After such a long dry spell, the dawn broke on the day after
the deluge to be greeted with a light drizzle which would be interspersed with
sunny spells and the odd heavy downpour. But spirits were not dampened by the
weather (Ouch!) with a field of 76 competing on the John O’Gaunt course for the
Bailiff Shield.
Nevertheless, after much course work with tyned and sanded
greens, wet fairways and changeable breezes, it was a day for avoiding dropping
shots rather than tearing up the course.
In the event there were 3 competitors
tied for 2nd to 4th place all on 35 points. Peter Jarman
took the unlucky 4th place and was out of the prizes; Steve Cooper
came 3rd and Ian Simpson came 2nd.
However, the honours
went to “Mr Reliable” Vernon Toms with a very creditable 36 pts.
The Raffle made £173 and 10 pence. Nobody
owned up to the 10 pence.
