Seniors Captain Tony Lloyd with Lawrence Atherton, winner of the Martin Ives Shield
Two competitions for the price of one brought 96 seniors together on a glorious autumn day on the Carthagena course.
The stableford competition was played in three balls from the white tees - but the hidden teams were not revealed until the entrants were back in the clubhouse.
For the first time (we think) the result was tied, with two teams scoring 104 points. One team comprised of Graham Berry, Terry Domagala and Phil Gow, the other Oz Osman, Fred Williams and Richard Young.
They will share the Gordon Percival Trophy which this year will have six names inscribed on it. Fight it out yourselves chaps whose mantelpiece it sits on!
The trophy could have been won outright by the Berry, Domagala, Gow team but for the fact that Graham (and one of his playing partners) incurred a two-shot penalty on the 18th after accidentally playing their first shots from the wrong tee. Fair play to them for penalising themselves.
Each of the team players won a £25 pro shop voucher.
The individual competition was won by Lawrence Atherton who won a £40 pro shop voucher and the Martin Ives Trophy with a score of 41 points. Runner up was Tony Lloyd on 39 points (£30) and third place on countback (also 39 pts) went to David Howley (£20).
£10 raffle prizes were won by Richard Newman, Steve Collins, Tony Munn and Pat Gilgallon.
Many thanks to Nigel Underwood for organising a very complicated competition and for handling a flurry of last minute changes.
