The Royal Jersey won the home leg of this year's Falklands Trophy defeating La Moye 8 matches to 4.

Maling the most of the home advantage the Royal took the first three matches with Gavin O'Neill and Mark Keeney leading the way with a 7&5 defeat of Mike Lotherington & Peter Green. Martin Denoual and Mick Le Feuvre soon followed with their 5&4 win.

Phil Morris and Rob Kelly won 4&3 and helped by Phil Morris holing his 5 iron tee shot at the par 3 15th hole. He will now endure a very expensive afternoon!!

The full results can be seen on the results pages. The 2nd leg will take place at La Moye Golf Club in late October.

02.03.2010 > 10th green update - 3 March 2010

The 10th green is coming on nicely as can be seen by the accompanying image and those on the gallery section of this site.

All the surrounds have now been turfed as has the 11th tees. The green itself is now established and has been cut on a number of occasions. It still requires a few more top dressings to fill in some of the bare areas caused by frost. The waste areas beyond the turfed areas (behind the fencing) will be left for gorse to establish. Already gorse shoots are beginning to show and within a year these will be approximately 6" high.

David Crawford, the Head Greenkeeper, is very pleased with the green not just in its progress, considering the winter we have experienced, but also in the design and layout. However, the big question is when will it be open for play?

David stated, "I always anticpated that the green will be ready for play in time for the visit of Kingswood Golf Club (26th March), and if the weather continues to be dry and the temperature begin to increase, I am optimistic that this deadline date will be reached."

23.02.2010 > Matters of Etiquette

It has come to the notice of the Management Committee that un-repaired pitch marks are once again plaguing the greens. The Committee would like to remind ALL golfers that it is their repsonsibility to repair their pitch mark and, if possible, repair at least one other whilst they are on the green. A repaired pitch mark takes 24 hours to recover; an un-repaired pitch mark takes up to 14 days to recover.

Whilst on the subject of 'on course etiquette', an interesting suggestion has been made. At Sunningdale Golf Club they have a club rule that in social/friendly golf only, a lost ball is only searched for by the playing whose ball it is. The Sunningdale Committee are adamant that this has been responsible for the improvement in slow play in recent years. Whilst our Management Committee are not about to impose such a rule, why not try it? There are a number of groups that play regularly who do use this 'policy' and swear by it!
