HUGS - Helping Uganda Schools, Wednesday, May 4th
, 2011
May 4th
, 2011 was a brilliant day. The sun shone. The Romiley Golf Course was at its very
best. And 100 people came along to play golf and raise money for the Annual Golf Event
which Charlotte Brinsley, Bob Blundell, John Glynn and Peter Mount spent so much time
planning. We had 22 teams
and this year a "shot gun start"
at 13.00 made sure that all
players got back to the lovely
Romiley Club House at about
1730 for an enjoyable meal,
the raffle, the prize giving and
the auction. The signed shirt,
framed and authenticated by
Javier Hernandez, Chicharito,
was the item of the night.
Reception was manned and womanned by Mike Bury, John Boydell and Margery Mount.
Margery looked after all the finances again to make sure the teams paid and she and
Catherine Hardy did a great job selling raffle tickets.
Ben Thompson challenged all-comers
at the 11th
. If anyone got nearer the
pin than him they doubled their bet of
£5 to get £10. However, Ben, pictured
on the right, raised £260 for HUGS.
The Half Way House was
incredibly popular. Was it
something to do with the
free beer and pork pies?
Carolyn Brinsley and
Joyce Glynn made sure
everyone was happy
including Heather Mercer
and Donna.
Bob Blundell, also a trustee, is
pictured here with his team, The Boys,
with Graham Drabble, Alex Vaughan
and Joe Maloney. Boys?............dream
on, Bob.
Charlotte had been on marshalling
duty with your editor when meeting
The Boys at the 7th
.
A great day and all the players said they would come back next year. It looks like the grand
total raised will be just over £5000 which, for those of you who speak Ugandan, is
20,000,000 Uganda Shillings. It will really help the projects and every penny goes to the
schools. HUGS would like to thank your editor, John Glynn, for his invaluable contribution
to the day. But without HUGS megastar Trustee, Charlotte, it would not happen. Thanks,
Charlotte!!

Ladies EWGA Medal, Sunday, 1st May, 2011
1st Denise Booth 81-9-72 Denise managed to produce the best gross score of the year
with a 81. As this was done in a howling gale it was a superb result.
2nd Linda Moore 92-16 76
John Ollerenshaw
John can be seen most days strolling around the golf club in his usual elegant fashion. For
those of us who have seen his smooth, rhythmic, languid swing it is no surprise. He‟s 86 now
and has played golf for 65 of those years with his lowest handicap being 4. In 1981 John and
his wife, Phyl, were joint captains of Romiley Golf Club and that was to prove the highlight
of his golfing career. John points out that when he won the doubles K.O with Harry Ryan the
winners had to pay for their name in gold.
In 1940, aged just 16, John started his footballing career playing full back for Manchester
City and that was where he met the best player with whom he had played, Peter Doherty. He
vividly remembers Crewe drawing 2 – 2 at City. The following week John and Peter Doherty
were the only changes made to the team and City won 6 – 1. John modestly gives the credit to
Peter Doherty. In 1945 he was signed by Arsenal Football Club and moved down to London
and stayed for a further six years. He left to get married to Phyllis and returned to his
Hydonian roots. John reckoned that Phyl was the only trophy he won at Arsenal. On the same
day that John signed for Arsenal so did Arthur Mitten, who went on to play for England at
both cricket and football.
John believes that he was born just 70 years too early. When he joined Arsenal his pay was
£14 a week and when he finished he was on the maximum wage possible; £20 a week!
1951 John Ollerenshaw 2011
In the picture on the left John is signing a football for some fans after Arsenal beat Liverpool
2- 1 in the F.A. Cup Final which he felt was the best day of his footballing career.
Ladies Nellie Oldham Trophy, Thursday, 5th
May, 2011
Three Way Tie
Winner - Moira Campbell 1 up wins on cpo from Elsie Hayward and Maureen Codling
Moira - “I was stunned and thrilled to win my very first major. It was one of those days that
everyone dreams of when everything came together. The weather helped and I had the
wonderful encouragement of my partner, Jill Woolstencroft.”
