The Ken Robinson Scramble - 16th May 2017

The Ken Robinson Scramble was played on the Carthegena Course on the 16^th May in sunny and humid conditions which was a window of nice weather in a week forecast with rain. The competition was played to a slightly different format than usual but the pace of play was generally very good although there were mixed reports about the format which was not enjoyed by all.

There were 80 entrants and some very strong teams which was reflected in the scoring. The section were able to welcome some virgin seniors to the competition Colman O’ Toole, Phil  Cottier and Anthony Bell.

In 4^th place and just outside the prizes by 0.1 were Graham McKay, George Turner, Harry Wakefield and Phil White

In 3^rd place with a gross 64 and nett 57.2 was Alan Curtis (who couldn’t stay for the presentation)Colin Fox David Gauge and Dave Henderson(recovered from recent ill health and back to his chirpy self).

In 2^nd place with a gross 62 and nett 55.5 were the OBE’s (over bloody eighty)pairing of Alan Fowler and Robin Smith both doyens of the club and still playing excellent golf with David Lincoln and John Ellary.

However in 1^st place  with another impressive gross score of 61 and nett 55 was Derek Page, Steve Cooper (also restored to health after a heart scare) Steve Ackrill (playing in his last seniors competition before moving to pastures new up north) and our blogspot organiser and seniors photographer Algy Grimes. Algy putted like a demon or perhaps like Gerry Gentle did last year when his team won.
