Ron Thornton cannot stop winning, and is first in Div 2 league for the third time in a row. I think that, at the next handicap-committee meeting, Ron could be heading for the biggest senior handicap reduction in recorded history! Alan Ranscombe has also posted two successive runner-up scores behind Ron. Well played guys!

‘Happy Mondays’ Report

Reporter: Peter Broady

Yet another senior moment on Monday! Six teams entered the competition, 3 teams played off the correct format, 3 teams played off the wrong format. All scores should have been added together then divided by the number of players in the team, as email instructions.

And so all agreed that the game should be void. I have the cards and money for those who left early.

Tee booking schedule for tomorrow (Thursday 6th April)
