The shortened 4th hole due to installation of fairway irrigation
The two-day heatwave was just a memory as 84 Seniors took to the cold and windy Carthagena course to compete in the Ken Robinson Scramble.
Scoring was close as 12 groups, each made up of four different handicap levels, came in with nett 54 or better.
But one group stood head and shoulders above the rest with Algy Grimes, George Burnham, Peter Sweeney and Phil Bateman recording a nett 50.
The nearest contenders, on nett 53, were Geoff Elcome, Richard Newman, Jan Olsen-Williams and Derek Weller.
In third place, also on nett 53, were Rafe Bateson, Warren Churms, Alan Curtis and Stephen Foster.
The course was shortened slightly because of fairway irrigation work on the 4th, leaving a wedge to the green from the temporary tee. A number of groups took full advantage by playing the hole in two.
With a two-tee start most groups stayed on in the clubhouse for lunch and the presentation.
But there was a sombre atmosphere as Captain David started proceedings with the sad news that Nick Schumann, who was due to be playing in the competition, had passed away suddenly the day before.
Nick was a long-standing and popular member of the Senior Section and will be greatly missed.
