Monday 31st October - Halloween 4BBB

...with the invasion of the Harlequin Ladybird.
..which swarmed all over us today...

We have filled out a report for the Ladybird trust who want all reported sightings of this invasive species.















Whilst 16 of our members were playing away at Minehead today,


THE MINEHEAD G.C.ANNUAL INTER CLUB CHALLENGE TROPHY


This Annual event was held on Monday 31st October 2016 at the Minehead and West Somerset G.C.


12 Teams of eight players from teams around the South West took part, playing a 4BBB format, off Full Handicap.


CST Seniors  were  represented by two teams. There were nearest the pin on all Par 3’s as well as a 2’s competition.


Results:


CST “A” Team  :  Danny Dowell/Ian Griffiths  39pts  Bob Barrow/George Wallace  39pts


                              Alan Chance/Frank Martin  39pts  Alan Keenan/Roger Stone 36pts

The overall winning team score was Drayton G.C. 166Points. And were presented with the Challenge Trophy.


Alan Keenan Nearest the Pin 14th, George Wallace Nearest the Pin 18th


As a matter of interest there was only  ONE TWO SPOT from the complete field.


Some of the Pin positions were really difficult (the greenkeeper must have got out of bed on the wrong side! )


R.J.S. 01.11.16




.......another 46 played in the rollup – not bad for a late October day. Conditions were variable and visibility also varied from perfectly clear to near pea souper.



The best half of the day was 24 points scored by Ron Sutherland and Bob Rees when visibility was practically zero. James Siabi did his utmost to win with a four pointer on the last but was one point short of the eventual winners, Bryan Frost and John Pearce, whose 23 points on the back half was easily the best inward score.



There were 8 birdies each paying £2.80 per team.

   also had to report to the Haggis Trust another invasive species that crossed the border uninvited and set a target of 24 points on the front 9..only to fade on the run for home....


But well done to everyone for such great communication when the fog swooped back in.

  it was like stepping from Darkness into the Light.

                                                            others took no chances.....



but didn't stop some great shots !!!!



   and of course a nice little 2 for 4 points.....
