Four Ball Better Ball - Tuesday 15th

On a rather wintry day that was just miserable rather than wet 72 of the Seniors' finest did battle over the JOG course in a four ball better ball competition. Everyone enjoyed themselves, even if it did take much longer than anticipated. I suppose it was a case of them enjoying themselves so much, they couldn't bear to come off very quickly. I hope they will improve next time !!

So, the scores varied between 26 and 43 and is only due to the random draw applied by the Hon Sec making some partnerships more equal than others !

Colin Fox and Steve Clark were in third place with 39 points. Derek Young and Patrick Smith were in second place with 42 points and the winners were Derek Page and Jim Kerr with 43 points, well done!

Just a note to mention that you MUST check your cards with the other pair and again when you enter it into the computer, as any mistakes cannot be rectified.

Ladies and Seniors Greensome - Thurs. 10th March.

Just about 100 Ladies and Seniors took part in the Greensomes Competition on the Carthagena. The weather was not all that good but no rain and not too windy. Everybody enjoyed the day and woe betide any of the Seniors who didn't taste their playing partner's offering to the Pastries and Cakes table. As ever, the Ladies did us proud with some fantastic offerings, which were well appreciated by all.

Scoring did not seem as good as in previous years due, in part, to the rather bobbly state of the greens, which seemed to have a mind of their own once you hit the putt !

So, to the winners. In third place with 41 points were Pamela Dean and Phil White. In second place with 42 points were Nikki Jackson and Richard Cobb and the winners were Adrienne Massey and Steve Cooper with 43 points.

Many thanks are due to Les Bolland who did all sorts of mixing and matching including on the day and some great raffle prizes.

Over £370 was raised for the two Captains' Charities, well done everyone.
