Tiger Trophy
After weeks of rain the February Tiger Trophy competition eventually got underway on 24th February. The results are shown below together with the latest Order of Merit information.
The 2026 Senior Captain is Gary Rogers. Regular Tuesday and Thursday morning Block Bookings are reserved for groups of senior players. The tee time allocations for Senior roll up events will be done by a draw 15 minutes prior to tee off on the day. On alternate "free" Tuesday and Thursday Roll Ups several different formats may be used. For the latest information see the Folke Senior WhatsApp group page. (To join the group contact Toni in the Club House). You can indicate your intention to play in special events and team matches via the Entry Sheets on the Club Notice Board.

Although Axe Cliff withdrew, the fixture list is still fairly full. Hopefully we will be able to gather a team for all the remaining events. I will continue to do the match admin, but intend to pass the "playing down with the captain" and after meal speech to a "Captain for the day". The Captain will be selected from the team list, you will only be expected to do it once. The Home match arrangements are to have a slight change. There will now be tea/coffee on arrival and the post match meal will be the traditional 2 option hot buffet followed by pudding. With the £7 Club subsidy this would leave a nett cost of £13. As we are often treated to a nearest the pin prize at away matches I would like to introduce this to the home events. A bottle of wine for the away team will cost about £6 (Lidl's best) and therefore the total cost to each player will be £13.50 (or £14.00 if you want it for the home team to be included as well). Let me know your feelings. Captain Gary
Club Captain Nigel Bow is continuing the support to Julia's House through 2026. The club raised £4,735 for the charity in 2025. Julia’s House is a Children's Hospice in Dorset and Wiltshire and they are an award-winning children’s hospice charity dedicated to bringing comfort and care to families across the two counties. Each family they support is unique and so is the care they provide. When a family finds out that their child has a very serious medical condition, which is life-limiting or life-threatening, their world falls apart. Julia’s House exists to help these children and their families.
