The last few weeks have been a rollercoaster ride, needing to win our last two games.  First up, Halesowen were our rivals, we wanted a big win, and we achieved it with a 6-2 result.  I was biting my nails to the bone!!  Ellis Muckley showed what a player he is; 5 down at one stage, turning it around to win 3-1.  Our youngest player, Ethan Ives came into the team and I never once doubted this kid and his ability.  He rose to the occasion and won his match.  He will be a tough guy to beat!  Jason, Matt, Myles, Jim and Aaron all emerging as strong Scratch Team members.

Scratch Win

We then moved onto our last game of the season against Perton Park, another good team and another victory required.  Our team of Ellis Muckley, Jason Sturmey, Warren Dempster, Myles Dudfield, Dean Mellings, Ethan Ives, Aaron Guarini, Jim Dudfield all stepped up to the task with a 6.5 1.5 win which secured the league title….proud Captain!

Lastly, Joey Jones retired from the Scratch Team due to injury.  Over the years, Joe has been a fantastic player with dogged determination and great enthusiasm.  The team will miss him and we wish him well.

A quick mention to Stu Munn and Martin Nugent for sponsoring the team.  Also thanks must go to our Chairman, Graham Dudfield, his mate Kevin and Glen Muckley for their support on and off the course, thanks guys.

From me personally, a big thank you to my Vice Captain, Dean Mellings; but mostly thanks go to Ellis, Jason, Wozza, Milo, Dean, Steve, Aaron, Jim, Ethan, Joe, Dan, Matt and Andy.  Sorry if I’ve missed anyone!

Thanks also to Steve and the girls for looking after us and the away teams.

From a proud Captain, thank you all!

Mick Cooper

Under the sturdy leadership of Mick Cooper and his Vice-Captain Dean Mellings it has been a hugely successful season so far.

GBGC Scratch Team

The team had a tension-filled match in their penultimate fixture last Saturday to secure promotion and guarantee second place.  A 6-2 win was required to put the team in a strong position to challenge for the title and to enormous relief, the lads got the result!

This Saturday (28th October) sees the team enter into their final match of the season against Perton GC.

For what will be another nerve-wracking match, the team would love for you to support them as they enter the final fixture of the season.  Another 6-2 win will see the lads pip the Halesowen GC team to win the league on points.

Mick and the team welcome you to come along and be part of the build-up and absorb the atmosphere of what is sure to be a top drawer display of golf, your support around the course will be more than welcome.

The first match tee’s off at 1 pm – we hope to see you there.

Come on lads – you can do it!
