A total of 34 pairs teed it up for this year's M&G Day, the guests coming from 24 different clubs from as far afield as Sheringham, Christchurch and Guildford.
Although the weather was not kind to those who battled out for the first hour, the later starters had it a little easier. The rain eased considerably which eventually provided some reasonable golfing conditions - as some of the scores demonstrated.
Results of the various skills competitions were:
For Guests:
Longest Drive on 9th was Martin Lawrence of Beds & County
Nearest the pin in Two on 11th was Fred Gardner of St Neots
Nearest thePin on 16th was John Harvey of Brickendon Grange
For Members:
Nearest thePin on 4th was Brian Williams
Longest Drive on 9th was Derek Weller
Nearest the pin in Two on 12th was Bernard Gurney
The winners on the day and new holders of the Whitbread Trophy were Derek Page and his guest Barry Sullivan (The Bedfordshire) with an impressive 46 points. Second place went to John Wade and John Marsom (Beds & County) on 42 points. Third (on countback) were Brian Williams and Martin Seaholme (Letchworth) with 40 points.
Proceeds from the raffle amounted to £280 - a record for Member & Guest Day. So special thanks to Chris and Nicky for such a good selling job and thanks to all who contributed.
Finally, thanks to starters Ian McAinsh and Bill Burrows for helping the day to go off smoothly.
