Inter-club friendly v Northenden at Home, Friday 22 September

Match Reporter: Bob Mycock, CoD

Once again our Seniors Team assembled for our penultimate Match of the season to take on Northenden.

Following a few days of torrential rain, it was a relief all 18 Holes were open and playable, huge credit to the greenstaff.

Captained for second time this season by the inimitable Bobby Mycock the instruction was to avoid defeat at all costs, no prisoners taken.

However, with all the Teams bar one in the Clubhouse we were 4-3 down, only Paddy Moran and Phil Ormesher to come in and save the day. They did not let us down, with Paddy sinking a 20 foot putt to Win their game and an honourable 4-4 draw.

The Match was played in a great spirit and followed by a lovely meal and a few friendly drinks, and of course some light entertainment in the form of another side splitting joke, courtesy of your CoD.

It was also my pleasure to Present, Alan Ranscombe with a Club Jumper and acknowledge this true gentleman’s 80th Birthday

And finally, we gather once again this Friday for our last match against our local rivals Warrington, it would be great to finish with a resounding Win and reward John Armstrong for all of his commitment, effort, and organising this Year, a big thank you from all of us

Bottle of wine comp, 22 September

The recent bad weather, and the rain and wind on the day resulted in an unusually small number of cards submitted: only 9.

Winner was Sammy Lee with 28 points (CPO over Grahame Brickell who also had 28 points).

Handicaps

The “handicap subcommittee” seems to have become a neglected child. However, the good news is a Foster parent has put himself forward, brimming with ideas and enthusiasm, and past experience, not least ideas for better communication. Watch this space! Let us hope that we have general agreement across the committee and the senior section has we go into the Autumn league.
