Captain’s Day

A very good turnout of 68 participants enjoyed a bright, windy, showery day on the John O’Gaunt course. Scores were not outstanding. Ian Beatty’s excellent 40 points was the exception. His good score was triggered by a pitch in at the first for 5 points! Well done Ian.  Geoff Beck was nearest the pin in two on the 11th hole, Peter Jarman was nearest the pin at the 16th and Phil Belsham was nearest the line on the 17th.  Click H E R E . for the full results list.
