Winter League Round One.

 

Despite a little light rain at the start, the day remained fine and good for golf. The overnight rain excluded buggies and made the course play longer but despite that conditions on the course were very acceptable.

 

We gained another team at the start and also lost one. Robin Flower and Martin Leigh joined us and if they continue as they did today will be a team to watch out for. However, John Wallis decided as buggies were not allowed today, not to continue. Dickie Hall was away and not available on some Mondays. We shall miss them.

 

Twenty teams took part, and nine played an individual stableford. Scoring was steady with the anticipated front runners getting off to a good start. Thirty eight was the best score going to the Vice Captain and the retiring Captain; it was all very close with the leading teams separated by only a point.

 

Today we learned how we can improve on this event. The drawn times worked well for most teams and most people paid the one off £6 per team entry money. The £1.50 weekly money will be dropped due to the difficulty of fairly administering the wins, so from now on, get your tee times and play. Today’s money will be returned or credited to your accounts (please see Keith) and individuals playing the stableford will be now paid on the day, this week as well. Finally, please make sure that you play to your correct club handicap and do the correct three quarter calculation and, when you sign your card check see that the correct scores are shown.
