It was Autumn when we played here previously and after the amazing weather of St. Patrick’s Day yesterday, we weren’t disappointed and had a lovely sunny day, albeit a tad breezy. There were a few Guinness-heads lurking so we hoped the fresh air and exercise would clear those hangovers quickly. It did! The course was, overall, in good condition. The greens were fast and a little sandy but as they are so undulating, you have to have your wits about you.
40 headed off with a solo guest and the scores were tidy, just like the course:
Gold: Steve Webb (38 points)
Silver: Will Fenn (34 points)
Bronze: Martin Readman (40 points and best score of the day)
The Twos Pot was halved between Roger Webb and Humphrey Kelleher and the Nearest the Pins winning a sleeve of balls each were Darren Hancock (2nd), Rod East (6th), John Simmons (10th) and Humphrey Kelleher (14th). Good Job Guys. Rita East received the coveted “McBride Bottle” with a score of an age she wished she were again… The football card pot was won taken by Colin “Smudger” Smith with Bolton.
