Men’s Medal 26/5/12
Summer sunshine graced Cleobury for the May medal and the scoring was just as hot as the temperatures. Jack Severn (70) and Simon Eades (68) both finished second in their respective divisions. Les Maidley rolled by the years in fine style to finish top in division two. Les made a string of pars and kept the high scores off his card to secure his first win of 2012.
The day however belong to Dave Leach who shot level par to secure a 66 and give him his first win of 2012. Dave put his victory down to a consistent display around the greens. ‘I have always been long off the tee but my short game was really sharp today. I aim to get my handicap down to 2 this year, hopefully more results like this will continue’.
Final Standings

Scratch Team Find Early Season Form!
The Cleobury scratch team continue to dominate all in front of them with another great home performance. They ran out 6-2 winners against a strong Branston team from Derbyshire. Captain Dean Carpenter was missing two of his regulars but the strength and depth of the squad was shown with Jason Sunderland and John Brazier coming in. Sam Pain, Dave Leach, John Brazier, Josh Carpenter and Ryan Taylor all recorded wins but Jack Pringle took the man of the match prize with a 7 & 5 victory.
With two home victories in the bag captain Carpenter had this to say ‘we have some tough away matches coming up that are going to test us, however with the team we have in place I am confident our third promotion in a row is going to happen’.
Well played lads

Men’s trio stableford 20/5/2012
The competitions at Cleobury continue to be ever popular with a great field once again taking on the summer conditions. The trio is a unique competition with the best score counting on the first six holes, the best two on the next six and finally all three on the final six. Josh Allcock, Will Edwards and Robin Craig thought they did enough with their score of 78. However they were just pipped by the mighty trio of Richard Chandler, Jez Duffield and the man simply know as Tram. They recorded 80 points despite nearly throwing it away on the last with just two points between them.
The relieved trio had this to say once their victory was secured ‘we gelled well as a team and played some great golf when needed, a cheeky birdie on the 17th from Richard certainly helped the scorecard’

Handicap League – Match Report v Perdiswell Park
After a disappointing start to the Handicap League season, with a loss and a halved match in the first two home matches, captain Tony Willetts decided that a different selection strategy was needed for the first away match against Perdiswell Park …….. so he dropped himself from the team!
This game plan almost back-fired before the first ball was hit with one of his team (Pat Fleming) turning up just a few minutes before his match was due to start after going to completely the wrong place !!
However, the change in team selection policy worked as the team romped home to a 5:1 win with no pair losing their individual matches.
First out, and biggest winners of the day were Steve Lau and Vi Van who had a comfortable 4&3 victory.
Junior member Robin Craig was impressive in his match with Rick Clayton as they won 2&1.
Joe Harper and Paul Liggins had a closer match which went all the way to the final hole with Joe and Paul eventually running out winners (1 up).
So with the first three matches all being won by Cleobury, only a half was required from any of the final three matches to seal victory.
The next pairing of Pat Fleming and Mark Shorter duly doing the business with a half in their match.
This just left the ever-reliable John Swithenby, playing with Andy Galliard to get another half in their match, before the final pairing of Bob Lucas and Gordon Moraity maintained their 100% record of 3 wins out of 3 this season with a 2 & 1 victory.
After the match (and following a whip-round for a new Sat Nav for Pat) captain Tony Willetts said “This was a marvellous performance by the Cleobury team and obviously I’ll need to drop myself more often! Our next Handicap League match should prove to be a much tougher test as we’re away at Bromsgrove. Few teams come away from Bromsgrove with a win so every player will have to perform well – but today’s match shows that we’re more than capable of going to any course and getting a result.”
Scratch Team Result.
The CMGC scratch team started their 2012 campaign with a resounding 6-2 home win over North Warwickshire. Captain Dean Carpenter once again had full strength team at his disposal as they look to secure their third promotion in a row. Josh Carpenter, Dave Leach, Matt Broad, Jack Pringle and Ryan Taylor all won whilst Sam Pain recorded the biggest win with a 7 & 5 victory.
Once victory was confirmed captain Carpenter had this to say ‘Our target is once again promotion for the coming season, some key players will be away at various points over the season so it is really going to show the strength and depth of the squad’.
Pictured is the scratch boys after their victory.
