A noticeably much colder start than our last trip to this parkland course causing a delay to our tee off time. We finally got off about a half hour later, with some cheeky visitors naïvely trying to inveigle themselves with our Secretary – she wasn’t having any of it. Their rationale? Because “our tee off time is 11am” – ehm tuff? We had the Starter backing us up, thankfully! We have all waited, now you can also.
Full capacity of 48 teeing off up the dog leg left. We were so eager to tee off quickly, we were concertinaing a bit, but it soon evened out. The course was looking a bit brown and dry and didn’t seem to curry favour with a lot of the group when we got back in, but the price reflected the course conditions, in our opinion. “Personally”, I quite like the course.
Once all the groups were back, it was considerably much colder sitting on the terrace than from the lovely warm sun we had experienced for most of the round. We had our initial second round Pairs Knockouts (aka “Paris Knockers”) competition with Dave Rowe and Mick Pryke beating Michael Lenihan and Andrew Jones. Well done guys.
Not a Two to be had today, so a nice little rollover for next week! NTPs were Guy Wade-Palmer, Steve Davies, Peter Spinks and Darren Strugnell. Best guest was Nigel Wilks and the football card was won by Mick Cook with Portsmouth.
Gold: Darren Strugnell (39 points)
Silver: Colin Smith (36 points)
Bronze: Sandra “Officer” Dibble (41 points and best overall score for the day)
POV: All the winners (and Abacus “winners”) happened to be Committee Members…… “Nothing to see here, move along please – LOL!” A late drive home but accompanied by a most stunning winter sunset. Another drive north next week to Font de Llop.
Winners pictured (L–R) Mick Pryke (Abacus), Darren Strugnell (Gold & President), Sandra “Officer” Dibble (Bronze), Lee Eastman (Captain), Tony Smale (Needy Professional Photobomber) and Colin Smith (Silver).
