WEDNESDAY 6 May, stroke and Mick McGrann ‘Bag-day’: Bill Dunn nett 68 on a countback, runner-up D. Murch 68. Balls down to 73. NTP: 9th R. Hendy, 17th T. Bickley.
Saturday 9 May: The members played the prestigious foursomes championships, a time-honoured board event on our golfing calendar. This is played as a gross event, (off the stick), and a nett event, where handicaps play a part. The winners on the day were Paul-Mason and Jon-Cross, with a most impressive 27-hole score of 112. Both of them have won this event before, both together and with other partners. Well done to both Paul and Jon. The handicap nett event went to Gerry Hadfield and David Murch. They scored 103.45, after their combined handicap was taken from their gross score. A personal aside to this win is that Gerry is now well into his eighties, but still playing good golf. Obviously, with David’s long-hitting, and Gerry’s clever play around the greens, they combined well enough to take the title. So, you will be on the board now, Gerry. Congrats to you and David on a fine achievement. NTP: 3rd N. Cross, 5th S. Campbell, 9th T. Bickley, 12th Jon Cross, 15th John Hall.
