Texas Scramble with
Heydon Ladies - Wed 13th May 2026
Breaking News from Heydon Members – 13th May 2026
Apparently President Trump has received reports about our Texas Scramble rules, adding to earlier concerns regarding some sort of trouble with moving barrels of oil. He's trying to light a fire under us, however as always, he doesn't know how to do it himself.
Anyway onto the important stuff, Heydon Grange Venerables joined the Ladies on a rainy and blustery day to play a Texas Scramble, with fanatastic company, and not so nice weather.
Following golf we were treated to catering consisting of an exquisite and broad range of sandwiches.
Vens and Ladies all enjoyed the day, not so much the weather though.
The days results:
2nd place - Carol Miller, Mandy Handscombe, Iain Reid and Bob Reich - all winning a sleeve of golf balls
1st place - Anne Peers, Penny Wiles, Gary Raynsford & Dave Sephton - all received a bottle of wine

Texas Scramble with
Heydon Ladies - Wed 21st May 2025
Due to a mix of holidays, illness and injuries, we had a somewhat depleted field of players for this years Ven's / ladies scramble event.
However, for those that did participate, an enjoyable social event; good company, good weather, and some post golf chat about what might have been if only 6 more of those putts had dropped in..
After tucking in to an ample selection of sandwiches and chips supplied by Mrs A, Deb presented prizes to those teams who did manage to drop those putts.
Thanks to Richard for organising, Andrew for the photos, Deb for coming along to present the prizes, Dave for pulling this all together on the website, and to all the ladies and Ven's who supported the event.
The results were as follows:
2nd place with a nett score of 64.4 were Malcolm K-F, Bob Reich and Deb Tweddle
1st place with a nett score of 63.3 were Wendy Osborne, Charles Compton, Andrew Wyatt & Paul Kidman

Texas Scramble Competition with
Heydon Ladies Wed 17th May 2023
Today the Ladies and the Venerable’s came together to compete in a mixed Texas Scrabble competition.
We managed to turn out 10 teams of four which were organised with a view to establishing the best level playing field possible based on handicaps, not an easy task which was undertaken by Richard Gardener and our appreciation goes to him.
The weather was kind to us and it can be said, the playing conditions on our improving course were near perfect.
Thanks goes to Mrs Aktar for organising the buffet which everyone enjoyed. Thanks also to Marilyn Symons and Steve Board for handling the food money.
I know our photographer for the day Dave Sephton will knock them into shape on our website, hopefully showing everyone’s best side.
The results announced by our Ladies Captain Trisha Esplin, and Richard Gardner were as follows
3rd place with 70.1 points were:-
Dave Sephton, Cyril Harris, Deb Bowes, Stella Bore.
