Vice Captains Match Report vs Enmore 27/10/2017 (away)


First the good bits the weather was fantastic the course was in very good condition although
the greens were slow which caught some of us out, as they had been treated with sand about a week or so ago and they now needed a cut.


Unfortunately Enmore had their revenge on us as we beat them at home 5/2.

A. Chance/M. King                Lost  3&2
G. Wallace/J. Wandless       Lost  4&3
B. Heath/ F. Martin              Lost  6&5
C. Gingell/ J. Siabi                 Won 2&1
S. Pope/ A. Beale                  Lost  5&4
R. Davis/ M. Bargery            Halved
N. Hodder/B. Singleton       Halved

Match result: Lost 5-2
Well done to Nobby & Barry who had a win & a half  over the two legs against their opponent’s and to Chris & James who were are only winners today.


B. Heath (vice Captain)






The Captain, although not playing  was informed that play was extremely slow, up to 5

 Hours to play a three man team format. This is Far Too Slow , especially in a Texas

Scramble.

In future, when the Tee on the second hole is at the winter position, for the purposes of

 Seniors Roll Up Competitions, please use this hole as a” CALL  THROUGH”  hole.This

will hopefully ease the situation somewhat.

It was also reported that the grass off the fairways was quite long, therefore finding golf

 balls was quite hard. It must be appreciated that the greenkeepers ,trying to cut

grass when conditions under foot is very wet is quite difficult, without leaving wet cut grass

 on the surface for us to moan about.


Today there were six Two’s paying £4.75 per “2” therefore £1.50 per person per “2”

R.J.S. 27.10.2017


    JKP has to print apology to Mr Wallis who has received numerous phone calls wishing him well with his combined heart & lung surgery. Apparently I oversimplified his Physiology and thought they would just do both jobs 'whilst they were in there'.
Both a Heart Valve Repair and a Nodule Removal from his Lungs have to be done and Monday is his final consultation to work out the Care Plan etc
Mr Wallis was, however, extremely impressed as to how many well-wishers had taken the trouble to call him and thanks you all...well except for the one who asked if he could have his buggy.
Today, he played his little heart out and also sank a putt for the Two which was very welcome by his playing partners. His Tee-Shirt is standard Musgrove Pre-Op issue.
