Congratulations to the winners and runners-up who will all receive a prize at the Seniors Annual Dinner.
Christmas started early for the 60 seniors taking part in the Arthur Lucas Cup, with a table laden with goodies and a guaranteed prize for everyone.
A two-tee start enabled everyone to get together in the clubhouse without waiting too long to share the spoils.
The day began with a sharp frost, but by the time most teed off it had turned into a very pleasant Autumn day.
Congratulations to winner Andy Shilton who romped home with 40 points, including two birdies and nine pars. His playing partners were quick to point out that Andy's standout hole was the par 3 13th on Carthagena where his drive ended up beside the 7th tee box, his second just reached the green and he sank a 40ft putt for par. That's how to win!
In second place, with 38 points, was “new recruit” Paul Life playing his first competition with the seniors and in third and fourth place respectively, also with 38 points, were Ralph Black and Rob Anderson.
The ever-popular mixed scramble between the Seniors and Ladies took place in sunny conditions on the Carthagena course with 20 teams of four competing.
Congratulations to winners Pauline Aubigne, Susan College, Malcolm Lee and Andy Shilton, who came home with a score of net 53, helped by 10 pars and four birdies.
In second place, on net 54, were Sue Bassindale, Leila Shafarenko, Nigel Underwood and Fred Williams.
Beaten into third place on countback, also with 54, were Brian Gill, Carolyn Gobey, Shujuan Milne and Michael Newstead.
Commiserations to Paul Hammond, Kate Price, Janet McNair and Seniors Blog Editor Tony Lloyd who just missed out on a podium place with 55. (See guys I told you we would get a mention! Ed)
The raffle raised £329 to be split between the chosen charities of the Ladies’ and Seniors’ Captains.
