David on the road to Gleneagles!Congratulations to David Orwell on winning last weekend's medal and qualifying to join me in playing at Orsett GC in June in the regional finals of the Lombard National Pro Am series. David won on count back with a nett 69 from David Brown in second place. If we can win at Orsett then we will join 16 other pairs from regional events all over the country for a Grand Final at Gleneagles GC the home of this year's Ryder Cup. Well played David.
Come on the U's
Well done to Cambridge United who last week won their semi-final playoff match against Halifax Town to win through to the Conference league play off finals at Wembley. United have already played at Wembley this season when winning the FA Vase, so hopefully this experience will help them when they face Gateshead on the 18th May. I'm sure there will be quite a few Links club members who will be making the pilgrimage to Wembley in the hope that CUFC can get back into the Football League properly. As many of you know I have been a U's fan for quite a number of years, all started by the fact my Dad played for them back in the 60's. We wish them the very best of luck. Up the U's!
Ladies away trip
You might find the club a little quieter this weekend as Lady Captain, Lesley Duncan-Edge and 30 of our lady members will be away playing at the Hanbury Manor GC on the now annual Ladies Away Trip. Have a great weekend girls and we all hope the weather is kinder to you than the forecast suggests.
