Match at Home against Davyhulme Golf Club – Friday 22 August

Reporter: Trevor Williamson (CoD)

Lymm were victorious in the return match against Davyhulme Park Golf Club, coming out on top 5 – 3. Having lost  5 – 3 at Davyhulme means it was truly an honourable draw over the two matches.

Thankfuly it was a little cooler than of late, with only a few drops of rain threatening to spoil our day.

Some great winning scores were posted by:  
Willson & Goodman 7 & 5
Lomas & Simpson    6 & 5
Pigott & Thornton    5 & 3

Despite the score and in acknowledgment of the recent lack of rain, our visitors were complimentary about the general condition of the course and hospitality received. The delicious steak & ale pie and raspberry cheesecake went down well too!

Away match at Helsby Golf Club

Match Reporter: John Armstrong (CoD)

Glorious weather. There were a couple of brief squally showers, thankfully too brief to spoil the day. The golf course was in excellent condition, both the fairways and greens. 

The meal of sausages in a chilli sauce was very nice, and well served by polite staff.

The result was a reverse of the score at Lymm earlier in the season. This time the honourable draw was in favour of Helsby 5 matches to 3. The winning pairs were:

John Armstrong and Stuart Baird: Won 5 & 3
Mark Pickles and Mike Bennett: Won 1 up
Alan Burton and Phil Ormesher: Won 1 up
