John O’Gaunt Seniors opened the match programme with a creditable performance at Bedford & County Golf Club, which included a hole in one for our team. Organiser David Price reports on the day.
The match was played in good spirits on a sunny day. Algy & I unfortunately lost our match against their Captain Roger and his partner Dave 3 and 2, Dave sinking single putts on the last five holes to secure their win.
The overall score was 4 1/2 to 3 1/2, which was a creditable result for the first match of the year.
Vice Captain Jonathan Lean said: "We played well". So they did. He and Keith Perry won their match 2 and 1.
Other winners were Andy Brown and Richard Young who won 8 and 6 (.against one player) and Nick Schumann and Malcolm Lee who won 5 and 4. Barry Donavan and Terry Sweeney halved their match, which left Chris Roy and Len Greaves, Colin Newbury and Michael Newstead and Andy Shilton and Jim Kerr as losers.
The most notable event of the day was that Terry Sweeney achieved a Hole in One on the fifth and Algy played across the ditch on the seventh by running the ball over the bridge, a very difficult shot from the position that he started from, which was the middle of the fairway.
All in all, a good day and a fine effort away from home with the promise of better things to come.
