Norwood Park v Blankney
Wednesday 29th June
The second season of this fixture
Providing stunning views across the Nottinghamshire countryside.
With some holes in the deer park and orchards of Norwood Park.
Another course with plenty of run.
With greens built to USGA specifications.
Convex in shape and very fast.
No easy putts, or chip up to the flagstick to be found here.
What was to be found was an excellent barbeque.

Blankney v Sleaford
Monday 4th July
Started the match in cold and damp and finished in sunshine.
The Sleaford players liked the improvements to the clubhouse.
And were very appreciative of the course.
Also very appreciative of the post match salad.
However Blankney had some hefty wins.
Apparently of no concern to the visitors.
Blankney 6 Sleaford 2
At present we have won seven and lost six of the fixtures.
Most of the matches we have given plenty of shots.
So far the bulk of the fixtures have been at home.
Visits to other clubs are prevalent in the second half of the season
