3 ball Hassle - 10th  October 2016



For the first time in my experience, there were more members in the early start than in the late start. Perhaps it was to welcome Phil Hunt to the “early birds”. The frosty start of the day did little to deter many of our hardier souls. A special mention should go to the third place team Crisp/ Irons/Livens. It a while since a podium place was awarded to a nonagenarian.

I don’t have any stories to report from today apart from the fact that it is clear that class told in the end with Danny, Des  and Terry winning by a narrow margin.

There were three 2’s paying £6.00 per team.

Trevor Dobson and Bert Robinson played the October Rolling Stableford scoring 36 and 31 points respectively. Trevor now lies 2nd to Frank Martin who scored 37 points on the 3rd October.

In todays inter club match we played Long Sutton and won 3½ - 2½. It’s fair to say that the Long Sutton Captain made the longest speech ever when giving out the result, but finally stuttering, he  articulated the relevant numbers. Whilst he was attempting to give the results  he was constantly harangued by Mr. Gage, so he said "Let me give you the result of the last group, Forster / Gage - a win for Long Sutton by 6 and 5...and suddenly it was all quiet again.



Nick Hill and Bob Hollingworth halved

Barrie Heath and Bill Hilson halved

Mike Hone and Nobby Hodder won 5 and 4

Keith Potter and Bryan Frost won 4 and 2

John Pearce and Barry Singleton halved

Richard Forster and Lyndsey Gage lost 6 and 5
