Captain Richard Westergreen-Thorne with
Organiser Terry Domagala and their opponents
Friday saw the last of this years seniors matches, with a visit from Beds and county.
The twelve aside match was played on the Carthagena course which been subject to
course maintenance, meaning pick and place on the fairway was in place and the
greens were running much slower than normal. On what started as a fairly dull
overcast day, the trial of the two tee start system was used supervised by Barry
Donovan and as the morning progressed the weather turned into a pleasant warm
autumn morning.
The first group out was Captain Richard Westergreen Thorne partnered by myself
Terry Domagala, with a very tight match with many holes halved, Richard played
very well, with us winning the match on the 17 th hole. The following three groups out
of Algy Grimes and Jed Isbell, Jonathon Lean and Trevor Darrington and Paul Life
and Micheal Newstead all narrowly losing their matches it was left to the last two
pairs to try and salvage the match. The fifth group of Peter Imray and David Lincoln
won 1-0 followed in by a resounding win with the final pair of Paul Hammond and
Tony Walters winning 5-4, with Tony putting in a superb display thus earning JOG
seniors a 3-3 draw ending the season with Four draws in the last 4 matches.
The nearest the pin competition on the eighth hole was won by Algy Grimes, and the
morning was rounded off with a delightful meal of gammon and bubble and squeak
followed by a berry crumble.
I would like to end this with a big thank you to Match Secretary Algy Grimes, for the
effort he has put into organising this years senior matches, and all of the rest of the
committee.
