( No Golf Wed 15th - Foggy till Noon)
3 Ball Bowmaker- 1,2,3
Wow- what a Roll Up as 08:45 group arrived ..and just kept on coming.
Captain estimated 48 in total - which is a lot for a Friday when rest of Club Members tend to play.
Lots in the early Roll Up- Jeremy, Clive, Roger, Ian, , Gordon, Mark K , Dennis, Mark S , Steve S
Then Keefunt started sending out teams ahead of the Draw,
Top 3 Teams as shown below went out ahead of draw, then the rest followed. I was in group 12 and we teed-off at 10:06.
I recounted this to Jeremy, who was about to take a wonder-shot under a tree to the green - when he replied " That would drive me crazy" -
Ironically, this would have been a perfect day to have a few groups start on the 16th. It would not only have kept a few of us warm, and in before 14:00 - but it would have removed the cork in the bottle as younger Club Players gradually backed up behind us - which is great when 3 or 4 teams walk off after 15th.
Anyway, Captain introduced Roger Evans(CH 9) and his Brother in Law Chris Chapman(CH6) - both from Beaminster- ex West Bay Golf Club. Also there was Graham Lloyd(CH23)whom I never got the chance to chat to.
Chris playing off 4, with Muggo on 3 - were overshadowed by their 3rd Player - The Mayor of Chaffcome who scored on first 3 holes...
6 Teams had a "2" today
Nice to see Steve Holt back - who's had an RSV cough for past few Months; Bob White who's had so many problems I was reaching for the razor-blades.
Tim Purrett had an eventful drive over from deepest Chardstock - having to lie in a frozen pothole and change a wheel on his car..
We were all impressed when Miss Marple's adopted Son, Terry told us that Course was Fog Free at 07:15..untill we discovered he was still in bed and had Googled the Club !

Re your blog headline, it's not just a two horse race; with
2 discards Maxwell & Summers actually lead by 2 points. But how can
someone with the name Summers win the Winter League?!
NC aka " the Bean Counter"
