‘Round 5 of 9’, Winter League

Match Reporter: Paul Foster

Regrettably, last Friday’s round has been declared null and void, as there were three winter greens in use.

Seniors’ rules state;

“If 3 or more greens are on “temporary” positions, irrespective of everything else, the round will be deemed to have been cancelled”

A bottle of Chateaux De Lymm will be awarded to Dave Craggs, who had the best score of the day.

2’s recorded on the day were achieved by Paul Lennie and Peter Broady, both at the Somme hole (9th).

With the shortened course and some elephant sized holes, there were some impressive scores on show Friday, with eleven players scoring under par and only two of 34 who played unable to reach the zone.

The day started badly for Steve Bramall, whose wheels fell off, literally, on the walk up to the 10th tee. He arrived at the tee with just a dust cover off one of his trolley wheels, no trolley, no clubs. Meaning a sprint back to the pro shop to hire a trolley (and of course he had no cash) then a sprint back to catch us up on the 10th winter green. Unsurprisingly Steve didn’t stop breathing like a Grand National winner until the 5th hole..!

So no change in the division tables or handicaps…Boooo……!!!!

Please note, the winter session is now best 5 from 8.

Happy Mondays, 12th Feb

The day was cool with slight breeze but it stayed dry. 

12 holes open – with the 8th hole being particularly generous for points scored – due in the main to the tee being moved forward, onto the fairway and beyond the humps

Game – Best 2 from 3

7 teams played – 27 players 

Winners: Dave Craggs, Mark Pickles and Charlie Heath – 58 points

2nd: Paul Collins, Dave Meir, Mike Pigott and Trevor Williamson – 55 points

Note 27 players took part – only £26 in the pot – would the missing player please see Charlie Heath to complete his prize money from the winnings total. Thank you.
