end of the Month. Both Kevin and John will be competing in the 54 hole event with a prize fund of £30,000. Good Luck Boys!
