Organiser Jim Kerr reports on the day’s action
It is with a heavy heart that I sit here and write this epilogue to a heavy home defeat.
The only thing that cheered me up was the thought that not many other clubs’ Senior members would throw their game for their Captain and organiser and lose to make Algy and myself feel better at only getting a half.
We can’t blame the weather … it was a perfect day for golf.
Nigel and his team presented the course in perfect condition..
Our game started with me getting a chip-in par to take the first hole. We were 3 up at the turn.
We went down the 18th on dormie and lost to an 8ft put for a par.
On reflection like all these matches it was a good day’s golf.
There were a few mumblings about golf handicaps with one guy getting 23 shots but starting bogey par par. Others had similar tales of woe. I think the new handicap system only plays out on medal play . With Stableford or better ball games every body can play most holes reasonably well and therefore use their shots better than the lower handicappers.
I think the important point is to make sure you get the best out of the day and the meal and banter usually makes up for any disappointment.
I have to thank the bar and catering staff for their service and the quality of the meal was excellent.
The only thing left to write is the result. We lost 7-1 … and our 1 was 2 halfs.
Roll on the 28th and lets hammer them at Aspley Guise. Come on J.O.G.🏌👍🏌
