The day was clear, bright and sunny, a truly wonderful late
summer's day as the eight Gog Elders were joined by eight JOG Seniors for coffee
and introductions on that 13th September morning. Having
been alerted to roadwork closures in advance, JOG Seniors set off in plenty of
time to meet the 08:00 rendezvous, ready for battle to commence promptly at
08:30 on the Wandlebury Course.
First off were the two team captains and
organisers, driving up the hill and out of sight, well not quite but still good
enough for JOG Seniors to be the first to surmount the summit and draw first
blood on hole number 1. A good omen?
The course winds and twists around the countryside with
stunning vistas and views but also making it impossible to keep in touch with
other team members so on this occasion there were no opportunities for covert
hand-signals and whispered, “How are you doing?” so it was not until the close
that we knew the result of our day's endeavours.
As the afternoon drew to a close and following a meal all
agreed was excellent and very well presented, the two Captains stood to make
their speeches and announce the results, which sadly this time, with a 6/2 win
for GOG Elders, levelled the series for this year, so it is congratulations to
GOG Elders and see in you 2020.
