Some of the Orchardleigh Golf Club members recently competed in the Jefferies Trophy, an annual mixed pairs 4BBB competition, played on the Sunday, 13th August.

The winning pair were Mike Norris and Sue Marshall who brought in a score of thirty nine points and close behind were Dave and Sue Chalker with thirty eight points.

The Ladies section played The Sally Lock Trophy which is a two round Stableford competition and took place on Thursday, 10th August and Thursday, 17th August.

Both days were fine and sunny, but the course is still playing short due to all the recent rain. Perhaps this is reflected in the scoring. On completion of the first round, Sue Marshall was leading the field with thirty six points, four ahead of Diana Bullock on thiry two. The second round winner was Lorraine Collings with thirty four points followed by Diana Bullock, Sue Chalker, Jan Light and Pat Pitt all with thirty two. But Sue Marshall who also brought in thirty two points on the second round, added to her excellent first round score made her the clear winner with a sixty eight total. This was closely followed by Diana Bullock who was runner up with a two round total of sixty four.

The Orchardleigh Ladies have played a couple of home matches in the Bristol and District Alliance league winning 9/5 to Clevedon B and a stunning win against Bath B 13/1.
