For the return match against Peter Gleason and his team from
St Neots Golf Club we were unfortunately without the playing expertise of our
match organiser Graham McKay. We were however fortunate to still have his
efficient organisation and he was at the club bright and early to ensure
everything was in place and things ran smoothly.
As I was denied the services of Mr McKay's playing expertise
I was fortunate to be able to call on the admirable skill of our Hon Sec David
Crosby.
However much we tried we never quite got to grips with our
opponents, as it is always hard giving shots to somebody who hits it 20 yards
further than you, and we had to concede defeat. However it was a close and
friendly game and we withdrew to the clubhouse to await the following results.
One of the joys of being captain is that you get two chances
to win, and in this case after losing my individual match, my team came to my
rescue to make me and my colleagues winners by a score of
Five matches to three.
Pairings for the day were:-
David Gauge & David Crosby
Ian Simpson & Jim Peacock
Jonathan Leane & Peter Jarman
Steve Clark & Michael Newstead
Sam Standen & Colin Newbury
Barry Donavan & Keith Blankley
Peter Grimes & Jim Kerr
Fred Williams & John Ellary
Jim Kerr was a double winner as he also picked up the
nearest the pin on 4.
Dave Gauge
Seniors Captain
