The ladies of Foxhills bid a fond farewell to JJ from Foxhills Golf services on Wednesday 7th July. John Johnstone, fondly know as JJ to our members has been an integral part of Foxhills for the past 10 years. JJ joined in with our ladies’ roll up on Wednesday and managed to play a few holes with each group of ladies and we celebrated his retirement with a gathering in Bar XIX. We look forward to seeing JJ round and about enjoying Foxhills from the ‘other side’ as a member!

I couldn’t resist going out with my camera today ! Hope you enjoy Foxhills under snow ! Best wishes, Shirley  Shirley Difrawy receives Club Member of The Year 2009 WOW !! I must say that this award which was presented by our outgoing Captain at our presentations Day this year took me COMPLETELY by surprise, as you might notice from the look of shock on my face in this photo. The award is always kept under wraps until the night and when Judy started to say ” and this member joined Foxhills in Spring 2001…” I was looking around to see who it could be that had joined the club at the same time as me, until ….the penny dropped that it was me! I should of course have said a few words at the time but I have to admit to being totally lost for words, the true meaning of ‘speechless’. So, I would just like to say now, thanks so much for the award, it really does mean SO much to me to be recognised in this way. I have been totally involved with Foxhills since I joined all those years ago and have loved my various team captaincies and projects. Being a part of such a competitive, progressive and successful golf club is fantastic and I have thoroughly enjoyed being a part of all the successes we have had at our club, especially our Ladies Pearson and Centenary Bowl teams. Over the past 2 years, establishing and running the Foxgolf blog is a continuation of my involvement at Foxhills and I look forward to being a part of the happenings at the club for a long time to come. So thanks everyone for my award, it is much appreciated ! Best wishes, Shirley Difrawy Foxhills Golf Christmas Party 2009 ( More photos to follow as I receive them, if you have any you’d like to add , send them, Thanks, Shirley )
Although the course was quite wet and soggy the sun shone and the temperature stayed warm for our competition on Longcrosse. The going was quite tough because of the soggy ground and the ball wasn’t rolling at all but the scores were quite respectable with the winning team of Linda Rich, Linda Anderson, Jane Walker and Sharon Puddle scoring an excellent 74 points. The match format was a team of 4 players with 1 score to count on the par 5s, 2 to count on the par 4s and 3 on each par 3. The table was loaded with cups,trophies and awards for The Foxhills Golf Presentation Day 2009, beautifully prepared and organised by our vice-captain, Brenda McCormack. The awards ceremony began with our outgoing Captain, Judy Searle presenting a cheque for £30,000 to her chosen charity, S.P.A.R.K.S. Judy then continued to present the prizes to all those who had won events and competitions during 2009.
In spite of Jane’s great play Jose never gave up, holing an amazing putt at the 16th to continue the match. However Jane’ s power and accuracy told in the end as she was on the fringe for two on the 17th while her opponent was short in three. This is a fantastic achievement for our club and really puts Foxhills on the map. Jane has had a superb year as captain of the successful Centenary Bowl team, winner of the Ladies singles, the Phyldon trophy with Richard, winner of the Ladies weekday singles and runner up in the Adult Junior with Conor Reynolds. Well Played Jane – all that hard has paid off!
The S.L.C.G.A. Centenary Bowl competition is a Scratch Knock-Out Competition between representative teams of five players of handicaps 10 and above with home and away matches in each round, until the final round. The competition started in 2000 and Foxhills have an amazing record in this competition, winning the event 3 times and being runner’s up twice in the 6 years we have been taking part . Jane Walker was the captain this year and had a squad of ten players with handicaps between 10 and 13 to call upon for the matches. The weather forecast for 11th October, the day of the finals, was for sunny weather but didn’t quite live up to its promise with most of the day being a bit grey and drizzly. However, the dull colour of the day was quite the opposite to the quality and excitement of the matches, played this year at Effingham Golf Course. The quality of golf, as always in this event which is played off scratch, is very high and at this stage of the competition there is very little room for error. All five of the matches were very closely fought and kept the spectators biting their nails until the very end with two of the matches, which were all square after 18 holes, having to fight on over extra holes. As the final match drew to its nerve-fraying conclusion, our Captain, Jane Walker, held her nerve to win her match on the 18th hole ! All of the matches were played in great spirit, with Hankley Common, who beat us in the final last year, being very gracious in defeat!
Our super stars, Committee member Colin Smith and his partner our scratch champion, Jamie Puddle, won their semi final and then the final on Sunday at Hindhead. They are now the Surrey Foursomes Champions, a title we hope they will defend next year. This is the first time our Men’s representatives have been so successful and all credit to their fantastic play and commitment. It is brilliant to see our teams doing so well. Many Congratulations both!
The Adult competition was followed by the Junior event. There were some very good scores posted but the net 68 posted by Captain Judy Searle proved to be a winning one. Her playing companions Hari Sethi was second and Robert Vaenerberg was fourth. The Junior event was won by Matt Barnes. Sunday 27th September 2009Captain’s Drive took place last Sunday on another brilliantly sunny day. Our courses were packed, with the members who had watched our new captain, Dave Rogers, strike not one but four balls, if you include the football he kicked off the first tee. A lifelong Brentford supporter he was guided to the tee by the club mascot, wearing the club strip identifying him as Captain, with his number “1”. This was an opportunity for the entire club to welcome him and then enjoy a texas scramble in teams of four. The winners on Longcross were The Puddles, playing with our handicap secretaries Mike Wraight and Hilary Hart, with a remarkable score of three eagles and eleven birdies. His charity, Great Ormond Street Hospital Charity, was launched with an introduction from Alan Burnett and the area fund raiser Claire. He has immediately raised considerable funds thanks to the efforts of the raffle sellers and the generosity of three club members who have each purchased a privileged parking space for a month at a time.
After over six months of competition most of our knock out finals were concluded today. The O’Connor Bowl was the longest match and was finally won by Jeff Fifield who beat Iqbal Dhanji on the 38th hole. The other Men’s singles event, The Rees Trophy was won by David Sargent who beat Martin Williams. Jane Walker won the Dormy House Plate, Sharon Puddle as runner up in this event, the Ladies singles. The Moran Plate was a battle between Amy Ha and Sue Eggleton and was only decided on the 37th when Amy parred the hole and Sue did not. Levi Ball beat his older brother Steve to win the Junior Scratch singles, while Matt Barnes was victorious in the handicap junior singles with Hugh Mooney as runner- up. The Mid-week foursomes was won by Carolyn Charbine partnered by Susan Hussain; Chris Webb and Brian Selby were runners up. In Division I Pairs Mike Kirilloff and Paul Graham beat Kirstine Mayall and Alan Phillips, while in Division II Gary Adams and Ruby Murray were the winners over Andy Goldie and Martin Sargeant. Jane and her husband Richard Walker won the PhyldonTrophy with a victory over Linda Rich and Andy Goldie, which was played over 36 holes on Friday. The John Olrog, Singles Scratch has to be decided, as has the Adult Junior Foursomes. Congratulations to all our finalists. |
