Seniors and Ladies Scramble November 1, 2022


Captains Lorna Jerome and Algy Grimes congratulate the winning team: Val Cooper, Nigel Underwood, David Crosby and Graham Lewis

 Sunshine and showers - or should that be squalls? - greeted ladies and seniors playing on the John O’Gaunt course.

But the conditions failed to dampen the spirits of the 88 entrants in this ever-popular scramble.

Once dried out there was a lot of friendly banter in the clubhouse, including a round of applause for birthday girl Marion Cooper.

Four teams scored nett 60 points but on countback third place went to Christine Billington, Stuart Gardner,  David McNair and Rhonda Stallard. 

In second place, also on 60 points, was Clive Bassindale, Anna Hoad, Paul Jones and Hilary Pearmain.

But the winners, on nett 59 points, were Val Cooper, David Crosby, Nigel Underwood and Graham Lewis. Thanks to David for finding his feminine side by standing in at the last minute for a lady who had to drop out.

Unofficial “gentlemen of the day” prize went to Algy for breaking into a rare sprint in pursuit of Lorna’s brolly!

The raffle raised £260 to be shared between the ladies’ and seniors’ captains charities.


Second place: Anna Hoad, Hilary Pearmain, Clive Bassindale and Paul Jones



Third place: David McNair, Stuart Gardner, Rhona Stallard and Christine Billington