The Nellie, as it is affectionately known, is a par comp (bogey to some) and on 5th May the
ladies drew for partners, as with all majors, and played in the first major of the season.
Traditionally after this competition the ladies meet for a meal and prize presentation and this
year was no exception, but it was a day of ups and downs. In the morning the ladies played
in sunshine but the evening players teed off on the 1st in the rain and holed out on the 18th
still in the rain. The course was desperate for water but the sky could have waited just a few
hours before it fell on Romiley. It‟s a wonder that the last pair out could see the pin on the
18th when they finally putted out at around 9.20.
The computer chose this day not to function so June and Edith had to revert to checking the
cards manually. That wasn‟t all because the computer crash meant that the till in the bar
couldn‟t be opened and the bar staff had to take a note of the card numbers and drinks bought
to punch in later - not an easy job with, as usual, everyone arriving at once.
Then it was discovered that the shut-tight till contained the key to the trophy cabinet where
the Nellie Oldham Trophy is kept! However, it wasn‟t necessary to gather round the glass
and point out the cup to the winner because, miraculously, the computer began to work (as
computers do) in the nick of time and the till came to life and the trophy was retrieved.
The result was a three way tie for first place with one up and a five way tie with level, and of
course no computer to work it out. Not a problem to June and Edith; a manual count back
was done and the winner was established, Moira Campbell. But then, to end the day, Moira
was unable to be present so the trophy could have stayed in the cupboard after all! The
stunning cup will now be presented at the next presentation evening.
Indeed a day of ups and downs but, thankfully, the oven isn‟t controlled by the computer so
everything went smoothly with the lovely food, and fortunately we haven‟t yet reached the
stage of needing a computer to open a bottle of wine!
Vets Match v Ashton, Friday, 6th
May, 2011
Won 5 and 3
Jeff Knott and Peter Cook (middle two) Eric Jones (L.) and Colin McManus
(R.)
May Men‟s Monthly Medal, Captain‟s Qualifier 2, Saturday, 7th
May, 2011
(1st Div)1st 74-6=68 Nick Madden (2
nd Div) 1st 77-10=67 Malcolm Conway
Nick‟s driving and iron play was really on form so he was always giving himself a chance of
birdies. However, he claims his putting was not good and Nick missed two from just 6
inches. He managed this score despite having “Lightning” Lee Prendergast as a partner.
Malcolm reckoned he hasn‟t played this well for ages and just enjoyed playing a lot better
than his handicap for a change!
1st 95-24=71 Steve Cleary (Division 3 Results)
Steve was delighted with his round
and he was convinced the difference
was down to two things. Firstly, he
had new grips fitted to his clubs and
secondly he stayed out of trouble just
for a change.
2nd 91-20=71 Peter Royle
3rd 95-21=74 Barry Hughes
Daily Mail Foursome, Thursday, 12th
May, 2011
Stroke Play, half combined h/cap
1st Liz Wilde and Jill Woolstencroft 75.5
Both Liz and Jill played with their usual steady game and produced a very good winning
score.
2nd Janet Godfrey and Sandra Davison 78.5
Vets‟ Dinner, 13th
May, 2011
75 vets and guests had a relaxed and entertaining evening for their first social of
the year organised by everybody‟s favourite uncle, Bob Blundell. The next time
you see him just mention “cheese and biscuits” and watch as he holds his head in
his hands.
The Vets‟ Chairman, Malcolm Booker, set the tone for the evening as he gently
reminded the audience of truisms of golf such as, “The less skilled the player the
more likely he is to give advice.” And “No matter how bad you are playing you
can always play worse.” All the truisms provoked laughter and groans of
acknowledgement. The favourite was, “You can hit a two acre fairway 10% of
the time and a two inch branch 90% of the time.”
Malcolm and Jan Booker Wendy and Stuart Booker
John Rubery provided a delightful literary view of golf. From John Betjeman‟s “Seaside
Golf” which begins, “How straight it flew, How long it flew” and ends with the evocative
images of
“Lark song and sea sounds in the air
And splendour, splendour everywhere”
John‟s quote from P.G. Wodehouse was perfect for so many golfers including one of your
editor‟s best friends, Keith Selby.
