Rain, rain go away was the tune running through my mind as I drove
to Clapham, perhaps it will be rained off but, no game on. Wrapped up to face
the elements we teed off against Captain David and his partner John who,
through some fluke, won the 1st hole, after that it who fought back.
Gerry Gentle &
Tony Goodson won 2up
Keith was nip and tuck all the way round, and we found ourselves dormy
two at the 17th, a chipped in birdie (by the John Ellary) left it down to the
18th. Unfortunately with Captain Jim’s 3rd shot going towards the pro shop and
never to be seen again we lost by 2.
There were other winners;
Keith Fuller & Neil
Pinnington won 2&1
Richard
Westergreen-Thorne & Bernard Gurney won 3&1
Peter Imray &
Peter Grimes Lost by 1down - On telling of the JOG loss,
Ron Etheridge (B&C) told us that this was the hardest game he had had in a
long time, them coming back from 3 down.
We all enjoyed a lovely meal and were entertained by the Captains with
their Jokes & Poems. Oh yes, the rain stopped half way round and the Result:
5&3 win to JOG.
A comment from Captain Jim – “Well
done everybody 100% so far 2 matches 2 wins. If you see John Ellary and he is
looking for me I am down on the practice area chipping and putting”.
