Another great turnout for the Supper Comp with 32 members and guests enjoying some early evening sunshine, with the threat of heavy downpours not quite materialising.

Some close scores with count back deciding 4th place, new Supper Comp players Ryan and Jamie Ball pipping Mr C and Lady VC.

3rd place was taken by Graham Wilson and Andy Stone and the winners, on another count back, was Patti Vincent and Graham Martin who beat the Tidd’s into 2nd.

Mr President will be back from his holiday to take up the reigns for the next Supper Comp on 4th July.

23rd May 2025

31 players (& 1 dog) enjoyed a Texas scramble comp over on the Championship Course of Friday 23rd May, followed by an excellent meal in the SALT restaurant.

All teams scored well, with the winning team of Jane, Richard, Lisa & Janis just pipping the runners up of Sue, Patti, Davie & Graham.

Well done to everyone & see you all at the next event on Friday 13th June on the Premier.

Great to see familiar faces and nice to welcome some new players, with 36 entrants for the first supper competition of the 2025 season.

Overall, there was some super scoring with a congested leaderboard for the runner up places (serious countback calculations utilised), but clear winners in Jo and Ian Ridgley with a magnificent 28 points.

Thanks to Donna and her team for laying on a great menu for everyone and thanks to all entrants for playing and staying for the prize presentations.

We hope to see as many of you as possible for the next event on Friday 23rd May, which is a Texas scramble over on the Championship course (open for booking now on HDID/Clubv1).

Glad to say Plan B worked! We would have all needed scuba gear if we had played on the original date of the 7th but fortunately the weather on the 14th just about held up. A good day with a good atmosphere in the club afterwards.

The result was very close with 4 teams on 62.9 (not to mention Mr Captains team on 63). However, congratulations to the winners who won by 2 clear shots.

1st. Neil Tidd, Graham Wilson, Peter Wilson, Helen Williams (60.9)

2nd Jeremy Scaiff, Jonny Scaiff, John Walsh, Martin Lester (62.9)

3rd Graham Martin, Barrie Hall, Chris Baker, David Baker (62.9)

The second social event of the year was held on Friday evening when Andrew Murray, former European Tour Professional and radio 5 live commentator, held a putting clinic and Q&A session for members. Andrew also opened Portal Premier Golf Club back in 1990.

Everyone had a great night and lots of hints were picked up! Look out for more holes in one! Many thanks to Andrew, clubhouse staff and Captains for organising the event.

9th March 2024

The annual Portal Quiz Night was held recently when 126 people enjoyed chicken / vegetable curry and a great quiz. This must be a record number (obviously, the fame of quiz master past President Pat Roper is spreading far and wide) and £526 was raised for the Captains' charity (St. Luke's Hospice).
Many thanks to all who contributed/attended and especially to our quiz master! Photos of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd prizewinners shown. Well done all!