“The least thing upsets him on the course. He misses short putts because of the uproar of the
butterflies in the adjoining meadow.”
But the piece de resistance was the parody of John Masefield‟s “Sea Fever” which begins, “I
must go down to the sea again....” and refers to urges that cannot be denied by seniors.
I must nip off for a pee again, If I don‟t I may well die
And all I ask is a small bush about four or five feet high
And a clear view and a quick slash and a moment‟s shaking
And a light wind and a good zip that‟s not forever breaking.
As John Rubery finished to tumultuous applause there was a stampede to the toilets.

Men‟s Hudson Cup, Saturday, 14th
May, 2011
Tony Fitzpatrick Chris Mullins
Tony finished 4 up against the course in this bogey competition. “I was all over the place but
seemed to finish on or near the green and the chipping and putting was really good. It was a
struggle on the back 9 and I was pleased not to have gone out early or late in the day when
Chris Mullin was 4 up after 9 holes and just couldn‟t maintain that score but finished a very
creditable 2 up.
This day will be remembered because Man United
clinched the league title and Man City won the FA Cup.
Mark Richardson (City) and Craig Oakes (United) prove
that some supporters can share the joy!
In fact a city united!
Roly Hewitt, Ian Kershaw and Bob Law stroll up the
17th
in the only sunshine of the day.
Evening Mixed, Saturday, 14th
May, 2011
In the lounge at the club house your editor was sitting with Lady Captain, Pauline Whitehead,
who had just played in this event. “Who is that chap in the purple sweater,” she asked.
“That,” I replied, “is the infamous Mark Kitchen. But why do you ask?”
“Whenever he sees me he always calls me Elsie and salutes!”
“I think, Lady Captain, that the answer is in your club title. L. C.” “Ah!” said an
enlightened “Elsie”.
WINNERS!

Blades Mixed, Sunday, 15th
May, 2011
Steve and Heather Denton with Mr. President, Ken Cooper
The rain lashed down all day but did it bother Steve. Not one bit. Why? He had been at
Wembley the previous to see City claim the cup and he bestrode the course in a euphoric
state (plus a thick head). Steve provided the brawn whilst Heather provided the subtlety and
finesse around the greens. Heather felt that anyone who actually completed the round
deserved a mention.
Just Another Hole In One
All three told of a majestic
strike; the ball flying straight
and true. Their knowledge that
it would be a hole-in-one. This
is Brian‟s second in just a
couple of months. Your editor
does enjoy the whiskey on the
bar.

Vets‟ Invitation Day, Friday, 20th
May, 2011
With a score of37points, Alan Parkey and Hector Bickerton (Stockport GC) grasp their
winners‟ champagne, presented by Malcolm Booker, chairman of the Vets.
These exceptional photos of the woodpecker and fledgling were taken by Phil Cody.
He was hours waiting to capture these moments but my goodness, it was worth it.
Thanks, Phil.
This is a verbatim account of a conversation on the 15th
tee during the vets‟ Invitation Round
inspired by the birds:-
' Looks like the woodpeckers have flown now.'
'I don't know how they peck holes in oak. It's hard, you know. You'd think they'd get
a headache !'
'I gave one of them 2 aspirin the other day.'
'You can't do that with cage birds.'
'Why not ?'
'Well, we tried once, but the parrots e't 'em all! (paracetamol)'
'We bought two parrots years ago. We got them on higher purchase ( higher perches,
geddit ?)'
'Were they going cheap (cheep)?'
Needless to say, the tee shots which followed were, to put it kindly, mediocre... as
was the rest of the round!
Snooker Room
Ken Ashworth and Derek France have played for over 7 years whilst the RGC over 80‟s
Snooker Club. Ray Wilson[cue], Harry Stott and Ken Mannion [unfortunately John
Ollerenshaw was absent] have been potting for 20 years. The players are thrilled at the total
transformation and the vastly improved facility with the table having been re-varnished and
recovered. “Many thanks to the members who have made the snooker room a first-class
facility at the Club”. Our grateful thanks to the following members who enabled the
transformation to take place and who carried out the bulk of the work -
Mike Trbojevic – Painting & Decorating Steve Cleary and Nick Madden – Joinery
Mark Kitchen – Electricals Alan Costello – Carpets
Steve Birtles – Blinds Kevin Jones – Plumbing
Last, but not least, our Chairman, Mr Neil McRoberts, for the Snooker Table. Our thanks to
anyone else who did their bit.
