Seniors' Rex Bullock Trophy - 24th April 2018


We are considering a class action case against the BBC Weather Centre following their appalling failure to provide dry and warm conditions for our first Singles competition of the year on Tuesday 24th April. We should not be subjected to such conditions when we are focussing on winning. Such conditions should be limited to "The North" - they are used to it. Which is probably why a Geordie won! Pat Gilgallon scored 40 points (even after dropping 3) to lift the Rex Bullock Trophy but was punished severely for his audacity with a 1.2 shot reduction in handicap to 16.6. Serves him right! He must have been driving very well indeed - hahahaha! (Ask Pat if you don't get that.)
Winner - Pat Gilgallon
Ominously Malcolm Falconer (38) and Peter Imray (36)  were second and third playing off 8 and 10 respectively, Peter beating three others with the same score on countback. The handicapping system obviously doesn't work! What hope is there for up and coming golfers like me ... did I hear someone laugh?
Second - Malcolm Falconer

Terry McSweeney was nearest the pin on the 8th and received a bottle of wine for his efforts.

Anyway, in all other respects the day was dull - no incidents - not even with incorrect scorecards. Did I hear someone laugh again? That's bullying. Congratulations Pat, Malcolm and Peter. Just you wait until the Annual Medal on the 1st May."
