Seniors at home to Cambridge Country Club April 26 2022

Match organiser Derek Young reports

We took on the seniors of the newly renamed Cambridge Country Club (formerly Bourn) on the Carthagena Course which I can report is in excellent condition with the greens being as good as I can remember them.

Highlights of the day were Jonathan Lean almost scoring a hole in one on the thirteenth and Peter Wade winning the “nearest the pin” on the eighth. There were various stories of our opponents’ good fortune and numerous accounts of them hitting trees and the ball ending up on the fairway. 

The meal was Beef Bourguignon which everyone seemed to enjoy.

Well onto the result. As a team the JOG Seniors were less than successful and I have to report that we suffered a white wash. Our only hope is that we have a return match in July when we play for “The Scroll” which they have held now for a number of years. I will try to pick a more competitive team!

On a brighter note and as time was marching on, our Captain Algy Grimes gave up the practice of inflicting us with one of his jokes. I'm sure its only temporary.

I’m not sure the result was totally down to our lack of competitiveness 😉
