Seniors Captain Algy Grimes congratulates Christopher Walker on winning the Holmwood Plate.
The senior section knockouts are now complete after months of keen competition.Congratulations to the winners, commiserations to the runners-up and to the rest of us? Better luck next year.
The first to be completed was the Foursomes in which Paul Clark and Fergus Moynihan beat Alban Macdonald and Tony Goodson.
Ian Riches and Clive Bassindale met in the final of the Green Tilley … even though Ian had got his days mixed up and played four holes in the roll up on Carthagena before it was pointed out to him that Clive was waiting in the car park to play their match on John O ‘Gaunt.
Maybe the extra four holes took their toll as Ian, after being four up after nine, was eventually defeated on the 18th.
Congratulations to both for a good final and excellent story for the Blog.
The last to be played was the Holmwood Plate between Golfer of the Year Barry Donovan and Christopher Walker.
This time Christopher had the bragging rights, although it was a closely fought battle.
Christopher was four up after 10 but Barry fought back with sand saves on the 11th and 12th. The two halved the 15th and 16th, Christopher “had a disaster” on the 17th but held on to win on the 18th.
Look out for the entry opening for the 2023 knockouts in the spring. Full details of the rules and how to enter will be covered in Richard Westergreen-Thorne’s newsletter.
