The Prizes |
We had 66 competitors but Keith Fuller hurt his knee with
his first shot and had to retire.
The weather was a tad warmer than of late but there was a
bit of a chill and at least it was dry.
There was no entry fee and this boosted the raffle receipts
which raised just over £200 for our charity.
Graham McKay was thanked, for again, being the organiser of
the event and was presented with a bottle of wine.
Normally the top players are presented in reverse order but
as the nature of the competition means that the higher up in the field the
sooner you get to pick from the table of goodies Kevin Barbour (a relative new
boy and first time winner) was presented with the Cup and given a keepsake
trophy. He then had first pick of the table with a score of 41 points playing off a handicap of
21 which will be cut in due course.
Winner - Kevin Barbour |
Second on countback with 37 points was Ned Yorke who
couldn’t stay for the presentation due to a family bereavement,
In third place and still on a fine run of form was immediate
past seniors captain Jim Peacock who narrowly pipped Terry McSweeney also on 37
points.
The best gross score, but only being able to take his turn at the table, was Phil White with a
74 and 36 points playing off a handicap of 5 .
There were a few reports of misfortune and bad luck etc from
the field of players and Bob Anderson was mentioned because he chipped in for a
2 on the 13th but that was in a frost hole on the green!
After those that remained had collected their prize from the
table we had left a packet of rubber tees and a Magibrush! They
have been consigned to the seniors cupboard for later collection?
