The match was played in excellent
weather for late September and the course was in good condition, a decent
growth of grass on the fairways and greens that rolled well. The 12:00 tee off
did mean that we missed the early morning traffic, but the late dinner meant
that proceedings were not completed until 7:00pm. S.Beds rules do not allow 2
tee starts before midday.
No matches were halved
and all produced a clear cut result.
The first match, Jim
Kerr (standing in for Fred due to holiday) and Nick Seeley (organiser) was a
4&2 win for S.Beds. After being 3 up after 6 holes we conspired to lose 7
of the next 8 holes due to a combination of poor play from ourselves and a run
of pars from the opposition.
In the 2nd match Bob
Anderson, playing with Terry McSweeney actually lost. After all his excellent
play of late I suppose a setback is expected eventually.
The 3rd match was a
6&4 win for Brian Bullen and Bill Walker, I heard comments from the S.Beds
players about this 2 handicap golfer who was playing off 17, we have to put up
with it every week!
The 4th match was a good
5&4 win for Malcolm Falconer & Bernard Gurney.
Match 5, Jim Peacock and
Ken Doggrell was a 4&2 loss.
John O'Gaunt won the
last 3 matches, Keith Fuller & Alban MacDonald by 4&3, Colin Newbury
& Michael Newstead by 2&1 and John Ellary & Geoff Beck by 4&2 due
to front 9 heroics from John.
Nick Seeley - Organiser.
