Winners Tony Whittaker and Gary Fleming with Captain Richard Westergreen-Thorne
Tony Lloyd reports on one of the Senior Section's top events
It's the day when John O'Gaunt Seniors can treat their guests to a taste of what our great club offers ... and I think it is fair to say that no one was disappointed.
Eighty-four members and guests enjoyed a great day of golf on the John O'Gaunt course followed by a hearty meal.
It was hot day, probably the hottest of the year so far, when brollies were used as sunshades for a change.
This was a four-ball better-ball competition so you would expect some good scores. And we weren't disappointed.
In first place, with 45 points, were Tony Whittaker and Gary Fleming. In second, with 43 on countback, were Paul Hammond and Suky Sehmbi and in third were Graham Lewis and his son Paul.
Nearest the Pin on the 4th was won by Suky Sehmbi, Nearest the Pin on the 10th was won by Jack Shepherd, Nearest the Pin on the 12th in 2 was won by Andrew Clarke and Nearest the Pin on the 16th was won by Richard Herbert. Nearest the Rope on the 17th was won by Tom Day but a special prize for hitting beyond the rope was awarded to Gary Fleming.
The raffle was well supported and raised a whopping £465 for Captain Richard Westergreen-Thorne's charity, the British Heart Foundation.
The competition was run by Member and Guest Day stalwarts Nigel and Sabrina Underwood whose meticulous planning ensured that the day went without a hitch.
It's a cliche, but a great day was truly had by all.
