Rex Bullock Trophy - Carthagena Course, 26th April.

On a very cold day with a flurry of wintry showers, over 80 Seniors did battle for the Rex Bullock Trophy. The Carthagena course was in fine condition and even the hail showers didn't spoil the play. A tricky wind did upset a few scores but all enjoyed the day. Scoring was a bit of a curate's egg with the top four well ahead of the rest.

The Winner was Peter Grimes with 39 points on count back over Mike Tomblin in second place. George Turner beat Peter Imray on count back for third place with 38 points.

Winner: Peter Grimes

Runner-up: Mike Tomblin

Third Place: George Turner

Away match v Aspley Guise, 21st April

I am pleased to report that we had great day. Weather was good and the golf was better. I am glad to report that Captain Jim was fit to play. The score was 6 - 2 . The Willmots were perfect hosts and the meal was excellent. All in all a perfect Seniors match day.

Away Match v Dunstable Downs. 14th April.

Captain Jim had to pull out at the last minute. Vice Captain Fred was a good stand-in. We won the match 5-3. Good company, good food, good weather (mostly!) 

Everyone happy.

Home match v Aspley Guise, Carthagena - Tues,12 April

It was an eventful day. Steve Clark won nearest the pin for the Home team but was taken ill at lunch (nothing to do with the food !!). He was tended to by staff before a para medic attended. He has since recovered. Captain Jim played very well to lead the team home to a 7 to 1 win. Due to a communications failure the match was late starting but it did mean that the players missed the rain. There was some complaint of slow play. The evidence lay in the fact the first group were in well ahead of the rest and lunch had to be put back a couple of times but was enjoyed by all except poor Steve.

Away match v Beds and County, 29th March

A enjoyable day was had for all, sunshine but cold, though no rain, the course was in good condition which was all credit to the greenstaff, because the day before, all but 3 holes were closed. The halfway house was appreciated and a two tee start speeded things up.

Everybody was in agreement that we were very lucky with the day and a superb chilli con carne with good service and hospitality and the day ended with some gentle banter between the two captains afterwards.

The result 4.5 to 3.5 to the J O G !
