Hon Sec David
managed to squeeze everyone in to the competition and so 86 woolly hatted
mitten wearing seniors braved the Carthegena to play for their turkey dinners.
Nigel had taken us
off temporary greens and we were able to play to the frost holes without fear
of bunker trouble.

Graham McKay was
thanked for being organiser and special thanks was given to Hon Treasurer Les
Bolland for buying all the fayre presents, taking the trouble to seek discounts
and bargain offers ,and sorting nearly all the background work to make the
competition a success.
Les also reprised
his recent Santa role (without the red togs) by visiting all our friends and
staff at/or about the clubhouse/greens to deliver Christmas wine as a thank you
from the Section as well as to give a Christmas gratuity to the bar/kitchen staff.

The raffle raised a
tidy sum of £172 which will go into the pot for the charity of the 2018 Seniors
Captain Jim Kerr who will announce his charity at the AGM.
We didn’t get any
reports of anyone playing from a bunker but a few silly old elves put their score in
the computer as his stableford points and not gross score!
Mention was made
that Paul Marshall eagled the 10th hole by sinking his 8 iron
approach to the green which clearly helped him to come joint 4th with
Steve Cooper, Colin Newbury, John Sandland and Chris Roy.
As it was Seniors
Captain Fred's last competition he took the opportunity to thank everyone for
supporting him and the section during the year and to wish all a happy healthy
Christmas and Happy New Year.
