Challenge Cup at Dainton Park



"Get me George W on the phone..."
My first attempt at arranging an event didn’t go as well as I have seen them done. With confusions relating to who was attending and who wasn’t, Running around collecting unpaid fees and trying to get the teams out in an orderly manner and in time was getting a bit challenging. 



As a result I totally forgot about the Nearest the Pin competition. As quite a few teams had already teed off we decided to pull two cards out of the pack that had a par on any of the par 3 holes as winners.

We had a well attended Challenge Cup day at Dainton Park. 45 eager players turned up in a day that started with fairly heavy rain and thankfully at half way stage conditions got a lot better and even sun shone.
There were some good scores, some not so good and quite a few indifferent. The most important event of the day was a personal match between Sir Bob Barrow and myself which I am glad to report that I won on count back. He did threaten to disqualify me on the next event if I said anything but it is worth it.  May be by giving him a title will make him go easy on me.
Well done Danny, David M and Nick H who won the top three prizes. You can collect your prizes from Bob if he hasn’t drunk them all after losing his match. Lol
J Wandless and C Basterfield were the winners of the two NTP prizes
Thank you all for putting up with me. Things can only get better and that is a promise.
