Home Match v Harpenden Common - 7th May 2019

Captain David and myself, playing their captain of the day, Peter Rushbrook playing off 5, and their organiser Brian Baker playing off 20, thought we were going to be up against it when the first hole was halved. We then won the second and halved the third and thought we had a game on. However we go on to win four holes on the trot and with another half and win for us we are 5 up at the turn, then a win, half and win meant we won by a dog licence (7 & 6 to those that are too young to know otherwise). Their captain Peter was unable to get to grips with the speed of our greens and vowed that they would get their own back at Harpenden with their very quick greens.

With other results going as follows –

Sam Standen / John Ellary won 3&1
Keith Fuller / Gerry Degaute lost 1 down
David Lincoln / Richard W-Thorne halved
Jim Peacock / Graham McKay won 6&4 in their dream machine buggy
Steve Collins / Brian Bullen won 3&2
David Crosby / Keith Blankley won 4&3
Terry McSweeney / Michael Newstead lost 3&2

Team result JOG 5 1/2. Harpenden 2 1/2

Nearest the pin winners were  JOG Brian Bullen and Harpenden Mike Gillis.

The golf was followed by a carvery and a desert of bread & butter pudding, everyone left feeling well satisfied.