Start „em Young
Your editor was fortunate enough to see Chris O‟Reilly taking his son, William, to the
practice ground and he watched in amazement as
William casually hit ball after ball. He did not miss
one.
Chris said that a plastic set of clubs just before he
was 2 started the love affair and William used to
sleep with them. However his clubs now are the
real McCoy and whilst they are still too big it
makes no difference to his striking ability. The best
feature of this encounter was William‟s sheer joy
which can be seen in this photo of the maestro.
Mind you he is 3 NOW!
Men‟s Jubilee Trophy, Saturday, 21st May, 2011
Winner with 39 points Paul Beesley
Paul did not think 39 points stood a chance of winning and just thought he had had “a nice
round”. However on reflection as he remembered putts blown off course he recalled why the
next scores were 3 points below him. The wind! It just shows what a good score it was.
Runners up with 36 points - Jim Reid and Mark Worsley

Men‟s Daily Mail Foursomes
Colin Davies John Doherty
Colin and John had a nail-biting match in the 3rd
round of the Daily Mail Foursomes when
they won at the 20th
hole when playing Werneth Low away. They were really pleased as they
were also giving a shot to their opponents. Well done, lads.
Handicap Cup, Round Two, Wednesday, 25th
May, 2011
Winner with Gross 80 Nett 66 - Gary Drabble
It was a back 9 of just 36 shots which laid the
foundation for Gary‟s fine score. The pivotal moment
was probably the 6th
when Gary hit his tee shot into a
strong wind and out of bounds and still walked off
with a 6. His putt for a birdie on the 17th
was from a
long way with the ball going down and across the
green before stopping on the edge of the hole. As
cries of anguish rang out so it dropped and the cries
became those of joy!
Runner Up with Gross 88 Nett 66 – Barry Johnson
RGC Vets‟ versus Davenport away, Friday, 27th
May, 2011
The seniors of Romiley travelled to Davenport on Friday, 27th May to take on the home team
in a 10 pairs - a side match. The groups gathered under gloomy skies, but although they
stayed grey, there was none of the previous day's heavy rain. This downpour hadn't managed
to slow down the speedy home greens much, however, and several of the Romiley players
found the change of pace difficult to handle. This may have contributed to the visitors' overall
below par performance. Davenport were victors by 6½ to 3½. The day was enjoyable,
however, with the course in excellent condition, the company sociable and the lunch very
good. Romiley will get a quick chance for revenge as Davenport are due to visit us next
Friday.'
Men‟s All Winners Round 1 (Captain‟s Qualifier 3), Saturday, 28th
May, 2011
And Men‟s All Winners Round 2, Sunday,
29th
May, 2011
Or Alias Smith and Jones
The All Winners Trophy 2011 was played in
extremely blustery and difficult conditions over
Saturday the 28th
and Sunday the 29th
of May.
The leading contenders going into day 2 were
Mark Jones 70 and Mr. Captain 73. At the turn on
Sunday it was clear that, barring disasters, the
eventual winner would come from these two.
Throughout the last 9 holes an exciting duel was
fought, the advantage going first one way and
then the other. At the 16th
there was a 2 shot
swing in favour of the Captain and at 17, 3 shots
changed hands in favour of Mark, a greenside
bunker and a very tricky pin position giving the
Captain a few problems. As might have been
expected it all came down to the last green where
the Captain holed a breaking 18 footer to level the
36 hole aggregate, and claim the Trophy by virtue
of the better second 18.
Commiserations to Mark. He played some great golf off a handicap of 2, but lost on a card
play-off. Congratulations to Mr. Captain, whose comment when leaving the 18th
green was,
“Captain and a Major. How much better can it get?”
