Autumn League – Round 1 of 8

Reporter: Paul Foster

The first round of the Autumn session brought a fine, clear day with sunny spells, only 12 holes were open due to recent wet weather, which brought the need for the use of the dreaded mats. Steve ‘the actor’ Barlow showed off his brand new badminton court sized mat to all on the car park, much to the amusement of his fellow players, needless to say by the 4^th hole “it was going in the bin”..!! Steve managed to kick it further than he hit the ball on the 10^th fairway. A replacement normal sized mat was ordered on line as soon as we got back to the clubhouse…

After the recent major shake-up of handicaps, there was only 1 incorrect handicap used, well done all for checking up on the new handicap list.

There were 42 players in total, 27 from Division 1 & 15 from Division 2

11 played below their handicap
6 played to their handicap
25 played over their handicap

Two 2s were recorded, Andrew Cox & Paul Foster both on hole 2

So to the all important results.
